q6600 temps?

[s14sliden]

what should temps on idle be for my q6600? and what temp is when its getting way to hot on a load? thanks everyone

depends on the heatsink and tim you use. on my water cooled q6600 oced to 3.075 ghz my load is 45 (i dont know my idle cause its folding 24/7) but yours will undoubtly be different. i belive intel specifies the q6600 to be tolerant of about 65-70 degrees c

no higher than 70 on load. Idle is usually 39-42C. But Idle depends on your ambient. Higher ambient, the higher your idle
