Your motherboard doesn't effect it THAT much. I do need more info though. First of all what kind of case do you have? Did you replace the thermal paste? Is the cooler attached properly? Are those LOAD or idle temps?

My Q6600 (checked it today) was at 50 celcius at idle. You need Artic Silver paste and some additional case fans.

Actually 50C at IDLE is kinda high. It should be around 40C for a stock speed CPU. Of course that is in a good airflow case and your room temp is not terribly high either. It can be a combination of all these things. Try optimizing your airflow. Can I see a pic of your case? I can't find it on newegg.
LOCO, that seems a bit high. Did you OC your CPU?

Abuzar: firstly, his CPU isn't overclocked, read the post, and second, ever heard of google? lol
There's something else at fault here too - I suggest cleaning off the old thermal paste using window&glass cleaner (does the job fine) then apply proper Arctic Silver V or Arctic cooling MX-2 paste, whichever you can lay your hands on, then see what temps you get.
However, your case is pretty terrible for cooling a CPU as powerful as a Q6600 and should really also be replaced post haste.

I DID search on google, maybe it was my internet connection but all I found was the Viper 2, the pages that mentioned viper wouldn't open for me.

..and i'll bring up the rear with my stock Q6600's (with Zalman CPNS9700 too) idle temperature - 31C; i have the Antec 900 case with all standard fans (on lowest speed). Admittedly it's not summer yet (UK) but with the summer-like hot spells we've been having this year it'll only be around 40C idle in the summer.

Indeed. I've got one more day in a spacious downstairs room in my student house before I return to Essex for the summer - a pokey upstairs room - I'll see how my PC fares then. As it stands right now I'm not concerned with my temps at all, but I'm only running a humble dual core... :)
