So lets say that i've got this q6600 and a pretty decently cooled system and a pretty top end CPU cooler, and have made sure the cooler is on correctly with high quality thermal paste, and have made sure my fans work and that they are in the correct direction, and have made sure that i am at stock settings,,,,,but i still idle at +/- 38 C. Now lets keep in mind that my VID is 1.325 but still....38...seriously. That is a little bit under what most q6600's at stock speeds put out under LOAD. Although lapping may be the solution, Will i see an 8-10 difference in temperature? If lapping only lowers my temps by lets say 3 or 4 than i think i am just going to buy a new chip. Is there any way to tell if your motherboard is the problem besides swapping chips? I am pretty sure my power supply is not the problem (TX 750W) but who knows?
Are those who get hot chips just screwed?
