I recently built a new watercooled pc, and its been running fine for last few days. But full-load temps seem too low to me (although I am currently running stock).

Here is my hardware:
Q6600 G0 (watercooled)
DFI Bloodiron
2GB 4-4-4-12 Patriot
EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 512MB (stock cooler)

My cooling:
MCP655
Bonneville Core (w/ 2 88CFM Yate Loons)
D-Tek Fuzion (w/ Quad Nozzle, AS5 grease used)
T-line

And here is the result of running Prime95 for 8 hours:

I picked torture test (maximum heat option) from Prime95, is this right? 37 degrees seems too low for me (although my ambient is probably around 20-25)
Also, my idle temps are around 32 according to CoreTemp

p.s. The 8 hour test was done while I was sleeping, so I haven't been preventing Prime95 from doing full load by running other apps

it seams u are running single thread on prime aka only one core is under load :rolleyes:

You might be right about the core thing, I just checked task manager and apparently only 4th core is getting considerable load (and even that seems about 60%, the others are about 15%). But I can't figure out how to switch Prime to run on all cores and use up all CPU power, I don't see anything similar to that in any options I looked through, unless I run 4 Prime95 apps at once :D

Your full load temps should be around 50.

If you plan on overclocking you are safe at around 60C, I personally wouldn't go over 60 though.

Read post number 4, quads require two programs to be loaded at once ;)

Prime 25.5 can do 4 threads at once.

Hes running stock clocks at stock voltage, so yeah that sounds about right
