Q6600 Performance Results

Idle Temperatures


Just as I thought, the lack of cooling fins on some of the heatpipes and the overall less than optimal design leaves the DuOrb struggling even when the Q6600 is just idling. On the bright side at least these numbers are better than the stock Intel cooler was able to do.


Average Load Temperatures



Ouch! The DuOrb is only capable of handling minor overclocking loads on a quad core. Anymore than 3.0GHz resulted in a near instant FAIL due to temps skyrocketing above our safety cut off mark of 75° C. As it stands, this is not the cooler for anyone who wants to do some serious overclocking on a quad.
