Cheapest fix to this cpu problem

[Deleted member 61728]

Hi ive had a q6600 [email protected] now for about 2 year now and thinking of dithing it or coming up with an alternate mainly because even under basic watercooling it heats up to 60+ in games.

What would the cheapest fix possible be get the energy efficient q6600 or something else or get a different wc or go ac instead ?


thanks in advance

I've heard good aircooling is better than cheap watercooling. So either get good aircooling or upgrade your water

As you said, whatevers cheaper.

Flog it and get a second-hand G0.

I wouldn't worry about it, my B3's been up to 96 and didn't throttle. Still going strong

Try and get the same clock on lower volts? Volts make huge differences to heat.
