Are you recording temps via SpeedFan ? If so, you need to add 15 deg to that measurement.

You only add the 15 for a quad.Core 2 duo reporting is correct, I believe.
wow, that would mean his e6300 and Q6600 both idle at approximately the same temperature......... OP, were you using the Pro 7 on the e6300 as well?

Yes, both 0.95 and 0.95.4(beta) do (I don't know about earlier versions).

I use core temp and everest ultimate(which prefer)with my qx6700 and they both work great.

Oh dear me.
Running your cpu at low temps can shorten it's life... because the oil doesn't get viscous enough and premature wear can occur during boot startup cycle.
I recommend a small electric block heater mounted right in front of your HSF (remember to plug it in at night, a timer might be a good idea).
You might also want to switch to a low temperature cpu oil, something a bit thinner - maybe a 5w30.

Funniest post ever. To the OP, for reference Core Temp 0.95 reports my Q6600 @ 43ºC (idle) and around 59ºC (load). Anyone know the accuracy of Core Temp?

What about nVidia monitor on an 680i board? Because I just did an install for a friend and the monitor said it was running at 26C overclocked at 2.8ghz...
My temp is close your temp. what is your cooler?

I think a reversed peltier would be more efficient for heating.

Zalman 9500. I'm very happy with it. With my Antec 900 case - and really any case with a rear exhaust fan - i think it's crucial to have a cpu cooler that blows air towards the rear exhaust fan. Also, i should clarify that i reported those temps *before* I overclocked my cpu. With the OC i idle at around the same, but at load i'm @ 63ºC. That was after using Prime95 for 2 hours.
