Quad core temps question

[Renob]

Hello All,

I have a 6600 running at 334x9 at 3006 mhz

Im using Core Temp 0.99 to read my temps at idel my core temps are
core 0 41c
core 1 36c
core 2 33c
core 3 36c

is this normal?

I have stock cooling but nice case cooling lots of air flow.

Here are my underload temps.

core 0 68 to 70c
core 1 66 to 68c
core 2 67c 69c
core 3 65 to 68c

What do you guys think of these temps?

Looks right, maybe even better than the usual stock heatsink temps I see.

Seems ok for idle temps aren't very important... it's the load temps that matter!

 

[Renob]

Thanks for the info, I have now some load temps running prime 95 under full load for 30min


core 0 68 to 70c
core 1 66 to 68c
core 2 67c 69c
core 3 65 to 68c

What do you guys think of these temps?

Too high... you really need to upgrade your cooling dude. The TRUE is one of the best HS out there.

Too high

To high as in damage causing high?

 

[myocardia]

No, but still too high. Of course, if you aren't plnning on overclocking any higher, you're fine. My Q6600 runs 10C cooler at 3.2 Ghz, though, and I'm only using a Scythe Ninja.

I have been testing it while gaming and none of the cores ever get above 50c so I think Im good, Im done with the overclocking for now.

Thanks for all the feedback.
