So, finally I moved my system to a CoolerMaster HAF X, along with a Mugen 3.
For the time, it idles at 76C (distance to Tjmax) and goes to 53C (distance again) at full load (ambient 18C).
Much better...

Thanks Coolest for pointing me to the right direction.

That's reassuring. In the meantime, I did some googling on the Tj issue. I realise that, besides all the debate on Intel published Tjmax, the important thing is the reported distance from Tjmax, as you previously stated . BTW, Intel product spec pages currently give a Tcase=62.2C, while everywhere e...

Sorry, I was not clear.
Yes, it is full load under Prime95-"Small FFT" (I think this is the hotter Prime95 torture test).
It worries me because I have read in various places that it is better to max at or below 62C.

ok...
I rechecked my overclock with the default Tjmax (in CorTemp which is 100C).
Max temp is 74C (ambient 17-18C, Zalman aircooling).

1. Does this seem ok (safe) ?
2. [Gigabyte] where I could find the Intel released Tjamx ?

Thanx Coolest.
Do these temps make sense for a q6700 at 10*330 (Vcore 1.3625) or is it on the high side?

That is Tjmax=100C ?
With this I get 10C more than in Speefan (Core Temp reads 33-43 at idle).
Which is closer to truth?

What would be the correct Tjmax for a Q6700 G0?
