qwwwizx,
My temps seem to hover in the high 50's and low 60's at 3.3Ghz. The low temps I was mentioning earlier were based on running the folding@home SMP client @ 3.0Ghz. I have since learned that folding@home does not load the cpu as much as four instances of Prime95. I suspect that if sloth151 tried 4 instances of prime95 (or two instances or Orthos) he would experience the same issue.
All my temperatures were based on the assumption that %100 load with folding@home was the same as %100 load with prime 95. It's not, there is a huge difference in temps (approx. 15c) when running 4 instances of prime95. I used Prime95 to test stability for about 10hrs. and haven't used it since. I also have not come across another program that can load the cpu that heavily and my everyday loaded temps rarely see anything above 62c that is usually only when I fire up WoW and keep folding@home running in the background.
Another thing that doesn't hurt is my ambient room temps rarely get warmer than 70f
I originally suggested that you should try to keep temps below 60c if possible. After reading quite a bit on other forums about the q6600's I think you would be perfectly safe with loaded temps around 65c.
