The heatsink is applied correctly and I put a small dab of artic silver 5 on the processor and then seated the heatsink so I think the TIM is applied correctly. Anyways, I came back to the computer after running prime for an hour, and the temps went from 67c to 60c. I then overclocked even furhter to 3.2 (400x8), raised voltage and my prime temps are now 68c.
Q6XXX cpus TIM is properly applied in two stripes on the CPU.
The fact that temps went from 67-60C makes me think, TEC kicked in? Check your control box and see if you can set it to turn on at 50C or so.
I have heard about 10 different ways that are supposed to be "the way" to apply TIM to a q6600
I have overclocked my q6600 to 3ghz(333x9) on a maximus formula X38 board with the voltage set to 1.344. (It has a high vid of 1.325). My ultra chiltec is only keeping it at 65-67c. It doesn't work like its supposed to...any ideas why?
