Erm, that’s a bit impossible. If it took 30c off and now your CPU idles around 30c, that means before you had like 60c. The only explanation is you probably mounted the stock cooler wrongly, and it’s not such a hard thing to do (Intel’s mounting method sucks). Q6600 G0 should idle around 20-35c, and under-load around 40-60c.

that unrealistic, you cant cool it further than the temp in your room, which is usually ~25 degree...
check your values in bios!
NOTE: said 16 degree here too, but actually it was way more! (30 instead of 15...)

i thought that to but i've checked the cpu's temps and they match the ones in bios around ~30c iddle and maximum ~37c full load ( i've checked with a neighbor that has a 4800+ brisbane to and core temps are a little higher then mine,, around 20c in iddle ad 22c in full load, but he is running on stock cooling so.. problably those are the real temp or all/most o sf 4800+ brisbane's, dunno if the other brisbane show such low temps to. are suffering from a core sensor malfunction

I had to (diagonally) jump up and down on the pins to get the intel stock fan in place.

A lot of desktop cpus have a mis-configured temperature sensor.

That's what I thought as well but I remounted it a few different times and if you saw the contact area of the cooler and CPU the thermal paste included with the retail cooler was evenly spread and appeared to make excellent contact.
