Axon

I have an akasa cooler which is mostly identical to the AC Freezer 7 Pro and my E6600 is oced from stock 2.4GHz to 3.6GHz with idle temps of 50 C at stock speeds its 40 C so im just wondering if 50 C is acceptable for an E6600 oced @ 3.6GHz

Stay under 60C load and your good to go.

Really, it's the load temps that matter. 50°C is fairly hot for idle, but then again, if the CPU tops out under 60°C full load it's nothing too much to worry about...

What are your full load temps?

Under Orthos load my CPU tops at ~55°C (give or take a degree). When playing games like HL2, Doom3, or Quake4, my cpu barely touches 40°C. This should give you some idea of how much more Orthos stresses your computer than actual gaming.
