PC Build Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz Temps

platinum87 · 12 Mar 2008 at 15:41

got some stuff MX2 today going to try it out but what do you think about these temps.. my room is prob 22degrees. all case fans max

bios corev set to 1.4050 all else to default

rough vdrop @ 0.035v & Vdroop @ 0.07v + idle temp 38 degrees

thats great, atm i am at 3.4ghz with your settings except i am running 1.4v thru the cpu (real). whats annoying me is that i was crashing at 3.2ghz and 3.3ghz in prime even after upping everyhting slwoly, MCH ICH ICHIO CPUVTT...

i couldnt figure out why it wasnt stable and i didnt wanna raise the volts any more... suddenly realised that i had ddr voltage on 2.1v doh, and that my memory is safe to use with 2.4v...

ho hum, priming at 3.4ghz and nothing has crashed yet. will see after a few hours.

if u can get that 3.6ghz stable dude i salute ya

cos u hit the holy grail of 400x9

Nice that there, better than my E6600 1.53V (real) @ 3.4

im gonna disconnect my pc so i will be back later on, i will replace AS5 with MX-2 and let you guys know how its working + some pics.

aiming for 412 X 9 next but my absolute limit is 70degrees under prime so ive got a few degrees headroom + if mx-2 does anything extra then its all good

thats a good OC. I could'nt get that stable. :-(

Mana · 12 Mar 2008 at 16:40

to be honest tho these chips are great but i dont think i wanan run higher than 3.4ghz 24/7 as the temps are now approaching 65C in prime...

prolly just gonna know its stable then clock back down to 3.3ghz.

i just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to get the mobo out of the case?

what? i hear you think?

i used smaller screws on the mobo somehow, and when i was unscrewin it, the dam thing kept turning and doing nothing, eventually i removed the standoff, and got it fixed by adding pressure while unscrewing..

dont use those small screws! blimey

Nice OC btw

Pretty good but I wouldn't want to have to put up with the noise of all those fans on high, they make a racket!

I run all mine at low, apart from the large one at the top which is at medium.

Mana · 12 Mar 2008 at 19:29

lol what about when u are building the pc and u drop one of those tiny screws into the case and it rolls under the mobo and u have already partly screwed the motherboard in...

now thats annoying

platinum87 · 12 Mar 2008 at 21:54

ok so ive replaced everything back to normal....

using MX-2, temps have been higher by around 2 degrees on load, and around 3 degrees on idle. (comparing to AS5)

however this isnt really a absolute result, the mx2 comes out in a rush with the applicator they have -- then i spread it back but i cant say its better then AS5.. i will however replace the compound when i get some sort of power tools to do a proper cable mod. right now those 2 holes are a bit maxed out :s

anyway here are the pictures of my build!

platinum87 · 12 Mar 2008 at 21:55

putting all the old stuff in my old case

and now the mobo with processor

look at this tuniq compared with the stock, its nice i like

platinum87 · 12 Mar 2008 at 22:13

Installed tuniq

.. however it touches a capacitor i noticed but nothing to worry about,

and putting it in the case

cleaning those dirty cages

the 8 pin connector is tight, you cannot plug it in or remove it when the mobo is installed due to tuniq, i use extension now(dont think shown on pics)

almost finished
