Quad core owners - Help me with something please :)
Since I've had this Q6600, I have had silly high temps. I have been trying to get to the bottom of whats causing them, without much success, but I have a suspicion that its the top of the IHS that isnt flat.
Would anyone with a quad CPU be kind enough to fit the stock intel cooler that came with it, and set 2 x orthos, or 4 x sp2004, or 1x OCCT, at stock settings and tell me what temps they get after say an hour.
I'm averaging around 69-70c in a fairly cold room which is 20c.
On the intel site, it says 62.2c max, then goes on to say something about that temp being measured in the geometric centre of the top of the IHS, so I'm not really sure what is acceptable.
70c seems way too hot for a stock CPU.
Anyone? :)
