Just got my Q6600 up and running, cooled by an Ultra 120 Extreme and a low cfm Delta fan. At 2.6Ghz full load, Core temp shows 84c/83c/78c/79c for the 4 cores while Easy Tune shows 61c

Yup, it's a B3.

The tjunction temp is 100c.

I'm at 2.8Gghz right now, highest coretemp is 90c while eazy tune shows 70c. I've reinstalled the heatsink already. The weird thing is that when I touched the lower part of the heatsink while under full load, it's not even warm!

Still too lazy to install my Prommy

I've tried reinstalling it already, the outline on the base of the heatsink shows that there's proper contact. I'm currently using the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, turned the screws all the way down already. Will do it again tomorrow. Might also try using the stock heatsink for comparison.

Where are you guys getting the G0s?

Got myself a G0 earlier today, installed it already. Core Temp and Easy Tune now shows the same temp

Gonna do some overclocking now, see if it's any better than my B3

**EDIT**

Scrap that, saw the temps wrongly. There's still a 10c difference between the two, it's just that the numbers are lower compared to B3

At 3Ghz, core temp shows idle around 45c and full load around 55c

This will be my 24/7 Folding settings

1.475v in bios if I'm not mistaken. Lazy to play around with the ram so I just put it at auto

After reading what the other G0s can do at XS, I've increasing the speed summore. Now at 3.55Ghz 1.525v, will keep on increasing them until I hit 70c

Q6600 Update: Currently stable at 3.6Ghz with 1.625v in bios, temp hovering around 70c

At stock speed the E6850 has an edge in gaming but when overclocking comes into play I believe the difference is negligeable and barely noticeable. Check out my results, I'm using Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme with a low noise Thermaltake fan

I'm using P35. When one of the cores fail in Prime95, the icon will turn red.

For me 70c is a number that I'm comfortable with running 24/7. Have done that with my previous processors as well. Running it at such high temp might reduce its lifespan but nowadays the processor will get obsolete first before dying

This is my first Intel processor in years. My previous processor was an AMD Opteron 165.

I'm using the Gigabyte P35 DS3.
