How hot should a Q6600 G0 be on a Tuniq Tower at idle, mine seems toasty.

There is four files in the x64 Vista version. It's been linked to on the first page in this post.

oh yeah, I see four files, so do i install the bat or exe first?

These are files you should end up with, after extracting the download, run Atsiv, then coretemp-startup.
You will need to run this every time you want to run coretemp.
Are you extracting the download to a new file!

Load the coretemp-startup .bat file before loading the CoreTemp .exe.

Bony Maloney · 8 Dec 2007 at 14:49

double click coretemp-startup, then run coretemp .exe

I don't get a templog file, but i get the rest.

Cob · 8 Dec 2007 at 14:50

The temp log file appears after the first time the app is loaded.

That VID is crazy if it's correct :eek:

Get some load through it.

RJC · 8 Dec 2007 at 14:56

Temps idle don't look to bad, I'm running one at stock at the moment idle is 30,32,26,27 and this is under water (swiftech).

Edit: My VID is 1.25v

should the VID be higher or lower?

btw speedstep is on aswell, so it's actually only running at 1600mhz.

Cob · 8 Dec 2007 at 14:59

Well VID usually ranges from 1.25-1.325v, with lower being considered to be better.

oh ok, well that's good then

just running prime, i'll get s screenshot up after its been on a few mintues.

Cob · 8 Dec 2007 at 15:04

I'm making the assumption that Speedstep doesn't interfere with the reading of the VID. If it does then it might actually be higher than is being shown atm.

it appears that speedstep does effect VID...

temps still seem too high though

edit: all temps gone up by 3-4c since i posted this.

lettuce · 8 Dec 2007 at 15:11

Yeah must admit seem on the rather hot side. My Q6600's (Rev. Go @3.4) temp is at 22c at the moment according to Everest, but i have the thermalright 120 extreme HS

Cob · 8 Dec 2007 at 15:11

Yip definitely too warm for stock.

Is the fan running at full speed?

RJC · 8 Dec 2007 at 15:11

What's the fan RPM.

yantorsen · 8 Dec 2007 at 15:12

fans running at high on my fan controller, and according to speedfan its at 2000rpm

Are you sure the TT isn't jammed against the chipset heatsink or anything?

The TT definitely needs to be reseated.

well it sits right over the northbridge heatsink, which gets quite hot, but it isnt touching it.

what will reseating do, becasue that means taking my pc apart again
