Or is this the 'overall' temperature of the Q6600? Core temperatures look ok, but perhaps a bit high for an idle system? > My room ambient is 16C and hard drives are at 33C. > My 8800GTS GPU is at 56C. Sounds similar to what I have. > Running Prime95 now I see Tcase = 50C, 0=58C, 1 = 48C, 2= 47C 3 = 59C. > Tcase MAX for the 6600 G0 is 71C. What do you mean with Tcase MAX? The maximum temperature you ever saw, or the temperature until which a Q6600 G0 is certified to work ok? If that's indeed the 'overall' temperature of the Q6600, at 71C I expect the cores to be around 90 to 100 C? I'm running a Q6600 using the default Intel cooler, no overclocking, and it's running SetiBOINC 24/7. I get an 'overall' temperature of around 55-57C, with the cores hovering around the 65-70C mark. I might have to experiment a bit with the settings of the case-fans, since I'm using an Antec P182 case with all of the case-fans set at the lowest speed. > I'm using Speedfan with the -15C temperarure adjustment applied. > Measurement readouts using Everest are the same. What do you mean with "the -15C temperature adjustment"? Regards, Patrick. |
