I purchased my Q9650 CPU earlier this month and I had it cooled with my CoolIT Freezone Elite MTEC Liquid CPU Cooler. But I immediately noticed that the temperature of my CPU at idle was kind of high. I had a Q6600 CPU overclocked at 3.40GHz before and it too was cooled by my CoolIT Freezone Elite MTEC Liquid CPU Cooler. But the idle temperature before with the Q6600 was around 23 degrees celcius and around 55 degrees celcius at full load with my 3.40GHz overclock. Now with my new Q9650 CPU and my Freezone Elite, temperature at idle would be around 40 degrees celcius and over 80 degrees celcius at full load with the Q9650 overclocked to 4.0GHz. So I contacted CoolIT Systems, and now they're going to RMA my unit. So for the mean time, I installed the stock Q9650 Heatsink Fan and downclocked my Q9650 to stock at 3.0GHz. But the temperature at idle would be around 55 degrees celcius and over 90 degrees celcius at full load. I thought that the Q9650 doesn't get as hot as a stock Q6600 because it's a 45nm CPU compared to my Q6600. Are these normal temperatures for a stock Q9650 CPU with the stock heatsink fan installed or is the problem with my CoolIT Freezone Elite MTEC Liquid CPU Cooler?
