Ive managed to get my 6600 to boot up @ 3ghz with 333fsb and 1.32vcore

only thing is though the temps in TAT at idle are about 45 ish and reach 62 ish at load

is this too high ?

im not sure how stable it is yet, as ive not left it played my games with it much yet, just wondered what i should think about the temps

interestingly the asus PCprobe reports the CPU temp as 30

:confused:

Temps are fine, should try & keep it below 61. If your using the stock cooler you may want to change it.

TAT reads temps from the actual CPU Core, AsusProbe give you mobo sensor readings.
 
Get yourself an ACF 7 pro (if your not planning on going above 3gig) most E6600 should do 3gig comfortably on stock voltage (1.325) with ~40C idle temps and 50-55C load temps with the above HSF.
 
i might try booting it with stock voltage

i upped the voltage when i got past about 300 fsb, thinking it must surely be needed by now, obviously not :D

this is with a TT120 cooler btw, not the retail one.
 
ah um cool :D

You shouldn't need any extra voltage upto 3150MHz +-50MHz depending on CPU quality... my first E6600 wouldn't go above 2.6 or 2.8ish can't remeber which now without a vcore increase - but the CPU died soon after so I'm guessing it was dodgy from the start.
 
Mine runs at 45 idle and 55c load with a tt120 as well so temps are ok.
I thought 1.32v was stock volts for a 6600.
Have mine at 3.2ghz with 1.35v 400mhz fsb x8 multi seems tobe no problem for this processor :D

its overvolted in bios to 1.34 but under-reads in CPU-Z for some reason.
 
just put my week 27 rev. B e6600 under water.

no noise nice temps and great overclock for low volts, 1.38v bios.
