It's the old style big aluminum block heatsink. Dell just sent me another one with copper pipes and fins. The surface area is much larger. So I'm wondering if I should bother taking my workstation apart just to change the heatsink if the old heatsink is keeping the Q6600 cool enough already at around 35 degrees idle. |

| 35c sound good enough to me . Is that before or after the mod ?
May I ask why DELL sent you a new heatsink ?
Just out curiosity can you take a picture of the new heatsink the sent out and upload here ? I'd like to see it .

I just told Dell my PC is running hotter than my liking. They said there's a newer version available and sent it to me to replace my old one. It looks like this without the shroud:

| Thanks for the link , I like the way that looks .
About the one core being cooler than the others . I would say it's normal . Most of the duals and quads I've looked at one side/core runs coolers than the other . Also DELL's temp. readings have never been that accurate .
If you got it use it ,try out that new heatsink and tell us if made any difference . And I imagine it will .

[/BQUOTE :Just installed the heatsink. It doesn't make much difference. Idle is still around 35 degrees. |
