Hello

I have my q6600 oc'ed to 2.9g ghz. The average temperature with low cpu usage is about 48 degrees celcius. Is this ok?

Made a mistake in the thread, I meant oc'ed to 2.9 ghz. I corrected it. So it is this ok for this speed?

My post didnt come out. I was trying to say that it is oc'ed to as high as it will go. It is a Dell XPS 420. It has a decent sized air cooler that is stock with it. Cannot be changed.

No. If the cpu usage is low in the game, but the GPU usage is high it means the GPU is bottlenecking the system.

Which would mean you need a better GPU, not CPU.
