Okay, so I wanted to overclock but my computer is just too warm right now so I want to fix this problem.
I have a Zalman 7500 currently for my heatsink of my Q6600 processor. It was running at like 50-60 idle! Maybe just under 40 on rare occasion. So I took off the heatsink and gave it a good clean (it was horrid!) and reapplied the thermal paste. Now I have it all back together and as I type this I have a temp of 82!!!! So Im going to finish this then stop. I guess my thermal isnt enough or something?
