The reason - it's the cpu, this X6800 i have runs 15-20C cooler than any core2 cpu i have used at the same volts! all my other E6600/E6700 run 3600mhz at 1.35-1.4v in same room at 60-68C load versus X6800 @3600mhz at 1.4v at 42-48C load!

it could be due to good IHS - notice the corners are lower than the middle!
yeah can see that,hmmm think i will lap the qx6700 might drop temps a bit.
yeah similar setup here with storm, 120.3PA and DDC1(petra top-ek barbs) but no air con. the x6800(sold now) loaded about the same as your other chips.

how hot does your Q6600 get @ 3.6GHz(1.4-1.42V)?
