My G0 Q6600 hits between 30 - 38 on all cores idle and around 55 - 58 under load (prime 95)

Are these acceptable? I have all my case fans (2) set to low and my Arctic freezer pro is set to silent in the bios (think it is around 1000RPM) Should I think about raising some fan speeds?

imo in the 40s/50s aint all bad @ idle temps and anything under 65c max is good.

Mind u my Pc systems usualy have 5volt 120mm fans that barely spin:)

The folks that get in there 30s proberly have speedstep enabeled so there cpu runs like at 2ghz or something silly ;) So its an unfair test the max temps are main ones and if it can run stable at those temps too.

I have speedstep enabled; look at the pic above, the cpu was at 1.6GHz however when I ran prime 95 it never got to 60 degrees, so I guess I can leave the fans for now.

I also noticied I seem to have quite a low Vid (1.1625v) is that due to speedstep or is that constant?
