Got my Kentsfield QX6700 B3 ES! Time to Overclock!!

That seems crazy hot to me 70c under load? Thats like worst then old P4s did.

The vcore being set to a 1.55 voltage would probably explain the temperature under load.

Remember, there are FOUR heat sources under that IHS. Each of them producing about 65 watts of heat. Thats esencially the same amount of heat that FOUR stock e6600's produce. Thats alot of heat. They're going to be hot.

It's actually 130 watts not 260. It's two conroe's glued together so it's 65*2 = 130 watt. And your temps are high!

I agree temps are high...going to try to back down the voltage and see if I can mainatin the current overclock stability...
