I have dropped the temps a little since these snapshots were taken.

My house is set to 72-74 F year round.

Here is the fan situation.
I have a Thermaltake Armor:
2 92 mm Thermaltake 56 CFM Blowing Air Out
1 120mm Silverstone FN121 53 CFM Blowing Out Exhaust
1 120mm Silverstone FM121 110 CFM Sucking Air in the Front
1 25cm Thermaltake 60 CFM Sucking Air in the Side
1 Stock Tuniq Tower Fan in the Tuniq Tower, I think it does 50-60CFM

What else could I do to lower temps?

I am also considering selling this E6600 and getting a Xeon 3060, how do those overclock compared to E6600's?

Should I try to take it to 3.6 ghz?

What is the maximum temps that I should absolutely not go over?

Your temps are not bad, i wouldnt push it further.. how is the airflow in your case? Do you have alot of wires preventing proper airflow? Your temps are alittle higher than mine under load and im at 3.6 so give it a shot.

Is there a way that I can tell my stock tuniq fan is running at full speed?

Do you have it plugged into a fan header on the mobo that monitors rpm's? If so, then check the rpm's it is turning; they should be somewhere around 2000 rpm or so. Also, turn off any fan speed control in bios and make the fans run at 100% all the time.

What would fan speed control settings look like?

Asus Q Fan?

 

[JimmyG]

Yes, disable it.

 

[mawsoccer]

Well, I never did enable it, so I dont need to disable it.

Any other settings to look at?
