Hey guys. I'm just wondering what the "acceptable" idle temperatures are for the q6600 using the stock heat sink and fan.
Right now, i'm getting around 55C - 60C for each of the 4 cores when just sitting at vista desktop. If I load the cores to 100% using TAT, I get around 70C - 75C for the loaded cores.
I'm planning on getting a new heat sink, but I keep reading that if I don't plan on over clocking, the stock cooler should be fine.
My case is a Antec p180b and i got a eVGA nforce 680i mobo.
