3DMARK06 Scores Here

Well its easy to get 16C
1. this is 65mn processor which starts out from low volt. since its new
2. at stock speed your normal temp should under 28C without extra fans
3. Ive added one of the best HSF
4.The case have 9 fans not to mention 120mm size and the fans from videocard, HSF thats 11 fans if you add them all.
5. Forgot about that case and that amazing air flow from everywhere.
6. No i live in Virginia not north pole. LOL

Well if i can stay under 36C with OC at 3.4ghz then at 2.4ghz 16C IDLE is normal for that processor.

Look at your thermostat. If it is hotter than 16 C in the room with your computer, you are going to have a very tough (i.e. not possible) time cooling your CPU to less than ambient temperature.

A heatsink/fan works by utilizing room temerature airflow.

Pro check this out
http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16835118120

people are getting a higher temp. in the reviews with that watercooling.

This what they say
Pros: Cpu Temp Before : 45 idle/60 Load Cpu Temp After : 33 idle/40 Load This was tested in a 90 degree room...

Pros: Works Great out of the box installed in less than 1 hour 5 star product Temps: Ideal: CPU=34 & NB=39 & Sli GPU's=41 Loaded: CPU=41 & NB=46 & Sli GUP's=47 (3 hours of F.E.A.R.) DFI nf4 DR Sli AMD x2 4400+ 2X eVA 7900GT KO SuperClockers

This was what I needed due to the fact that I'm have a fast PC that was hot as all. CPU ran @ 45-58 VGA in Sli ran 62-94 Now CPU 28-41 VGA in Sli 38-48 WOW. Easy to install for me hope yours goes well

Now compare that to aircooling temps 20C

Then somethings wrong with your temp sensor.

Because if your using air thats at an average temp of 73F, how is your processor running at 61F?

I used to have a similar problem with my Pentium D 930 rig. Because when it was idle, i had temps around 18-20C, which were only a few degrees above ambient temp.

I can see what your temp sensor says, but theres just no way it can be cooler then ambient air without having a peletier cooler or something.

Nothing is wrong with the sensor. If you think something is wrong why dont you just download that same program and test your temp. Plus its the right temp. And I just check the weather in my area http://www.weather.com/weather/local/22310?lswe=22310&lwsa=WeatherLocalUndeclared&from=whatwhere its the same temp as outside. so its normal for my pc to go 18C

I actually suspect the same thing about my sensor, or at least the temp Everest shows. Everest shows an Idle temp of ~ 25 C, which seems low, SANDRA doesn't do real time monitoring (at least i don't think it does), but captures the temp at about 34 C when I check the hardware and Everest doesn't show that temp.

Were you able to fix this on your rig? If so how?

(Sorry about the off-topic reply; I was goingto start this in a new thread, but thought it might be too confusing.)

I never fixed it, because I just thought that the CPU was a really cool running processor.

your pc is really so awesome,.. it even bends the law's of physics.. now thats what i would call cutting edge technology.
sorry for the sarcasm.. but it say's your processor is cooler than the ambient temperature..
btw.. how do you think all programs measure the CPU temp? i dont think you get a USB thermometer or something like that with one of those programs. yes, they all use the same sensor

It sure beats your system. What cpu score did you get in 3dmark06?:D

He doesnt have it yet, but remember, price is also a factor.

You probably paid about $800 for your FX-60, when you can get an E6600 for $350 that will beat the crap out of it, especially at stock. They are also better overclockers.

Or you can go with the X6800, which is pretty much guarenteed to overclock better, and perform better then yours.

If thats true then why is Archangel buying fx 60?

My guess is because Archangel doesnt want to have to get a new mobo or RAM. But if you look at any benchmark sites, you can see that a Core 2 Duo E6600 beats the FX-62 by up to ~60FPS in games.
