Intel q6600 go temp help please

[Sxx]

Hello guys and ladies.
This is my first ever pc { sad i know } i got it for my 16th birthday,

i was running the stock cooler that came with my q6600, then my dad bought me a akasa AK 955 HEAt sink and fan...

my friend in school gave me this program because before i was having trouble freezing then when i got my new cooler it was great now, but when he saw my temps he said my chip is to hot. I am scared to play games on it for more than 30minutes. I have not overclocked my chip and plan not to.. he said my tjmax i should set at 110 ???...............

please help me please

[DrPepper]

Temps look fine.

[Sxx]

so i am safe to play games then. ????

do i have to set mt tjmax to 110 to be safe please

thank you benjamin

TJmax is the hottest your cpu will get before it starts to throttle itself or is damaged. You can't set your TJmax it's a set value. My max temperature for a q6600 is 80degree's even though the TJMax is 110 degrees.

[a_ump]

Those temps are fine. The q6600 can run up to 71.6 degrees celcius, so roughly 72 degrees. Even then i've ran mine plenty above that, in the 80's when i was seeing how far i could overclock. TJmax value really isn't that important, its just used by an application to tell you how far you are from reaching your limits, but the q6600's should be 100 according to the author of the application "Realtemp".

thank you all for your replys.

i never knew anything it was just my friend telling my dad my pc is getting to hot and i shouldn`t use it... i am only allowed to keep it on for 30minutes then he makes me turn it off,

Thank you benjamin

Nah it's definately fine at those temps.

[Sxx]

thank you all when my dad gets in i will make him read all your replys and maybe he will let me use it more thank you soo much my friend is a idiot now ^.^
i also noticed why does sometime each number on the cores are different??

what is a good cooler not expensive one remember i only do a paper round and get £15 a week..

[a_ump]

your friend is probly going by the old rule of thumb, "keep your CPU under 60 degree". which there's nothing wrong with that but there's no reason to turn off your computer when your around that area lol. most enthusiasts quit using that rule once Intel started releasing specific details for their CPU's. I personally "like to keep a CPU under 60 degrees" but if it goes over its no reason to panic.

Click this and show your dad if he argue's with you about it. its the official Intel Specification's for your q6600 and its limits.

save up and try get something like a thermalright Ultra 120 extreme. I had that for my Q6600 and it was amazing.

Jesus Dr. Pepper, lol don't break his bank, he's only on stock remember. Xigmatek s1283 is fine for my q6600@ 3.4ghz, 1.39v. and its a good bit cheaper than a TRUE, though not quite as good, but most def good enough for stock clocks. Plus it'll be good enough incase he decides to overclock in the future, but won't break the bank for nothing if he doesn't.

I guess since he isn't oc'ing then that might have been a bit extreme. I remember I got mine for £25 though not sure how much they cost now.

[mosheen]

get a coolermaster 212 plus, should be cheap.

[Sxx]

Xigmatek's Dark Knight S1283

my dad purchased it for me online i have to pay him off £6 a week ^.^

we bought it new for £22 and £2 postage..

and thank you all for all your help i now can play as much as i want to now ^.^

i`m really excited about getting this cooler now

my motherboard is asus p5q deluxe hope it fits it well and we have a antec 900 case.. will out power supply tagan 1000w be enough still we have 2x 4870x2, 8gig corsair ddr2 ram, 128gb ssd hdd

Hello Guys

we bought this thermal paste this morning is it ok to use with our black knight hdt1283

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Paste Non Silver formula 4g

[brandonwh64]

MX-2 is a good paste! you shouldn't have any issues

[neoreif]

Yup! MX-2 is a good thermal paste to apply! Would keep your temps low with that Xigmatek cooler! Just remember to seat the cooler properly and spread the paste evenly and your good to go!

BTW, hang around the forum and I guarantee you that you'd learn more than Temps, paste and coolers! Welcome to TPU too!

[Sxx]

Thank you all ever so much, i will stay around.. might not post alot because i don`t know really anything about computers liek you guys... i am good with bmx`s though

thank you once again benjamin

Here is my results with that xigmatek 1283v black knight,

Me and my dad had lots of fun installing this it was funny.. he got a black eye now the xigmatek fell of the desk while he was unplugging the pc and hit him in the face

Looking good ...now run a bench test like 3Dmark vantage and see what your temps are under load.

[Bo$$]

dude i have a Q6600 @ 3000MHZ with akasa AK-965 Heatsink im getting around 48 degrees using MX-2 paste and have using OCCT for 40mins never goes above 48C. try dropping your voltage, as my brothers Q6600 with the same setup had a CPU voltage of 1.18V which allowed it to run at 40C full load, with less voltage less heat is produced, at the cost of stability as you are not interested in overclocking this should not matter,just a case of lowering it to 1.2V or 1.22V to lower your temps more, your temps werent really worrying to begin with.

temps while running 3dmark vantage





temps running prime95 small fft.

plus i have overclocked my cpu now it is 3.0mhzs i read it on here how to do it

Thank you all ever so much and my dad calum said thank you also

for taking the time to help me thank you

[p_o_s_pc]

Nice temps. welcome to TPU. If you stick around you will be dreaming of a i7 980x@4+ghz and Watercooling along with watercooled 5970's
