e6600 high temps (with pic)

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

or you could sell that chip, and buy one and hope it isnt concave

if that is the reason you are getting high temps, i do not know

I find this outrageous that intel are making concave cpu's
if i get one i will not be a happy bunny.

Even if it's not concave, I'm sure there'll be something else that won't please you :p

That is WAY too much AS5. Clean it well and put one small blob the size of a grain of rice in the middle, thats all you need. Remember the parts which get hot are in the middle not the outside.

You need this much paste:

Can I disagree? That's exactly how much AS5 is recommended for Core2Duos. They recommend that amount precisely because they quite often have dished IHS's and the extra TIM 'mortars' in the gap - which is usually only a fraction of a mm. Once the TIM has cured (after about 200 hours) it's supposed to be as good as metal to metal contact. One huge problem is that people see the high temperature and freak out and try and reseat the cooler, which stops the TIM curing and so it goes on.

Now, if he laps the CPU, then sure, he only needs a tiny amount of TIM spread thinly across the whole surface of the IHS. Not spreading it out across the whole IHS means that the contact surface area between the cooler and the cores is reduced significantly and that is a bad thing, no?

Core2Duos are not AMD 64's and unfortunately too many people are still coming over to Intel systems from AMD systems and not realising that they are a whole new bundle of issues. They still run hotter than AMD's despite all the initial hoo-hah about how cool they ran. They run very cool compared to Prescott's and Preslers, but they still tend to run hot compared to AMD's. The new ones seem to be running hotter than the early ones too.

You get good chips and bad chips and some of the bad chips have poor contact between the cores and the IHS. They run inside Thermal Specification so they are sold as working CPUs. The fact that they overclock poorly and run hot doesn't bother Intel or the retailers that sell them.

This looks like a 'hot' chip. The best bet in my opinion is to put a lot of AS5 on the chip, put the cooler on and leave it the 200 hours with 15 or 20 thermal cycles to let the TIM cure. If it's still hot, then it may well be time to lap it to improve issues, but that then invalidates any warranty and potentially reduces it's resale value.

After lapping my CPU I put on the normal line of AS5, and it was still running @ 50'c or so. So I cleaned it off and put on as thin layer as possible, and my temps dropped to 40'c idle..! So for me at least, putting on tiny amouts of thermal paste worked best.
 
don't forget to "squeaze and twist" the heatsink when you put it on, to spread the AS5 a bit around and make a better "fit".

I'm sure there is some some difference between these two points of view, but I'm beggared if I can see it.
