    Heat issue Intel Core 2 duo E6600

    I have been using AS for my E6600. Followed AS's installation guide for core 2 duo and the performance is not that good. If you have another thermal grease, try it. Let me know if the temp improves.

    need a new water block, plz recommend

    My old koolance CPU300-V06 6mm tubing water block is not doing well with my new E6600. It require a huge copper disk to transfer heat from the cpu to the water block which cause horrible performance. So I am in the market for a new water block. I don't want to buy the new koolance water block...

I assumed the same for this adaptor, but turns out this adaptor has a install manual online. I may able to do without...

    Is 62C a good temp when running E6600 at 363 FSB?

    I measured it with Core Temp. My guess is the koolance water block spacer, it is a huge copper disc. I think I will try without the spacer or re-apply the thermal paste. Koolance 775 ATX Spacer
