you have certainly not been attentive to other posts...i posted the below image earlier in this thread.

i think my temperatures are low for 3.9 Ghz running Everest stability test on all FOUR cores; albeit this run is outside the case...if i slapped this system back into my gigabyte Aurora case with two 120mm exhaust fans in the rear, i might see about a 3C increase in cpu temp and maybe 1-2C increase in PWM temp.

a 3C increase added to 50C cpu temperature is STILL damn cool for a Q6600 running all FOUR cores at 100%!

just because you cannot attain this kind of temperature cooling on "AIR" does not make it impossible for others to do!...RIGHT!?

1. I don't consider everest to be acceptable for testing stability. Especially only 13 minutes of it.

2. I just ran the everst stability test myself. Temps are WAY lower then a prime95 load. So not a valid showing of max temp under load.

3. Still have yet to see a screenshot with 8 hours of prime on air.
