Q6600 overclock temps.

Yes, i know. everyone and their grandmother has a q6600 and i COULD google this. But I recently overclocked to 3.2 and my idle is 52,52,48,48 according to realtemp.

too hot?

At first, I thought "those are some pretty low load temps!", only to re-read it and see that those are IDLE temps. My Q6600 may run pretty warm (usually 35-36 degrees Celsius average between all cores on idle, load up to 60 or maybe 61 on 3.2 GHz 8x400), but those temps just don't seem right. You're not running with the stock HSF, are you? If not, does it feel warm in the computer room? (Ambient temps have a LOT of influence, of course, and you'll see some significant decreases if it feels chilly in there rather than toasty.) Also, what Vcore levels are you using? (Mine's set to something around 1.281V in the BIOS, though Vdroop naturally drops that to 1.25V idle, even lower when loaded. That will vary depending on motherboard.) Still, if you have a hard time maintaining 3.2 GHz stably, let alone 3.6 GHz, don't sweat it. Overclocking is a crapshoot at times.NamelessPlayer

Alright, so i removed the side of my case, temps are the same.

Just checked the temperature of my q6600 g0 at 3ghz with target voltage set to 1.35

i max out a 54 in stress tests usually

(before you ask, i have my window wide open, antec 300, and ther are about 15c in my room, otherwise they stay around 35)
