q6600 temps help

Okay so I was going to try and overclock this to 3 ghz, but i decided to run orthos on stock before I started to get some heat benchmarks. before I started core 0 and 1 were at 48c and core 2 and 3 were at 44c. As soon as I started up two instances of orthos the temps jumped to 71c on core 0 and 1 and 68c on core 2 and 3. this seems like a huge jump. My idle temps seem a little high also. I have a q6600 with b3 stepping, artic cooler 7 heatsink and a gigabyte p36ds3r mobo running in a antec 900 case. Is it possible that the temp readings are wrong when I feel the air coming out the back it does not seem warm at all. Im using rmclock to check temps. Any ideas to reduce the heat will be appriciated.

I tried to remount the heatsink several diffent times. I even got the stock intel heatsink out and tried that. Stiil the best idle temps i could get were 48C on the hottesty core and 42C on the coolest. What am I doing wrong too much as5? too little? Or just a really hot cpu?

dose your case have good airflow? whats your room temp? are you using artic silver 5? if you are try to follow this guide http://www.arcticsilver.com/ins_ro [...] elas5.html and reapply it see if it helps...

your temps are definetely a little high for stock speed..

my Q6600 OC at 2.89 idle at 35-40 depends on core Full Load at 55 average and I have my voltage increase to 1.4volt as well.... im also on air cooling using zalman 9700 with artic silver 5

I am having a similiar problem at http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] nt-questio n with pictures, if you guys have any new inputs please reply here and at my thread, thanks!
