Rhoch have you got yours overclocked to 3.74 GHz? I thought when you were building yours you said you didn't plan on doing much overclocking?

My Q6600 (dual E6600) has the same temps as your OC'd dual core. If your temps where much lower, I would certainly think that my cooler was not installed properly

No, but a Q6600 gets much hotter than a dual core. So it might be good to compare a stock Q6600 with an overclocked E6*** CPU.

HAHA donkey, the reason I do that is that I have it on autofill with my browser at home but not at work. It's just a habit. Trust me I know the difference lmao.

ok, sorry then, quite a few people confuse PCI-X, PCIe & even PCI with each other, but obviously not on the occasion
