From my Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-quad-temperature-guide

"... Section 6: Scale ...

...Scale 2: Quad
Q9x50: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping C1, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q9300: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping M1, TDP 95W, Idle 16W
Q6x00: Tcase Max 71c, Stepping G0, TDP 95W, Idle 16W

-Tcase/Tjunction-
--70--/--75--75--75--75-- Hot
--65--/--70--70--70--70-- Warm
--60--/--65--65--65--65-- Safe
--25--/--30--30--30--30-- Cool ..."

Tcase = CPU temperature
Tjunction = Core temperatures

it says that the sun beam core contact cooler is socket 754. I need a socket 775

This is what I have for my E8200 @ 3.6, idle: 39C load: 55C For $20.99 it does the trick.
