1) Message boards : The Lounge : How hot does your CPU get? (Message 16206) Posted 31 Mar 2008 by cosmicfate Post: Hi, my Q6600 runs at < 45° at default freq 2,4 GHz. I've a cheap but good Thermaltake water cooling system. I use this cpu since a few days. Before I had a E6600. It runs at max 47° overclocked at 3,2 GHz instead 2,4 GHz default. I wanted to increase the frequency but at 3,3 GHz were errors at prime95. I think my power supply its not the very best. The vcore degreases significant when I use the cpu fully loaded. The temps of the new quadcore are not very good. I dont know why. The cooling system is the same than before. I ve to check it somewhen in the next days. Buts its nothing: I had a pentium 4 3,4 GHz in a ready build computer from a (super)market. It climbs up to 86° C. I bought a new cooling device. It degreased to 65° C. Maybe the Q6600 is higher temperated than the E6600. It takes 95 w instead of 65 w at full load. While the oc-test of the E6600 I saw, that I had under BOINC 1°-2° C more than with prime95. Both run for hours when I'm checking the temps. Did anyone saw something similar? cosmicfate edit: something about my case: economy classe office case. Only one case fan, and one on the graphics device.
