I've overclocked my Q6600 to 3.0 GHz this afternoon (9*333). With MSN etc on i'm getting temps around 40 C°. When I started stressing it with prime95, the temperature went up to around 80 degrees so I had to cancel it. A few hours later, I opened coretemp and started playing. After playing 20 minutes I pretty much shit my pants when I minimized my ET: temperatures around 80 degrees :l. I'm using a stock cooler but with a 25% clock this shouldn't cause any problems afaik. Maybe I could try overclocking it again to a lower value or I could just find something to fix these temperature issues.

watch out with that temp,u are at the limit
Is your Q6600 the G0 core?
Also, get a decent HSf, a cheap but amazing one is the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7
Temps are high on load, what thermal paste are you using and which technique did you use to apply it
