Q6600 Temps

[Shocky-FM]

Theres a quite a large temp difference between the cores, both idle and load,

36/38/44/45 idle and 66/62/61/67 load

It's with a Zalman CNPS9700, is it worth remounting? also what's best to use, I have some tubes of Zalman STG1, AC MX-1, AS5 and Ceramique, first application was with STG1, which is better ?

Well I'm sure I've heard that MX1 and AS5 are about the same. I had the MX-1 on my old Freezer Pro and got told to not even bother changing it over with the AS5. I'd go with either AS5 or MX-1.

My friend in Holland is using the 9700 for his AM2 CPU that he bought last year sometime. Don't you think you should get the Ultra or the TT?. I'm only cooling dual core under my TT but would be a lot happier with a better cooler for quad.

Are the Ultra and TT that much better? I might pick one up next week if there worth it.

What kind of temp difference would they make over a CNPS9700

I don't suppose anyone has tried a 9700 and Ultra/TT with with a Q6600 and can share results?
