hey,

i was just wondering what temp my cpu should be running at? its a Q6600 its running between 40-60
is that too hot? :/ its only cooled by the 2 fans in my case and the cpu cooler i got with the processor.

thanks

Yep if its 60*C at full load.

The CPU is approved to run with that HSF so as long as it connected and installed correctly, then the temps are fine. Don't expect any room for overclocking though. You'll need a better cooler for that, such as the Artic Freezer 7 pro or the Tuniq Tower.
