I have had the Q6600 for a few weeks now and had it from stock 2.4 GHz to 3.4 GHz on air (Arctic Pro 7). Its currently at 3.00 GHz and temperatures as below (idle):

First question is, what monitoring software to belive / Trust the most ??

I would assume TAT as it is Intel's own (and Core temp is pretty similar) Speedfan I dont have much experience with and wouldnt really believe the Asus Probe temps TBH - your thoughts would be much appreciated.

And secondly, what are the normal / safe operating idle temps for a Q6600 ?

Again any advice would be much appreciated

Cheers

Thanks guys - Core Temp or TAT it is then. I have taken it back to 3.2 and dropped the CPU voltage to 1.3250 and the temps have dropped to high 30s to mid 40s idling :)
