what are your ambient temps? How long did you leave prime 95 running? What are you using to monitor temps. you temps seem way off. to high at idle and too low at full speed.depending on what he's using his hellish temperatures could be explained by that though, if his dts sensors aren't calibrated, which it defintely looks like to me. They aren't high by any means but still way out of whack.
I have no idea why the guy above said to apply more thermal paste and reseating when he has no idea how much he already has on there, putting too much on can cause heat to go up up up.

ice_killer,
You already have a high-end cooler - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
When a Q6600 G0 is running stock settings at 2.4 Ghz with normal ambient temperature, and shows high idle temperatures, it typically indicates poor case airflow and / or low fan RPM and / or SETI or Folding running in the background.
A properly calibrated Q6600 G0 idles at 16 Watts with stock settings, so with a high-end cooler and 22c Standard Ambient (71.6F), case covers removed, all fans at 100% RPM and 0% CPU activity in Task Manager for 10 minutes, your idle temperatures should be as follows:
CPU = 25c
Cores = 29c
Regardless, load temperatures are critical, so don't get stuck on idle temperatures. Be certain that you run Prime95 Small FFT's, which provides a steady-state 100% workload with the highest temperatures, unlike Blend, which is a cyclic workload with fluctuating temperatures.
A test duration of 10 minutes is adequate, since 97% thermal saturation is typically reached within 7 to 8 minutes. Test durations which exceed 10 minutes may only yield a temperature increase of 1c on heavily overclocked systems.
Intel's Thermal Specifications for the Q6600 G0 is 71c, which is maximum CPU temperature (Tcase Max), NOT maximum Core temperature (Tjunction Max). The specs are shown in the Processor Spec Finder: http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA...
Since Core temperatures are 5c higher than CPU temperature, the corresponding Core temperature is 76c, regardless of the fact that Tjunction Max is 100c, which is shutdown temperature, and is far too hot for sane operation.
The 5c relationship between CPU temperature and Core temperature is shown in the following Intel document: http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0709/0709.1861.pdf
For the Q6600 G0, CPU temperatures which exceed 71c and Core temperatures which exceed 76c should be considered an "overtemp" condition.
For detailed information regarding processor temperatures, check out the Core i7 and Core 2 Temperature Guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-core-t...
From the Guide:
Scale 3: Quad
Q9x50: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping E0, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q9x50: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping C1, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q9400: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping R0, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q9300: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping M1, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q8x00: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping R0, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q8200: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping M1, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q6x00: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping G0, TDP 95W, Idle 16W<--Q6600 G0
-Tcase/Tjunction-

--65--/--70--70--70--70-- Warm
--60--/--65--65--65--65--Safe <--

Temperatures are rarely an issue for processors running at stock settings, even with Intel's stock cooler. As you can see, your temperatures are well within Intel's Thermal Specifications, so relax and enjoy your rig!

ambient temp 16 degrees celcius, i have artic silver 5 (ive askd the shop to mount it, so im pretty sure to say that its mounted properly)
ive used coretemp and realtemp both say the say temps, i did a small FFt for 1 hour,
i have a Cosmos S whit 1 intake (120*120 in front, 1 120*120 on the bottem and 1 200*200 fan on the side as in take
then i have 3 fans on the top as out take, 1 on the back as outtake, and 1 cooler on the bottem of the cooler that blows air to the top (makes sense right ? hot air goes up )

Manually set Vcore in BIOS to 1.1000, then report CPU-Z Core Voltage and Core Temperatures at idle. Use Real Temp 3.00 - http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/

Thanks. Next, restore Vcore to default Auto settings in BIOS, then run Prime95 Small FFT's. At 10 minutes when your load temperatures have stabilized, put a few pounds of downward pressure toward the motherboard on each individual corner of the CPU cooler, while observing the temperatures. Maintain pressure for about 30 seconds per corner.
If the cooler is properly and securely installed, then there should be no changes in temperature. Please report your findings, as well as Core Voltage, Core Speed, Multiplier and Bus Speed in CPU-Z.
These steps may seem cumbersome, but understand that it's necessary to first verify basic hardware integrity prior to attempting calibrations, so that you don't miscalibrate your temperatures.
