| E6600 temps Just installed a new heatsink on my E6600 and have it overclocked to 3.0. My temps are running about 45-46 at idle right now and at about 59-60 at after about an hour of prime 95. Seems kind of high to me so I reinstalled the heatsink after cleaning it up and putting on some AC MX2 compound. Temps still about the same. Should I try reinstalling it again or are those temps ok?

| Re: E6600 temps Those temps are not that bad especially since you're overclocking. Some might say they are a little bit warm but I wouldn't worry too much about it. My E8400 idles at around 44 and I'm not concerned. |

Also some cpu thermal grease needs time to settle in.

| Re: E6600 temps What program are you using to report temperature. What Tjmax setting is said program using. If Tjmax is set incorrectly reported temps will be off. Since you got the same temps after reinstalling the heatsink a 2nd time I doubt you have a problem.

|  Re: E6600 temps Tried core temp , speed fan and cpuid hardware monitor and they all read about the same. I hate to try and install the heatsink again kind of a pain in the *****!  It's an Artic Freezer 7 Pro and it is a tight fit

| Re: E6600 temps Try Realtemp: Real Temp - CPU temperature monitoring And read its installation and calibration notes for explanations of why it might be more accurate than the others for some cpu's. Regards, -- Al
