Hey guys,
I recently checked out my temps for my Q6600, and found them to be high - B3 stepping, not OCed, running with a Thermaltake V1 heatsink. Coretemp reports my temps at:
Core 0: 52C
Core 1: 49C
Core 2: 44C
Core 3: 44C
This is with multitasking, but not stressing the CPU, in a room that isn't hot. These temps seemed a bit off, so I felt the heatpipes on my V1, and the entire heatsink feels warm - not hot. Could this be a bad IHS...bad sensors? It seems hot, and I know the B3s run hotter, but this just seems abnormal.
Oh, and a eVGA 680i SLI Motherboard, Antec 900 case ( have the side off now, no real change. Hell, I have the AC on blowing in the general direction of the intake fans on my Antec 900, and STILL no real change.)
Thanks,
RA
