e6600 high temps (with pic)

[GreenThu)v(b]

right now im getting 58/60 idle and 70/75/76 load! using orthos to stress and tat to watch, and according the cpuz and everest my cpu core v is at 1.41v (3.4ghz)

I have a Scythe Infinity cooler with a Xilence XPF120R Red Wing on it, in an akasa eclipse with the filter taken out to improve airflow. I also have 2 raptors and 1 of them new seagate barracudas.

I have tried reseating it so many times but am getting nowhere , i really want to fix this before summer, Do any of you have any solutions?? which doesnt involve water cooling, maybe a fan controller could speed the fans up a bit??

also this is how i apply my thermal paste, I have tried loads of different ways but this seems to work the best

Stock cooler is no better, if i can remember rightly, i only lost a thew c with the infinity.

I will take the heatsink off again tommorow and give u a thew pics. Could i not just send it back to ocuk or intel and get it replaced? if it is concave that is

All the temp monitors i have report the same



what ya think??

 

[GreenThu)v(b]

alright il try that later

 

[GreenThu)v(b]

well i tried a smaller ammount of as5, still no changes.

after setting mobo at default, cpu at 1.296, idle temps are roughly 48. using tat to stress they get to 62/63 within 30 seconds

 

[GreenThu)v(b]

Is it possible the motherboard sensors are messed up? or does tat have sensers in the cpu :/

 

[GreenThu)v(b]

tried. they all give the same results. anyway iv change my cpucore v to 1.3 and have kept the OC at 400x8 (3200) with a fsb/dram ratio of 4:5, temps right now 48/50.

Its a shame as lots of people with my cpu are getting 3.6 with better temps.

I wonder if watercooling would sort this, i can see me spending 200 or so on a full watercooling setup, with no difference in temps, which would seriously f me off
