It'll go to Bigstan2 unless you can get a FCF mod/admin to change it before the WU is submitted, IIRC.Bigstan said:

It doesn't really matter. I was just curious. I'd prefer it to go to Bigstan2 so that it counts towards next weeks single crunchers league

Thanks as always for the news Rich. Another great week, with a 40 million team tiffy as well! 
That Quad will definitely put us young whippersnappers in our place (us being me and everyone else in the single crunchers...)!
It will be good to see what kind of damage one of those things could do.

Bah, finally get on the C2D bandwagon and now I find people are jumping off for the Quads
Anyway, mine is installed and appears to be working nicely, although I am a touch concerned about the temps. According to Intel's TAT utility my E6600 idles at around 30C and when at full load reaches around 50C. Is this normal for a C2D? I was led to believe these chips were much cooler but 50C seems a bit toastie for stock speeds on a Ninja. Oh, and why is it pretty much every piece of software for measuring temps gives me a different value
Dunno, not had an Intel chip for years so could just be too used to frosty AMDs.

If I had the money then yes I would love a quaddie. I have exactly £1.79 in change here... anyone have one they wanna sell
30C on idle and 50C loaded is spot on. TAT and CoreTemp should give the same results as they're reading off the chip itself. The motherboard utility will give lower temps as it's reading the motherboard sensor.SiriusB said:Bah, finally get on the C2D bandwagon and now I find people are jumping off for the Quads

30 idle and 47 load - [email protected] with a xp120

If you actually mean Single Core then it'll be a P4, which means i'm going to have to try and crank this A64 even more

Bah, my plans for world domination have been slowed a bit.
After my P2604 @ 3041ppd, I've just finished a P3036 and started another for the measly return of 2625ppd - bloody rubbish

hehe FahMon is scoring me at little over 500ppd at the moment - not great considering i was up to 1000ppd only the other day. Im off out tonight though so its going to be crunching away all night without interruption (as long as theres no power cuts)

my cpu is lapped (mirror finish) AS5 fully tempered, and air flow in my silverstone is prity good - but to be honest a ninja would improve temps - but an ultra-120 extreme is the daddy (don't think if it's avaliable in the uk yet)
is the surface of your ihs flat? or are the 6600 just hotter?
Soldato
As far as I know all the C2D chips are pretty much the same - hence why nearly all of them can get to at least around 3GHz.
To be honest I didn't really make a point of seeing how flat the IHS was. I did clean it before applying the AS5 and it didn't seem concave.
I will see how it goes while the AS5 is setting and the chip gets burned in so to speak. The real test of course is when I get around to overclocking it. Am I correct in that the max safe temp is around 65C? If I can stay under the max safe temp and still reach at least 3GHz I'll be happy. I will be going H20 in a few months so its only a temporary thing.
