timmyk727 :
I read that guide and it just confused the hell out of me
timmyk727,
Since I wrote the Guide, I'm always interested in making it more comprehensive, so perhaps it would be helpful if you mentioned what you found confusing about it.

Also tried Core Temp, and saw the Tj. Max setting was already at 100c
100c is correct, just as it should be. My Guide is based on SpeedFan, which also uses 100c, but if you find it too complicated, then I recommend Real Temp
2.90 RC12, which can be downloaded from the following link -

At 22c Standard Ambient with a high-end cooler such as your Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer, the Q6600 G0 should Idle at approximately 30 to 32c,
but only under the following conditions:
Computer Case Covers =
Removed
Computer Case Fans =
Manual 100% RPM
CPU Fan =
Manual 100% RPM
CPU Frequency =
Auto (See
Note 1: below)
**
CPU Internal Thermal Control =
Enabled
Enhanced C1 Control (C1E) =
Enabled
Internet =
Disconnected
Memory Frequency =
Auto
PECI (If Equipped) =
Enabled
Speedstep (EIST) =
Enabled
Vcore =
Auto (See
Note 1: below)
**
Vdimm =
Auto
Windows Programs =
Closed
** Note 1: If BIOS does not respond properly to
Auto Vcore, Frequency and Multiplier settings, then use an appropriate combination of manual settings to provide the following in
CPU-Z:
Core Voltage =
1.100 V
Core Speed =
1600 Mhz (
65 nanometer processors)
Core Speed =
2000 Mhz (
45 nanometer processors)
(
A) Measure
Ambient near the computer case air intake, clear of warm exhaust. A trusted indoor analog or digital thermometer will suffice. The accuracy of this device and measurement will determine the overall accuracy of the
Calibrations.
(
B) Boot into Windows. Close all programs, background processes, Screen Savers, SETI, Folding and Tray software. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, click on
Task Manager, then click on the
Performance tab to confirm
CPU Usage is
less than 1%. Use the Applications and Processes tabs to close programs if necessary.
(
C) Open CPU-Z and SpeedFan. Observe CPU-Z for Intel's Speedstep to decrease Core Voltage, Core Speed and Multiplier to
minimum values. Observe SpeedFan, allow
10 minute at Idle to ensure that temperatures decrease to
minimums, then record
Tcase Idle.
(This means record CPU temperature and Core temperatures.) The procedure may seem a bit tedious, but this is how we level the playing field to eliminate all the different variables which affect temperatures when we're looking at calibrations, so that apples are apples, and oranges are oranges. If we don't make every effort to find the lowest common denominators between all the different systems out there, then temperatures can't be sorted out, and the whole topic becomes nothing more than apples and oranges thermal fruit salad in a blender. The author of Real Temp, Kevin Glynn, will tell you the same thing.
If you don't have Core temperatures which are 30 to 32c under these specific conditions, then there are other places to look for problems such as convex or concave IHS and HS surfaces.
Can you confirm that your Q6600 is actually a G0, or have you instead received a B3? Also, can you confirm the VID?
