What motherboar is that on? - and FYI my Q6600ES has whacked temp reporting (as per coretemp) it was telling me i was loading at 80-90*C which acording to me being able to touch the heatsink near the base i figure it was in the 50's as i could still touch the heatsink, and if it was near 80 i would be burned instantly.
Also the Q6600's are rated for 110*C (or something really close) i know its a little over 100*C. I had mine up to 3.06Ghz for a couple days there dident really play with it that much as it was just for some benchmarks, i am still curiouse to see what they will do when i put some time into it. |
It's on my Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 (v1.0). I'm pretty confident that the current temps are good. (high 40's - low 50's). When I pulled the hsf off after seeing the 70c temps, the contact mark on the bottom of the hsf only covered 1/4 of the cpu's IHS, so I realized I hadn't used enough thermal paste. I think this q6600 will start throttling back at 100c, but I really didn't want to test it.
With 4gb of ram (only 3.5Gb actually usable in Vista) I can run 2 virtual machines and still get pretty good performance for general web browsing, email and open office work. |
Not to bad on that motherboard - lots of people have been having alot of success with it. what strap are you using? and FYI you should be fine up into the 70's for load temps  |
