Idle temps

Jody · 19 Jan 2008 at 18:46

ive clocked my q6600 to 3.2ghz and all seems stable i'm just a little concerned about the temps:

At Idle-core:

0:40c
1:37c
2:37c
3:40c

Under prime they hit around 62c-59c-59c-62c

Is it a factor that ive only just fitted my Turniq tower with As5?

What are normal temps idle/prime?

My Q6600 is clocked at 3.3GHz with 1.325v and while idling the cores are currently at 38C, 34C, 33C and 33C.

I wouldn't worry too much about the idle temps and your load temps seem fine for air cooling! Mine hit about 50C under load but I have watercooling.. What voltage are you using to get 3.2GHz and is it the energy efficient version?

1.2875v and yes energy efficient GO version

Ive read that it takes the AS5 time to work properly and give better reduction in temps, is this true? am i to expect lower temps?

Thanks Street, ive just altered some settings in speedfan and now I have my temps at 38,38,35,35 idle with my turniq fan at 1350rpm and case fans around 1100rpm so quite happy with cold feet :]

I wouldnt worry about those temps, i have the same overclock and tuniq too and mine idles around 36 to 39 on the cores

what are your fan speeds though?
