E6300: fanless - these temps ok?

[Legend]

Using a fanless NT06-Lite heatsink on a not-overclocked (yet) E6300 inside a Lian Li V600 case, with the PSU fan directly above the cooler (about 0.5 cm gap between them). Getting temps (using Core Temp) of 34/35 degrees on both cores at idle. This seem ok? Was a bit wary about this being a fanless cooler, but seems to be holding together ok... for now... wondering what will happen if and when I OC it...

lol cant tell you anything with idle temps. We need to know load temps. Run orthos to stress the CPU. Use coretemp to monitor temps .

is the heatsink meant to be fanless? if it is, then you should be ok... you need to give the CPU something to do tho, like 1337z0r said.

OK, will run Orthos and see what I get. Thanks.

Out of interest, what kind of load does Orthos replicate? i.e do the max temps you get on an Orthos test represent what your system would be exposed to during a heavy gaming session or any other CPU/RAM intensive activity, or is it not really comparable? What is a good temp range to get on an Orthos test?

Orthos will generally (if you use small FFT tests) give the MAX temps you're likely to see under normal use.

My E6300 sits at 34/35C idle @ stock using a Artic Freezing Pro 7. Im running 7x400mhz (2.8) with 45C Idle and 56C Load. Vcore = 1.25.

The Intel Thermal Analysis Tool will prolly carry it to the max. http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/392

my e6300 @2.8ghz runs 35-37C idle on stock cooler, seen it go upto 55 on load

Can i ask what case you use.
