q6600 temp questions.

NoctisReitop · April 16th, 2008

Just wondering what you guys with q6600s (stock and oc) are getting for average temps under idle and load conditions. I think mine's fishy (for whatever reason, whether it be fault of mine or not). I started to tinker with oc'ing (a mere 11%) and my temps doubled. With stock clocking I usually saw idle temps around 30-32 degrees C. I do not think it ever hit < 30. I've got a geminII with two Arctic 12's (56 cfm each) cooling it.

But before we discuss the latter nonsense, let's discuss teh former sense: what're your temps?
