Hey, I don't know what is going on... but all of my temp programs (everest, core temp, pc wizard) read the same temps with my Quad 6600 cpu at stock and when it is overclocked to 3.0? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, if anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated!

 

[Bitemarks and bloodstains]

have you upped the vcore if not then the temps will be the same

 

[wire]

Are the load temps exactly the same? Maybe you just have awesome cooling?

Btw, I noticed your from WI!

 

[jokesonme]

Yeah load temps are close to the same, I just thought my idles would be alot lower for stock.

 

[standard235]

Hmm...

Did you apply AS5 correctly?

 

[kingwilliam]

What are the temps?

 

[jokesonme]

Avg of 52 for idle, and running 4 instances of Prime95 (one for each core) Avg Core temp is about 68.5

 

[RPIJG]

ouch, that seems a bit high to me, I would check the that the heatsink is on there right.

 

[kingwilliam]

Yep...you may have put too much thermal paste on there

 

[kevg73]

make sure all the screws holding down the tuniq are tightened all the way down. only use less than a grain of rice size drop of AS5. you want to keep your load under 60C

 

[jokesonme]

Yeah I used a line like it said in the Duo guide, but a grain of rice you say? Sounds good I'll be trying that tomorrow and getting back to you.

The Tuniq is an amazing cooler, so you should definitely not be getting temps like that. I've had the vcore up to 1.46 and clocking over 3Ghz without my load temp ever going above 45C, and that's with an ambient of 25C
