Re: [OC] Q6600 to 3Ghz tape mod OC question

And same question as Cerdan ( or close to ), Are you running the system stock heatsink and shroud set up ?
Yes, I'm running the stock heatsink with the shroud. 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 .

35c was before the mod. I haven't installed the new heatsink yet.

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:

My core #3 is always a few degrees cooler than the other 3 cores. Core #3 at idle is around 30 degrees. Is this normal?

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 .

Just installed the heatsink. It doesn't make much difference. Idle is still around 35 degrees.

BTW, how long does it take for Arctic Silver 3 to settle? The temp doesn't seem to be very stable right now at idle.
