Just few days back i had installed a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 in order to replace my "old" E6750 CPU. I would like to overclock my CPU to at LEAST 3.2GHz. I am also using a Schythe Katana 2 heatsink and Noctua thermal paste. On the old CPU, using Everest I would get about 35 C as idle temperature and about 50-60 C at full load. With the Q9550 I get about 60 C as idle temperature and at full load I reached even 90 C with one of the 4 cores. I think that's a big temperature swing and it looks a bit high. Can any one tell me is my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 temperature too high? Any one have any idea about it? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
