Finally a stable overclock I'm happy with :)

Finally! Got my E6600 to a decent stable overclock I'm happy with, can't complain with an extra 1.1Ghz per core for free can I?

May try for 3.6 eventually but on air maybe it's pushing it slightly..

Temps are fine I think, although hits 60-62 degrees a couple of times under Orthos blend and vcore is 1.50v. Slackened the RAM timings to 5-5-5-15 but everything is very nippy and can't tell the difference anyway. Anyway am happy.

Awesome clock, I'm still stock on my E6600. I'm running Orthos now, 68, 67c. Toasty! That is on load of course, what heatsink do you use to cool it?

looks like freezer 7 is used (looking at sig).

rounddodger · 5 Oct 2007 at 19:32

Yeah just using a cheap old Arctic Freezer 7 with AS5.

Idle temps are 26-30 and max load @ 3.5Ghz is 62 under top-end Orthos bashing.

Lol, nice. I think I may invest in one of them for my E6600 then. Does the Arctic 7 require removal of the board?

Just bought myself an Artic Freezer 7 for my E6600, think I might have a go at getting to 3.6

.

For 17 quid (or whatever I paid) you can't complain.

Was a bitch to get it clipped in tho, at times I have to put massive pressure to get all 4 clips to lock in. Thought the mobo was gonna snap in half!
