q6600 temp ranges needed

[graysky]

@AkumaX: I'll add your results to the table, thanks for participating.

I'm getting ~60C load @3.20GHz, ~65C load @3.30GHz with Scythe Andy HSF. (<- Highly recommended for folks who are looking for traditional push-down HSF. But the stock fan is somewhat weak)

I though I'd dig this old thread up vs starting a new one.

I just got a Q6600 I have a Ninja revB

I'm really struggling at stock to keep the temps down as measured by core temp/everest

at the moment idle I've got:

51,48,52,54dC

under load (4x prime's small FFT's) after 10mins

78,78,84,84

Ambient ~ 22dC Mobo (PK5) ~ 39dC

these seem why high??

Too hot dude. Way too hot.

Lap your HS and your IHS on the Q6600 for starters. Also try to minimize your vcore if you haven't already.

See my temps in the q6600 lapping thread.

Yeh, I though it was v hot vs everyone else, seem I have a bit of a crappy chip athough it seemed to be a good lot number.

I haven't done any messing at all I was worried about my temps, I wish I'd not sold my phase change cooling now

I wasn't too impressed with heatsink finish, I'm sure some lapping will help

Thanks!

I was getting similar temps with my quad and scythe ninja. I actualy hit about 88c in core temp with orthos.

Wow dude... 88 °C is insane. How uneven was the surface of your Ninja?

Ninja has a pritty poor fan when AT tested, maybe with a better fan I can get better temps.

Water/Phase seems the way to go though.

Seemed pretty smooth, it had no trouble keeping my E6600 at 50c or less full load at 3.1ghz.

....

i think id cry if my quads went up that high.

Currently my new Q6600 is probably my hottest chip. My Xeons seem to run a tad bit cooler then the Q's.


I have 3 Quads. And i'll most likely get a 4th when the new g0 stepping arrives in september.

But

Q6600 -> 400x9
X3220 -> 420x8
X3210 -> 420x8


My X3220 sucks hardcore. :

@yoxxy woot i think i have more quads then you now
