I've been cooling my QX6700 with a Titan Amanda. Having read some reviews of the Titan (mainly american forums which slate them), I have to say I'm pleasently suprised.
Running the QX @ 3.4ghz with 1.35v i'm getting IDLE temps of 40-43 and LOAD (4 instances of PRIME) 66-68. Any more volts, even 0.25v resulted in a higher overclock (3.46ghz), but the temps hit mid 70's under LOAD, which doesnt really appeal to me! The heat also caused the PRIME sessions to die pretty quickly and 3dMark06 bombs out during the first CPU test.
Sweet spot on this chip under the Titan is 3.2ghz with 1.275v, IDLE temps of 40, LOAD 56-60 (Prime after 43 minutes before I got bored of watching it!)
