Just got a h50 with push pull config from 2 corsair fans and my idle temps are 19degrees... and thats with white artic silver cheap paste!

going to lap my processor today and even out the temps but im well impressed, going from idle of around 40!

full load at 3.6 on a q6600 is 40 if the pc is silent and 30 if its loud!

the difference being the q6600 isn't as toasty as an i7, especially when you run an i7 @ 4GHz with HT on...

I bought a H50 despite slagging them off as it was a great price. I see high 30's, sometimes 40 deg idle on my Q6600 at 3.4GHz

Maxing out in IBT can go up to 75 deg C, which is actually higher than what I was using before (noctua NH-U12F). Granted, the VID is 1.2125, and I'm running it at 1.26, so it's generating a fair amount of heat. I'm going to change the thermal paste (currently AS5!) to something else and try moving the fans about too.

god knows what your doing for that heat as mines getting nowhere near that at 3.6 with a vcore of 1.425

I wish I knew. Temps were hot with my previous cooler too, might not be enough airflow in the case. I was also thinking maybe my AS5 has separated, it's a good 3 years old now.
