Is that measured with TAT, because with 1.4725V, I would expect watercooling to get those kind of temps for real. Unless your room's like 10degrees ambient temp.

Wow, great temps.

I think I need to replace my AC7Pro with a tuniq tower. At 3.6ghz I get 33C idle, 70C load in TAT's stress test.

Is it easy to twist the thumb screws to lock the tuniq tower into place whilst the motherboard is in the case?

i had a week 23a conroe and the temps were much higher around 49idle 65-70load

using the same setup

no not in my case i have to remove the motherboard

So if you want to remove/install the tuniq tower you always have to remove the motherboard from the case?

No twist fit with Tuniq, it has it own custom bracket top and bottom for lga 775 I guess it has to do with the weight of the Tuniq tower 900Ggrams+

Those temperatures do sound suspiciously low, but you may well have the one properly made one, that has a flat IHS and good contact between the cores and IHS. It's nice to see someone posting with a good news story rather than "My E6x00 idles too hot- Intel are carp".

I'm running a test suite of overclocked Week 28A E6600's (3.3-3.4GHz) and they idle at 38-40C with AC Freezer Pro's and they get up to just shy of 60C under load.

I do think though, that temperatures are more influenced by the installation of the CPU cooler than the CPU cooler itself. I see a lot of PCs with badly fitted heat sinks.
