hi everyone,
I have a q6600 G0 cpu at 3.0GHz with idle temps(speedfan/coretemp) of 40-44C. I don't think this is normal even for a 3.0ghz oc. Just for fun, I lowered the voltage to 1.175 from stock 1.25 and the temps, if anything, went up! right now i'm typing in firefox and speedfan is reporting 43C. I tried reseating the freezer 7 pro, but to no avail. I think I might get some new thermal paste? does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to lower these temperatures?
Thanks!
