E6600 Temps

3.6Gig on STOCK VOLTS?!?!?!

i can't get 3.6 gig @ 1.475 volts without all sorts of crashing and restarting... how on earth are you doing that at 1.325V?

either you've got an exceptionally awesome e6600 or i've got an exceptionally bad one... gutted!

I cant get 3.6ghz at 1.575v, let alone 1.475! Must have been a typo, or Orthos has only been run for 5 seconds, surely thats impossible... right?
 
I'll crank it back up to 3.6 and see how long it lasts in Orthos, it was certainly fine for about 30 mins or so, just chickened out when the temps were hitting mid 60's.

Away for the weekend, so you'll have to bear with me.

When you say stock volts, do you mean it was on "Auto"? Or you specifcally set the vcore to 1.325v? Cos if it was on Auto, then your mobo would have compensated for the extra bus speed, and was probably going well over 1.5v to be safe.

When you do Orthos it, keep an eye on your Vcore voltage in Windows (i.e. PC Probe in you have a Asus) and see what that says?

Will do. Thought it was on set volts not auto, but will check. Hopefully not disappoint!

And out of interest, at what point does the auto voltage thing not go any higher?
 
I brought some AC Thermal paste and some TIM cleaner - should arrive today, so I'll tell you what temps I'm getting after ;)

Someone more in the know could answer that, but I would say that there would be a point where the FSB or the Voltage goes to high and your PC will just not boot no matter what and you will have to CMOS it.

But I don't know if thats the case cos I've never gone that far, for example I would never go for 3.7ghz on Air cooling and I wouldn't go over 1.6v on Air either, and I never leave it on Auto.

But I do reckon your mobo will not go crazy, and your PC would just fail to boot to be safe.
 
Auto setting will 'feed' the CPU what it needs - usually over tbh - I highly doubt that the cpu is stable on 'stock volts' more like 1.4-1.5.

A quick vcore change from auto to 1.35 should be able to suss out whether or not its stable on stock volts.
 
just another temp to look at. I`m using a tuniq tower with 1.40 vcore. temps are ~54 at full load on dual prime 95. running at 3.24ghz

watercooling coming next week!! :-)
 
Hey all,

Just fitted it all back into place (Which was the hardest thing I've ever had to do since the heatsink's plugs went all wierd on me) and when I first turned the PC on, I was happy to see the temp was around 40 - 43C, which was still a lil high but at least it was cooler... Now I look at it and it's back to the normal 45 - 50C

Doesn't seem to have done much - any ideas?
 
3 ghz e6300 idles at 52c with ac7 1.37 volts

i aint happy with it but my sys board is at 40 c lol

looks like some new thermal paste and a new axt case
 
Bump :) Anyone know why I am getting these hot temps?
Fan Setup:
1 Top 80mm
1 front 80mm
1 GFX Card
1 80mm and 1 120mm in 580W Hiper Type R PSU
1 Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7

The only seperate fans in the PC are really just the 1 top and front 80mm fan - maybe I need another in the side?

Thanks,

Marky
 
another hot e6600 owner here, 3.2ghz stable with idle temps right now of 57 58 with an infinity. Was going to lap, but sitll stable so no point as of yet

temp in room is 23/24
 
29c idle atm, 6600@ 2.8 (320X9) 1.28v tuniq HSF.

Load is @ 45. core 0 50 core 1 50

Never seen them go past that as of yet.

James are you happy at the max temp of 65c? I get a load temp of 60c @ 3.5ghz, but I could get to 3.6ghz within 65c... be good to see if others are happy going beyond 60c?
Click to expand...

My load temps are about 65C aswell

I'm happy with that, c'mon 5 C cant make that much of a difference? :p

I've probably cut the life of my CPU down from 20 years to 15 or somthing by going 5C over the top.

Thats not a wise statement thou, I mean in this case your are prob right, it wont make much difference, but whos to say that 60c is the extra 5c that wont make a difference, and you are actually 10c over?

Theres a limit to where it can go. As I say above, 65c is probably fine, but you know what I mean!
 
Well my 6600 was running at 45-50 degrees idle, which was too hot and didn't give me confidence to clock it. Thought i'd give it a go and tried clocking it to 3ghz yesterday and it shot up to 60.

So whipped the tuniq out today, cleaned the ihs and heatsink and reapplied some as5. Now my temps are 36/37 idle, gonna let it settle in a bit and try clocking it again later. Much happier. :)

Hmm when I took out my Freezer Pro, I gave it a little bit of a clean up, but it didn't really look too bad anyways...
I have a spare 80mm fan somewhere, might dig it out and throw it in the side window and see how much of a difference it makes...
Oh and is there a way to change the speed of the fan on the Freezer Pro?
