My System Config:
I have assembled my PC with Q6600 (at stock speed) and GA-EP35C-DS3R board.
Artic Freezer Pro 7 HSU and Arctic Silver 5 compound.
Antec Sonata III 500 Case.
Issue:
Recently I have noticed (via speedfan) that my CPU is running very hot. The CPU core is running between 55C-59C idle while the system temperature is around 44C. I had setup bios to shut down CPU if it goes above 60C. Ambient temperature is around 22-25C.
Is this normal for CPU cores to run at 59C?
How can I cool the system in order to Overclock in future?
Your advice is very appreciated.
