High Temps - new q6600

[Baldrick1001]

The temps seem rather high as per the pic below....Is the stock q6600 HSF not particularly good? - I do have a arctic cooler 7 - would I be better digging out my as5 and installing that instead?

Run prime to see what the full load temps are, but I would install the AC7 personaly.

I don't see any pic.

But yes, the AF7 Pro is worth installing...

Yip they seem a little high for idle (tho I had to use the Quote button to view the links).

I would certainly use an aftermarket heatsink if you have one.
