safe voltage for a Q6600 (not G0)?

Ok handbags drawn? Ten paces in the opposite direction when you've counted 10 turn and face each other.

Seriously though, I can see both points of view.

In real terms it would apear that C2Q run hotter on average than C2D.

And Tooks I can see where your coming from on this, but how else can you describe in real world terms using different terminolgy that Quads run hotter? If a Quad is putting out x2 thermal units does that not mean that it generates more heat? (not having a go) And I do understand what your saying about coolers!

Chill out *moah ha ha ha*
 
The confusion appears to be stemming from the diffence between flow of heat, and accumulation of heat.

Your all right to some extent.

Given a sufficent movement of heat away from the processor, yes you would expect to see a similar load temp. But take for example your Thermal Paste, be it AS5 or whatever. It dropped 2'c off your load temps when you installed it, thats because its now moving a slightly higher amount of heat way from the chip. It hasnt had any effect on the actual operational parameters of the chip. The chip doesnt run any hotter or colder, but it appears that way.

The same applies with the quad. You double the heat input, you are going to have to move twice the heat away from the chip. Now this is where it gets interesting. The flow of heat increases as the differential between the 2 points increases.

So while at 10'c your heatsink may me moving away 100 units of heat, at 20'c it may be able to move 150 units. Thats where the Qs appear to run hotter, they need to build a greater differential between the temperature of the chip, and the cooling potential of the cooler, before the heat flow is great enough to level out.
