That is very reassuring, this is my first time playing around with esxi and VM's, I'm sure its something simple that I over looked. I havent configured anything for IPMI. Is there a way to check the coretemp in esxi, or do I have to look somewhere in bios?

It has been this way idling for about a month now, and I'm just noticing this now. Fans are all spinning, everything feels nice and cool, I did remove the plastic from the heat sink, and I used Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound. I will shut this down and try to reseat the heatsink. Will upgrading the board mess with any of my VM's or esxi?

Hey guys, I built a dual xeon 2670 with the Intel S2600C motherboard from Natex. I put it in a Norco 4224, and I am using two Noctua NH-U9DXi4 for the CPU cooling. I've got esxi running a couple ubuntu VM's and when I check my sensors, coretemp is reading 100.0*C for every single core, never fluctuating. My VM has 10 cores assigned out of the 16 available, and the sensor output is only showing 10 core temps. The heatsink is cold to the touch, and there's no burning smell, so I'm not actually sure if it's idling at 100.0*C. Is it possible that the heatsink isn't installed properly and the chip is hitting a thermal limiter? I haven't upgraded the BMC, Bios, FRUSDR and ME, would this have an effect on the temp sensor? Can I upgrade these things without wiping my system? Thanks!
