You bought a very mediocre cooler I'm afraid. 60 degrees is just way too much for a cooler that size. I got 70 on my E6750 with a stock cooler and thermal paste completely worn off.

I dont know about the i7. I'm comparing a Q6600 with a E6750 which are similar in thermal standards. My load temp @ 3.3Ghz is 52-53. I'm pretty sure even if I take it to 3.6 it wont go into the 60s. And my idle temp is 31 degrees

Its not about the size of cooler. Venomous X is way smaller than NH-D14 and gives only 0.5C to 1C higher temperatures.

Megahelms is one of the best coolers.

It must be mounting method or something. I think he is applying too much paste.

How can you compare a quad with a dual core?
I know they are both 65nm but still, they are way different if we talk about the heat they produce.
and Q6600 is notorious for the heat it produces.

Looks good to me, give it 200hrs runtime or around a week to set in.
For our weather, and the chip oc'd the results look fine to me. Anything under 70c for an oc'd chip is good enough in my opinion

LOL i'm not fighting or anything. I'm just a little vary of the temps of the Q6600. Maybe Blade can tell us more. He has a Q6600 with a Z600

Btw i dont really believe on every gora review what ever the product they have to review usually outperforms against other product
when i was buying hyper212plus i saw some reviews it was outprforming than v8 with singl fan setup and in some reviews it was just fine
so dont really rely some much on reviewes results as they have different ambients and depends on case air flow etc

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
