But with three different temp monitors, we have to believe it is really that hot. That Thermalright fan looks about like a Big Typhoon, I surprised it can't cool it down any. And after seeing your temperature troubles with the QX6700, I don't think I want one.
Before you resort to water cooling, maybe you could try dropping the cpu core voltage back a bit. I have done that to lower my temperatures before. What is the BIOS version on your board? Perhaps updating to the most current version might help?

Hello!
Thanx for reply!
I don't overclock, it's @ 2.666 GHz...
I have the newest BIOS.
Your 50 °C on the CPU- heatspreader (which program you use) or with "Intel Thermal Analysis Tool" direct the Cores?
I started a thread at S@H about the temps...
and it's looking like this that the high temperatur is normal...
"Intel Core2 Extreme QX6700 and temps"
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=38069
The Quad have around 20 °C more temp. than the Dual´s...
Friendly greetings!

I found this here

"TAT (Intel Thermal Analysis Tool) accurately monitors all of the individual core temperatures for Intel processors like the Core 2 Duo and Quad range.
Note* Reported temps will be much higher in TAT than speedfan or motherboard bios readings, they are read from internal diodes inside each core and are not comparible to non-core readings, expect temps of 60c+ even on water!"
I've been watching your thread with interest, it sounds encouraging that there is nothing wrong with your rig.
Happy Crunching,
Pam

Yes, yes, I used the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool... :)
A few posts before I said it... ;)
The prog show me only the Core # 0 and # 1...
There is no "button" to shop me the others... or I didn't found him...? ;)
The cores # 0 and # 1 had the same temp like with CoreTemp ...
You have the Intel D975XBX or the D975XBX2?
Which prog you use, to look to the "heat-spreader-temp" from the CPU?
I used MotherboardMonitor, SpeedFan, AIDA32 and EVEREST... no temp from the CPU (heat-spreader)...
Now I have the probs again, why I started a few threads...
"I have probs with Simons S@H V5.15 Rev.2.2A & B"

Yes, I have the Bad Axe 2, so I can maybe upgrade to the QX6700 sometime. That is disappointing to hear TAT doesn't show all four cores.
If BOINC is freezing, that is a kind of crash- did you ever run memtest to check your memory? Some crashes I have had with other builds were with memory the board didn't like. If I couldn't get through a full pass of memtest, I'd switch to some other memory that could and that seemed to solve my problems. I had two sticks of Corsair Value Select 512 Mb and the only board they worked in was a VIA chipset board, they hated my NForce 3 boards. The NForce 3 liked 256Mb sticks but not 512 Mb of the same brand.
I use Crucial Ballistix 2X512 Mb on my Bad Axe 2, ddr2 800 or PC 6400. But I am overclocking and running it at 533 MHz, or 1:1 ratio with memory/fsb. I am at 322 fsb and 1.35 V vcore today with 55-50 deg C according to TAT, which I think measures core temp.
Sorry you are having these troubles, that should be a really good cruncher. I guess I wonder about the version of BOINC, I am using 5.4.11 and am happy with those results and 2.2B Seti app. I have not tried BOINC clients with cpu affinity. I use a trial version of Wndows XP Pro 64 and do updates when it has them.
Regards,
Pam

You had probs with Corsair?
Uhh... I have Corsair CM2x1024-6400C4, they running now with 5-5-5-15 @ 800 MHz(normal)
But they are tested (permission) with 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1V & @ 800 MHz too (that's the reason why I bought them)
I have no experiences with overclocking...
With which x-x-x-x you let run your RAMs?
The seller, where I bought the PC, wanted to let run CL4, but it wasn't running (because of the BIOS, I think it was the 2333 11/27/2006... the old...)
I had updated to the newest... but I didn't had the courage to test it now again... ;)
Now I let run the PC without the Intel Desktop Utilities prog, because you said that you had probs (freezing) with this (with BOINC too?)...
Maybe that's the reason for my probs...
If I have probs again... then I make the memtest :)
But I'm little confused, because I took (like I said) AIDA32, EVEREST, SpeedFan and MotherboardMonitor and they don't worked with the D975XBX2.
With which prog you look to the complete CPU temp? (not the cores, the "heat-spreader-temp")
Intel Desktop Utilities show me (you too?) only the "temperature range" ("processor thermal margin", that's the heat-spreader?) to the max. temp 65°C? (..on the middle point of the CPU (heat-spreader) QX6700))
(I think, because the man from Intel I called, couldn't tell me what this temp ("processor thermal margin") is ). My experiences, so hotter the CPU so smaller the indicate (idle=50°C, full load=25°C (FanControl ON))
Friendly greetings!
But I'm little bit confused, because with the SSSE3-Core2 Rev. 1.41 I didn't had the probs with freezing BOINC...
