I use water on my Q6600, but when I'm testing I generally use a TRUE 120 with a high CFM low noise fan. Generally runs about 40c Idle in the TT Armor case. Depending on case air flow it should run close to that.

I guess its because my fan broke and im using the 120mm fan that came with it instead of the scythe, but the weird thing is... when i first installed it, the temps were in the mid-high 30s not mid to high 40s?
