Temp Problems with Q6600 Batch L737B270

[agentfrost]

***UPDATE***
I bought a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme to replace the Xigmatek, and it reduced the temps drastically. I'm running 3.6Ghz with 1.28 vcore, and the temps are idling in the low 30s and load temps in the high 40s. It is 24hrs small ftt prime stable. This chip is awesome!

CPU: Q6600 VID: 1.2000v Batch # L737B270
Mobo: Abit IP35 Pro Bios 14
HS: Xigmatek HDT-S1283

Does the L737B batches run hotter than other batches? I had a L804A running at 3.4ghz with 1.5 vcore, and the idle temps were at around 30 for all 4 cores. Now I have a L737B running at 3.4ghz with a lower vcore of 1.26, but the temps are at 38, 33, 35, 40. I thought the lower the vcore lower the temps. I can't even run prime95 without the thermal protection siren going off. I remounted the heat sink twice already. If this is normal, then I'll just buy a water cooling kit. But if I this is a bad chip, I'm getting rid of it.

Thats an idle temp right?

If so, load the cores down with small primes and re-post the temps. Idle temps are badly affected by ambiant temp etc and its the fully loaded temps you need to worry about.

If those temps are fully loaded, wanna swap for mine as thats running very cool.

yeah it's idle temp. the load temp with prime is in the high 70s. I'm just gonna lap it and go water cooling.

My temp for Q9450 is 32c overclocked at 3.6ghz vcore 1.28 http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/j/Jatt6/138876/otpwdstqcr.jpg using realtemp . Make sure the TJMax is 95c for Q9450 but i think its tjmax is 85c for q6600. In coretemp you have to modify the settings.ini to make see TJMax as 95c see http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/j/Jatt6/138714/plgjalnqqn.jpg it sees at 95c in coretemp . Iam not using watercooling its Thermalright ultra 120 eXtreme cpu cooler. Bye

I think something is wrong with your heatsink or mounting. You should get no higher that 70 degrees at that voltage.
