E6600 overclock

WJA96 · 9 Jan 2007 at 16:26

Looking at the contact surfaces in the photograph you posted originally it doesn't look like you have poor contact anywhere across the surface of the IHS. I'm not keen on really big coolers that attach just with the stock motherboard mounts as they must pull in the direction of mavity, surely? Anything that size and weight, I'd want it bolted down. Have you tried it with a cheaper cooler eg. a Freezer 7 Pro?

I beg to differ. With my DS3 and e6600 I need to put 1.43v through it to get 3Ghz orthos stable.

Unlucky dude.

Most E6600's will do 3Ghz on stock volts.

do u use Core Temp or TAT for checking your temps or u are using Speed Fan or some different programms?

i am not trying to be funny but my new AF7is running all the time @ one speed which is around 790RPM, Idle full load all the time same , how can i make it to run faster ?

in your mobo BIOS settings kill Q-Fan for cpu.

Woah dude! I'm on 3.2 gig on stock volts absolutely stable on Orthos 9 hours. (also 400x8) I suggest you try stock volts and run Orthos, your temps will fall way down!

Was that aimed at me?

Oh no it wasn't, the original poster. I haven't read any of the subsequent posts

You would've had a point though

bad temps

i had bad tmeps on my 6300 at stock i was hitting 47c idle and at 2.8 400x7 i hit 63 load with both cores in tat!

i needed more so i decided to undervolt to 1.25 and presto

440x7 stable so far and only 60c load so its worth a try cant get to 450 tho without default voltd and that *** be like 70c so screw that

Some of you are getting very odd temps.

I have an E6600 @ 3.2 (vCore 1.325)
Idle
36C-41C

Load
50C-55C

Intel TAT & CoreTemp

Tuniq Tower 120. I used the thermal past that came with the tower & no lapping

i think the paste that comes with the tuniq tower is quite good tbh.. not that iv tried any other on it so far though

Ok this is where I am with my hot E6600.

I got fed up of constantly fiddling around in my case so I've mounted the system on my desk outside the case.

I then took the cpu out and wiped off all the thermal paste and checked the surface of the IHS which is seems flat.

So I did the same thing with the Heat sink surface... also seems flat.

Now when I mounted it all again (outside the case) @ stock volts & stock speed
I get idle temps of 48 - 52 degrees, which seems really ****! The interesting thing is when I unplugged the heatsink fan the temp didn't change?!

I've got a Tuniq 120 & AS5 arriving tomorrow so fingers crossed that will help, but can it knock 10+c off the temp?

The Scythe Ninja doesn't fit the P5B properly.

The mounting plate gets stuck on the Capacitors to the top of the CPU socket, as I've just found out.

I've just spent all morning with a Hack-Saw cutting a groove in the mounting plate!

My temps have dropped from 74 degrees full load at 3.42GHz with a E6600, to 58-60 degrees full load at 3.42GHz

(at 1.288 volts)

A 1Ghz OC with it under-volted? How does that work?
Can someone please explain a bit about the voltages. Some chips need more, Others are fine will less. Is it simple luck of the draw? thx

Malc · 10 Jan 2007 at 16:35

What is the default voltage for a Core 2 Duo anyway, is it 1.25V?

I've set mine to 1.325V in the bios but it's an ASUS board so it undervolts and CPU-Z says its at 1.288V. (this is at 3.42GHz)

Its a 27B chip if that means anything. I think it is luck of the draw though as to how well it overclocks.

I would be very suprised if it's actually running at 3.4Ghz on ~1.28v

Malc · 10 Jan 2007 at 17:21

Is it far fetched to be running at 3.42GHz on 1.325V?

No, I've just got home and checked my CPU-Z and it repots voltage of 1.280v when I know mine is at stock. manually in BOIS (1.325v)
I'm interested to know people's experience with under-volting a CPU, like rofflay has done

E6000 @ 2.4 under-volted to:
1.30v OK
1.25v OK
1.20v Not OK

I can over clock to 2.8 @ 1.30vCore.

I think anything below an E6600 like an E6300 need less vCore due to lack of extra cache

i followed all instructions in there,but doing something wrong !
eaven if i do small OC, i get some errors ! And my i-net dont wanna work after i OC ,crashed all the time,when i switch back to default settings everything is back to normal !

not good ehh? :/
