Is this right?

Why at 60 max load? The throlling for a quad core is 85 and i beleive the cd2 75.

The difference between 60 and 70 in performance reduction due to heat is nothing. The difference between 60 and 70 in performance gain from extra mhz could be significant.

But each to their own. Youll probly hit a FBS barrier first as i dont beleive many even get their C2ds that hot unless you have bad cooling.

I have a Core 2 Duo E6600 in a Thermaltake Armour Jr. Under a Thermaltake Big Typhoon (I'm not a TT fan, it's just coincidence I have both). Anyway, the chips running 3420Mhz at 1.475V, peak of around 67*C, Idling at 46*C now.

Although I go over 65*C myself, I don't like to recommended more to others.
 
OK managed to overclocked to 9x333 that is around 3Ghz. Everything seemed to go fine and it all seems nice and fast, even managed to get a 5.9 vista score although I know that means very little. ;)

My temps in Core Temp is 55c is that too high?

Speedfan & uGuru report my temps at 40c and when stress testing hit about 54c which temp readings should I trust?
 
It's not too bad for an overclocked Q6600 on air.

But your loads temps are more important. Try to keep those below 75c.

Ok, I was worred for a min. At present I am using an artic 7 pro would upgrading to a Tuniq Tower help improve things or not worth it.

Also I did a stress test and it peaked at around 68c.
 
The AC7 Pro isn't exactly well known for its quad cooling.

Check your temps again later tonight if your house heats up in the evening. If they stay under 75c under load then you'll be fine with the AC7 Pro.

But if you're wishing to clock the Q6600 further and with more voltage then you'll need to upgrade the cooler.

OK Cheers.

Any recommendations for a new CPU cooler? I would prefer one with the same type of connection has on the AC7 Pro?

EDIT: I won't be overclocking it anymore happy at where it's at, but if I can improve temps I would be more happier with it.
 
A Stacker?

You may need to remove one of the fans from the door (if you have a fan positioned opposite the CPU area). Tho I've never actually worked with a Stacker myself. You'd be better taking a look through he case forum, tho search is disabled and it's a PITA.

Does abit of checking looks like it will fit but have to remove the door fan next too the CPU.

Just want to confirm how to fasten the tuniq tower is it those push and turn connections like on the Artic Pro 7. I don't really want to have to remove the motherboard to connect it.
 
Yip it's a backplate.

I think the Scythes are the only ones that use the push pins.
 
the Tuniq tower is amazing and only losses to the ultra 120 extreme by a few degrees in tests ive seen done against like 20 differnt coolers. I strongly suggest it and its worth taking the mobo off
