Basically with the noctua 92 mm version with my quad core at 2.7ghz (stock voltage) im hitting probably around 70 in games. Some people think this is high others think its acceptable. Using TAT and loading up the cpu one cores hitting almost 80c with the other a few degrees behind it. :eek:

Is this just "part and parcel" of quad core or are those temps slightly dodgy?
 
In fact reading what you said again it looks more than a little high for stock voltages ( i just ran tat with 1.52v and it just about hit 80) have you reseated it more than once?, i am going to try and take the clip that holds the cpu in place off like some people have mentioned in other posts to see if it improves temps at all although mine aint so bad.
 
Mines idling around the 50oC mark and under Orthos it goes up to 77oC.

Ive tried everything to get the temperature down and i cant get it lower than around 50oC.

I cant believe some people on here have supposedly temeratures of 25-30oC on a Q6600...

I never had mine that low even with my E6400 running at stock...

Im not sure if I many have a faulty sensor on my chip. I might rma it and take it back to OCUK.

Thanks
 
Uninstalled mine to check how good of a contact it was making, the compound indicates a perfect seating, no empty spots or missed spots pretty much a perfect square. :confused:

I thought this noctua cooler was meant to be good for cooling quads, from what im seeing its not the case.
 
Doubt a slightly bigger cooler would make much difference. At the minute im loading at about 70c in games like quakewars and the graw2 demo. :o
