I own a pretty basic Q6600 (stock clocks) on an EVGA NF68 mobo with a 9800GTX in an Antec Sonata III case.
My temps seem to run a little high, avg 62c at idle and 64c full load. I'm concerned though I have one core that consistently runs 4 degrees hotter than the others under load. It's running around 68c.
I wouldn't think four degrees is an issue, but only happening to one core it caught my attention. Is this cause for concern?
I use the OEM HSF with the OE thermal pad. Budget is really tight right now, been through (still in) some pretty rough times these last three years. Will $5 of Artic Silver Ceramiq normalize my temps using the same OEM HSF?
Suggestions?
