Im stable at 3.42 @ 1.45v

Tried to get to 3.6, upped voltage to 1.475 as Orthos was only lasting a few mines, on CPU test only, but then started to BSOD

Whats the max and settings other people have?

Cheers
 
1.55v is a little too high isnt it? I read not to go over 1.5v?

I cant get below 1.45v at 3.42GHz

You on water or air?
 
1.55 is too high for most, but I care about temperatures more and I'm on water so they don't get very high at all.

If you cool with water and get the temps down, does that mean you can drop the voltage?

No....the temps aren't that good :p In fact they are still about 55c dual orthos....but most likely would be very, very high if I was on air.

A cpu will require a specific voltage to be stable at a certain frequency....if you drop the temperature enough then you should be able to drop the voltage required for it to be stable...but I'm not using LN2 or Dry ice. :)
 
Im on air, but guess im maxed out almost. I spose I could go to 1.5v, but as was BSOD'ing at 1.475v its only going to get worse and water cooling isnt going to help as the lower temps wont do anything.

But I still might get water cooling to just lower temps anyway and hold at 3.42 as its stable
 
Have you absolutely ruled out your memory causing the errors? Have you tried upping your Northbridge volts?
 
I got the ram voltage up by 0.2v, crucial ballistix

My ram and mobo only goto 800Mhz so im on the limit.

Might loosen off the timings again then too.

Which one is the northbridge voltage in BIOS, I havnt touched that at all yet I think.

You should be glad... I can;t get past 3.1ghz without one core failing:(

I was heading for 3.4ghz so you hit my target:D
 
Me too I am going for the 3.4 or 3.6 mark but at the moment I feel as though I am running at a very low voltage at 3.2GhZ. Running at 1.34V with minor crashing when playing games... but upping it as it happens.
 
Im surprised I got there so easily so fast as well for my first overclock. But as usual im never happy knowing that I might be able to get to 3.6, so I wont leave it be at 3.4, lol

Notice a big difference from stock settings, eventhough it will die faster, oh well.:)

who cares about shortening life from 15 years to 12 years.....e6600s will be ancient artifacts by then
 
once you go water, you never go back. Fooling around with watercooling setups is really a hobby in its own.
 
I was thinking an external unit and then the CPU block you suggest and a full cover GPU block for my GTX.

I think that would be easier than putting it in my case etc...
 
Swiftech makes a radbox that makes it very easy to mount the radiator to the back of the case...and there is usually room inside for the pump/reservoir.
