Q6600 Performance Results

Idle Temperatures


While its idle performance is better on the quad it still is only good enough to for this wee beastie to finish fourth. This is certainly not terrible and just as we saw with the dual as the overclock (and thermal load) increased so did its performance. It will be very interesting to see what the TRUE Black does when the heat is truly on!


Average Load Temperatures


This is awfully impressive, considering our top 3 coolers only differ by less than 2°C. As for the TRUE Black, it may be based on older technology when compared to Direct Touch Heatpipe technology but this (relatively) old war horse still has a lot of fight left in it. Where this bad boy can accept two fans vs. the single fan only for the Xigmatek & OCZ Vendetta 2 it should be interesting to see what happens when we put a second fan on it and let her rip!
