Cooler, Cpu, Ambient Temperature Thread

Alright, since we dont really have a thread like this as far as i know, i decided to create one. Basically, this is how it will work:
1. Post your Heatsink+Fan,Ambient Temperature(Celcius preferred), CPU, Overclock and voltage, and your reported cpu temperatures in order of core number.
Then, on the nest line, post your idle, line after that load temperatures by core number.
For example(I am making up voltages, temperatures, etc for this one)
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme with Yate Loon 120x120x25mm High Speed, Arctic Silver 5, 22C Ambient, Q6600, 3.2Ghz @ 1.35vcore
Idle: #0: 42c #1: 42c #2: 38c #3: 38c
Load: #0: 62c #1: 61c #2: 57c #3: 58c

2.Measuring Software:
Temperatures will be recorded with everest.
CPU Voltage recorded through the CPU-Z readout.
Overclocks must be at minimum 1hr Prime95 Stable

3. At end of post, post this information if you know it:
Batch Number
Stepping
Motherboard
Memory Speed

I will then maintain a list of results by Cooler, with a section for AMD cpu's, and a section for Intel CPU's.

If you have results from multiple fans, thermal interface materials, etc, be sure to post them. This is to help people decide what thermal interface materials and fans work best with certain heatsinks.

:P

Reason being, everest will keep a level playing field, some people may have older versions of say, coretemp that has a 90c tJmax, while someone else has one that is set to 100c, etc.

Batch Number- Unknown, for now.

Do you need screenshots? Btw, I'll probably post again in a week or so as I just lapped my heatsink, so the thermal paste hasn't set in yet.

Batch number would be on the box of an intel cpu, some batches overclock better than others, etc. Stepping would be found under "revision" on cpu-z. Adding results now. Screenshots arent required, just post actual information as this is to try to help people choose fans/heatsinks/TIM/etc.

Eventually, these will be organized into a spreadsheet of some kind, or maybe using some kind of google apps sort of thing once i get some extra time.

Added stepping. Also, you said intel processors have it on the box, I'm assuming AMD does the same thing?
 
I think there should be another attribute added, whether your heatsink/cpu is lapped or not.

Considering I just lapped my heatsink and the temps dropped 3C on idle and 6C on max, that way people won't be confused when they get the same setup as someone and get higher temps they'll know why.
 
Intel E6750 @ 3.2GHz
1.47 V

Cooler Master Hyper TX HS+fan, lapped
Cheap thermal paste from my local computer shop :P

18 degree ambient

Ambient Core 0:46 degrees
Ambient Core 1:47 degrees

Load Core 0: 52
Load Core 1:52

stepping: B
mobo: Asus P5N-E SLI
Memory speed: 800MHz

=EDIT=

Just went and read all of the posts, and i know my layout is a bit off, but it is understandable so i aint changing it now, but i see i did a little wrong :P
 
Update
(Not Lapped) Prolimatech Megahalem with Yate Loon 120x120x25mm 1600RPM (Push/Pull), Arctic Silver 5, 21C Ambient, Phenom II 940 BE, 3.6Ghz @ 1.344vcore
Idle: #0: 36c #1: 36c #2: 36c #3: 36c
Load: #0: 48c #1: 48c #2: 48c #3: 48c

Batch Number- Forgot to check :mad:
Stepping- 2
Motherboard- MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX
Memory Speed- 960MHz

So only differences, changed my cooler to a megahalem and upped my OC by 0.1GHz and upped my vcore by 0.040

Would love to see more people contributing to this. :)
 
Dark Knight 120 Push Pull, Arctic Silver 5, 28C Ambient, Q9450, 3.6Ghz @ 1.30vcore

Load: #0: 60c #1: 61c #2: 57c #3: 59c

Cant complain about the temps considered computer in is my reptile room that stays 80-82F all year long. Teps should drop a little bit with new HAF 922 case once i get it.
