'high' 6600 idle temps

[Koko56]

Recently my temps have gone up by a few degrees ( http://http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1154094 ) now they my idle temperature is about 45C and it gets to about 52 - 53 on load, so is this anything I should be worried about - because I am .

Also please can anyone make suggestions on why it went up, please people need help.

Thanks for any replies.

No, nothing at all to worry about as long as you stay under 85c. I personally like to stay under 60c in a SP2004 load for hours, but in relation to ambient room temps, this can be a hard thing to accomplish.

your not going to get dessert until you finish the thread you started.

for some reason your sig says your running a c2d 6600 at stock speeds- but your worrying about temps? if everythings at stock then sit back get a box of tissues and give your wrist a work out, no need to watch temps.

anything under 60C is perfectly fine with this chip. though if your not overclocking you wasted 300 bucks on a chip that can pull a 75%OC with adequate cooling.

EDIT: 85C !?! yea nothing to worry about if you dont worry about structure fires. but seriously- if you ever see coretemp reading 85C pull the power cord. but dont worry its all but impossible to get to 85C at stock volts unless you take your HSF off.

Yeah, it is at stock - that is why I'm worried , and there is also no need to overclock... for me at least. I just wanna know WHY did the temps rise - I did not do anything else.

well what i was getting at is- dont worry. your computer is running as it should. temps are well within specification. there are many things that can cause a small increase in temp. as previously posted, new software can read things differently. room temperature might be different, you may have moved a fan so it isnt blowing where it used to be. but nothing i see is dangerous so go about your life and dont worry.

Oh well, looks like I will just have to get a better cooler and OC.

PS - If I put a fan in the side of my case will it make it better, or worse?
