Just an odd question.

I have a Q6600 at 8*400 = 3.2

I have a Thermaltake Saprano.

I removed the plastic part off the front of the case, so it's like a metal skeletal structure and the 120 MM fan seems to be pushing tons more air.

I just found my coretemps surprising.

It's 73*F in this room

My CPU is at 1.225V


Core 1 : 21*C
Core 2 : 25*C
Core 3 : 21*C
Core 4 : 25*C


Before they were about 10*C higher. I am really quite amazed.......................... Just wondering if these are good idle air temps for the q6600 at 3.2. Xigmatek Heatsink.

P.S., I set the T.j Max to 90*C as rated by intel, for G0 stepping.

Maybe I should push for 3.6 since winter is coming... finally.
 
use realtemp since it has the correct tjmax for that processor.. see if they match your coretemp readings.. then it will tell you if the tjmax is set correctly.. even if the temps were right.. you cant really believe the idle temps since the temp sensors on the core 2's are incorrect under 50C, especially the idle temps..
 
Well i'm at 8x413 and my idle temps are around 35c. I use RealTemp and I have TJ Max set at 95c. I think 95c is the correct setting. Either way, your temps are fine.
