Max and good are slightly different. I think the max from intel (that they recommend, not that it blows up!) is around 74 degrees C, but I like to keep things lower than 65 deg C if I can. The E6700 shouldn't need too much cooling to do that.
Why do you ask, are you overclocking?

Hi thanks for replying.No well not atmo as my mobo keeps saying overclock failed with just setting ram at right timmings?I did on my 680i had it at 3.5mhz temps where between 50-o0 if i remember? On this board probe giving me 33 idlish and seen upto 48? when ive checked quick from game.
Is there a programme that will log temps etc so can see to check? anyway thanks for your info

What motherboard do you have now? Unless it's desperately awful, it should be able to run the RAM (if it's supported) at the right timings, it may need some tinkering in the BIOS to accomplish this. More information is needed to help you.
You can monitor your CPU temperatures with CoreTemp. It will show you the highest, lowest and current temperatures for your CPU from when you open it up onwards. You could leave it running whilst you game, or if you really want to find out how hot the CPU can get, use IntelBurnTest. I haven't linked it as I don't think it's necessary at this point, and it has to be used with much caution if you don't have sufficient cooling. The computer will shut down before it damages itself though, the CPU and motherboard can detect this and act accordingly.

I like to keep Intel Core 2 Temps Below about 50*C At idle, My max load temp would be 65*C
Hi guys many thanks for replies.just been gaming and using asus probe2.
Ive desktopped it using windows key while its running and it was showing 50 deg then drops back quite quickly to around low 40's then say 5 min it will drop to mid/high 30's. Is that ok/normal would you say? I guess it could go to mid 50's on full usage.
The other thing i was wondering about is if the water block is seated correctly ie compound as dont think he put new poo on cpu when they put mobo in?
It does go from idle temp to say 5 deg more soon as you do something.
My mobo is the formula rampage 775 DDR2.been using Crucial ballistix 1066mhz.
Ive just changed it tonight for 4x 1gb of Patriot 6400 LLK

It could be it's not seated fully... I guess you could take it off and reapply... the temps don't seem awful though...
BTW your signature is a line over the 4 lines max, just saying incase mods say hi

Below 80 degree load temps on the hottest of summer days and your "ok", if you can keep it cooler without your PC sounding like a leaf blower then thats great, but you dont really have to panic about the temps.
One feature of coretemp that I like is the option to show the distancs from tjmax instead of the guestimated temperature. Once the cpu hits tjmax it will throttle the clock speeds right down to protect the processor anyway. I like to keep cpus at least 15 degrees short of tjmax on a hot summers day.

Hi thanks for that guys.one of the reasons i was wondering about was to see if it's throttling it back as getting too hot as part of the root of my problem i'm having with pc?
But if thats ok it won't be that?
Not much else i can change in dam thing?
point taken regards sig!
