another Q6600 thread

robgti · 6 Feb 2010 at 12:58

Hi all been running my Q6600 @ 3.3Ghz for over a week now with no problems at all just wanted to check something. On Core Temp it says my VID is 1.2750v and on CPU-Z it says it is 1.280v. I assume that Core Temp is telling me the factory voltage and CPU-Z the overclocked voltage? If so then i have a good low voltage chip?

Im using a J&W P45D2-ULTRA board and TRUE cooler. Temp range from 30c idle to 68c full load.

Thanks

Well my plan is to hit 3.6ghz. Thank you for explaining.

I was running it at 3.6ghz before but wasnt stable and the temps never went above 74c

Thank you very much. I think i will just increase it by .1ghz at a time instead of going straight up to 3.6ghz.

Cheers Setter. Think i might have to change my fans on the TRUE as i am only using silent Asaka ones at the moment at 900rpm. They are silent but might not be passing enough air through the cooler

Well it just so happens i have two sharkoon silent eagles 2000's which i took out of my other case and was wondering what to do with them.

Think you have just saved me a few quid. Cheers mate

Yeah it all up and running spot on. Still need to pull my finger out and get it tidied then post some pictures. Just playing a bit Forza at the moment so will do it after.

I will be running them through a fan controller so should hopefully be able to quiet them down a bit
