Hey there guys,
Today I managed to get my hands on a new Intel Q9450 and upgraded from my old Q6600.
I'm a little concerned at the idle temp of my Q9450.
I'm using a Zalman 9700NT pure copper cooler my average idle temp for my Q6600 running at a stock speed of 2.4Ghz was ranging from 30 to 34.
I assumed with the Q9450 that considering that it is based on 45nm wafer that it would run cooler therefore my idle temps would be lower that what I was achieving with my Q6600 but my current idle temp for the Q9450 ranges from 38 to 40.
Does this sound about right to you guys?
I would appreciate any feedback.
