My Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU reaches 60c on full load @ 3.06ghz, is that too high?

I'm also running it at default vaultage on 3.06ghz, do i need to increase it or just leave it on default (auto)?


Thanks
 
Depends on what you used to measure it but in general that is about right and nowhere near the thermal maximum. Around 60 to 65 C under full load is my comfort zone for my chip.

Others can and have run it hotter but I am conservative.


thats a good overclock on stock voltage and if you are happy at that speed I do not see the need to give it more voltage unless stability problems arrise. If you want to give it just a bit more voltage it probally wouldn not hurt nor increase your temps much however its hard to argue with "if its not broke, dont fix it.".

with core temp i get core1- 71c core2- 68c full load and with easy tune 5 i get 60 c full load, which one is right? should i be worried if the 71c is the correct one?

it is kind of high temp. My 6300 overclocked to 3.150Ghz and temp is around 35/50 idle/load using easytune5 and 43/60 idle/load using Intel Thermal Analysis Tool.

are u using stock heatsink/fan?
 
agree with Fox I use core temp which since it reads the internal diode should report higher than most utilities and 70C is above my comfort level but you are not in danger zone.

I would back off a bit.
