Hey guys,
First of all, Happy New Year to you all!
Today I installed my new Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler with a Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM Ultra Quiet 120mm Fan onto my Q6600 (G0 stepping). Everything went perfectly, and since I was getting very good idle and load temperatures I changed a few settings in the BIOS to try and reach a stable 3.2GHz, after following some advice in another thread:
FSB: 400
CPU Multiplier: 8
Vcore: 1.35
My load temperatures after using Prime95 at 3.2GHz for 15mins are:
Core #0: 52°C
Core #1: 51°C
Core #2: 50°C
Core #3: 50°C
*All the temperatures were measured using Core Temp*
I am very new to overclocking but am eager to learn, so I have read this and would really appreciate some advice on what I should be changing next to get the best overclock I can. I am also interested to know why CPU-Z is showing my Core Voltage as 1.264 on load, not 1.35, is this normal?
