I changed to the 14 bios, and the high temps I was getting before in the bios and uGuru have disappeared. Thanks for that suggestion. My Q6600 is at 3.4 ghz. Idle is around 32-35 C in uGuru. Cores are about 44-47 C in Core Temp. I've been running Prime95 for a couple hours now, and max temp in uGuru is 63 C so far. The cores are around 77-79 C. Are these temps typical for a Q6600 OC'ed to 3.4 ghz?
