Need help with quad temps

Hi everyone,

I brough a Quad 6600 v G0 , ASUS p5K and vga 8800 GT 600 Mhz, 2 x 2 Gb Corsair DDR2, PS Chieftec 750W

The service asambled with cooler from box , I got home I put my HDD`s and DVD and turn it on, after installed WIN XP SP2 x86 I made some testes on how is working the new CPU.

Honestly I got amazed about CPU usages .. BUT, opening SpeedFan 4.34 beta 40 (with -15c fix) I saw my CPU is staying in ~40 degrees

I start to look on internet about CPU temperatures and I saw normal is like 25 idle and 45 full load.

So I changed the heatsink with a Spire Fourier III (blowing air from the CPU to HS and to case cover) , using a Arctic ceramic paste.

ok, after a hard montage (necesary bracers under MB) I finished and boot it up. The diference was like 1-2 degrees (idle 39-40c . even 41 after some hours - tcase)

On Orthos test (opening 2 x Orthos , affinity set on 2 + 2 cores) .. got CPU on 100 % full load and 57c idle tcase, 67c TJunc)

OK, something was not good, so I start to make some airflow in case:

120 cm front ~ 1500 RPM (getting air into the computer)
120 cm up case ~2000 RPM (getting out hot air)
80 cm back ~3000 RPM (in side of heatsink ~ getting air inside)

Now the CPU is like Tcase 35c idle and TJ 43-44.

If I start a game (WoW, Hellgate) CPU is rising up to 43-44, for Crysis CPU is up to 50c tcase and the top fan is getting out a lot of hot air like a air conditioner on hot mode.

.. and dont wanna talk about noise .. is like 2 enginee of airplanes

I`ve read the CPU guide, according to that should not worry, but I am because of games and applications is rising like 10c in 3-4 sec instant

Now my questions are:

This is normal or I`m getting crazy making this CPU to run "normal" ?

When people are talking about this 25-30c CPU idle and 45 load for wich temps are reffering to? tcase or Tjunc?

What can I do to reduce this annoying noice but to not over heat the CPU?

PS: I dont want to overclock untill I fix this. So is running at 2.4 GHz standard / box CPU.
Same temps specified are verified with Core Temp, Speedfan 4.34 beta 40, TAT and AS Suite/ PC Probe for Tcase

Many thanks and looking forward for your answers and advices.

Forgot to say about GPU temp

well idle is 46-48c and in WoW is like 55 and crysis 64c

Your temps look normal to me. If you plan to OC get a good cooler.

Changed the CPU cooler with an Arctic Freezer Pro 7, now is like 27 idle Tcase and 35- 36 Tjunct (morning boot) and 33-34 tcase after few hours (with fan controller minim) , 28-30 tcase (with fan`s at maxim .. but a lot of noise)

Spire dissapointed me a lot with the Fourier III

Question:
The ~35c degrees idle is normal for Q6600 TCase or must be Tjunction ? (with air cooling)

Here is an image with 5 min test on full load (degrees stabilizaed from 2 min at those values) :

1 thing I didnt mention, about case.

Is a Iron case, cheap normal ~10 euro , iron ~1mm, no Al or Cu or anything to remove the heat and I made some holes DIY

Here is the new airflow:

Looking forward for possible suggestions about this.

THanks to all by now for answering
