idle temps mean nothing.
What does she load at?

Little harsh?
But just post you CoreTemp after a 10 minute run of small fft's in Prime95

Well thats the thing i forgot to mention. At stock settings she is at 57-58 C under load...thats okay although most q6600's are in their 40's. At 3.2 she is over 70. I mean under 60 is fine but that wasnt small fft's, it was just the beginning of blend on p95 which is cooler for me. So I guess i could just keep it at 2.4... but stock is no fun. btw corky dorkelson i am a cyclist as well, do you race?

What CPU cooler are you using?
And sorry if that came off as harsh. It wasn't necessary directed at you, but the community as a whole.
And as far as being a cyclist, I am more of a mechanic than a rider lately, never really raced. I'm too fat now anyway.

BTW, in User CP go to system and put your current rig specs on there so we can clarify and help you out. Another thing... What the hell does "top end CPU cooler" and "high quality thermal paste" even mean? Just post you CPU cooler with the thermal paste name, dont make us GUESS

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? |

That Zalman is great for a dual, but can't cut it with a quad. Your temps are right in line with most others, maybe a touch higher.
