What are you using to cool your Q6600 and what kind of temps are you seeing while overclocking ? I'm looking at buying a quad either the Q9450 or one of these ( Q6600 or Q6700 ) on April 20th when prices drop. I'm mainly looking at say an overclock of 3.4 to 3.6 with either on air cooling. I currently use a Zalman 9700 at the moment. What's your opinion on the cooling and price vs performance of these quads? Thanks for any advice.

yea, PM him. find a post by im and click on his name. :D
 
Sorry guys thought it would be easier this way and I didn't know that he got rid of his computer. Any one else that has a Q6600 care to advise?
 
I was using an Apogee GTX, which was part of my custom water cooling setup. IIRC I was getting temps in the high 20's to low 30's idle, and mid to high 40's under load when I had the Q6600 @ 3.8GHz.

Thanks OMEGA, I thought maybe you were using air and I could get some comparison to it cause I'll be on air . Thanks for the reply.
 
i run a q6600 at 3.15ghz on stock volts and 30c idle 35 - 40c under load, All on air cooling ultima-90 HSF
 
yeah forget ask jeeves

ask omega LOL.

umm i got a question on the q6600 if its not overclocked what temp is it originally with a nice cpu fan on it without a stock fan but like a good fan that you would recommend that keeps it cool at stock speeds?

It's hard to say since it depends on the cooler and what the ambient temp is. I'd say the most ideal would be 20-30C idle, and 35-45C load, although you are perfectly fine even if the CPU reaches 60C load.
