I recently upgraded to the new Thermalright True Spirit 120.
I am running ,when idle, at low-mid 40s C. (43, 45, 46 42 ) I put a 100% load on all cores for like 20 minutes (by running 4 or 5 video encoding process) and was reaching mid-high 60s C. i think the highest was 68C
am i just being paranoid? is my case not directing air traffic good? there is one front air intake fan and then one exhaust fan by the cpu as you can see in the photo. i even bought fancy thermal grease stuff too. im sure these temps are fine, but i want to start OCing and these temps don't give me confidence.
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40GHz (stock speeds)
