E6420 How far can i push with air?

[bloodline76]

I am just waiting for my power supply to arrive before I can test my new build but how far do you think I can push the CPU with normal air cooling. I have a freezer pro 7 sitting on it.

Thanks from the OC noob

What is orthos?

What is the multipler on mine then?

 

[bloodline76]

Is that better? (sig) So what is a safe level to go up to. I would be happy with 3ghz.

 

[bloodline76]

4 lines max, currently 5

and 3Ghz should be easily doable on a e6420 on air.

Better?

And thanks.

 

[bloodline76]

ok

 

[bloodline76]

Thanks. Is that a safe temp on 100%?

Not too sure on overclocking at the moment. Not sure if my Freezer pro 7 is working. Is the fan supposed to stop?

 

[bloodline76]

Yes it seems to come on every now and then. Chip is running at about 20 so it appears ok.

Got mine to 3.4 but hit a FSB wall at 8x428

p.s. Your sig is too big according to forum rlues mate, too many lines

Do i just increase the FSB then until it crashes?

 

[bloodline76]

To change fan speeds go to PC health in Bios and
Select Legacy in the Smart fan Control to allow cpu temp to determine fan speed or Disable for the fan to run at full speed all of the time

If legacy selected then in Smart Fan mode set to voltage if the cooler has a 3pin connector or PWM if it has a 4pin.

The temp. of 20 does not seem right; are you using TAT to measure it? if not try TAT.

Hope this helps

Turned the fan on 100% and put the fsb up to 300x8

Can i download this temperature gauge? If so can i have the name or a link

Thanks

What is a safe temperature with tat?

 

[bloodline76]

Mine are showing 24-30 for each idle @ 2400mhz

So does that mean I can go a little higher?

Its running about 40ish now after use.
