Help a n00b overclock

Meatball · 10 May 2007 at 20:19

I've had my E6600 sitting at stock for to long now, I'm hoping to overclock today

. Here are the specs, recommended starting voltages + FSB would be appreciated.

Lian-Li PC7 Plus Aluminium
Corsair HX520
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 Rev. 3.3 (Latest BIOS)
Intel C2D E6600
2GB Geil PC6400
Tuniq Tower CPU cooler with Akasa fan
Windows Vista X64

The only problem I have is Intel TAT and CORE Temp wont work under Vista X64, are there any other programs that will reliably read my temps?

Is this due to running vista 64 ?

Try Speedfan, Everest etc.

It's running Vista x64

.

Ok Speedfan reports my temp as 33/35degrees, according to my clock it's around 20degrees. I'm currently just web browsing

Everest works fine in x64 Vista.

Tho it's not free.

I would add another 10c onto Speedfans core temps.

Plus Speedfan may not work after you reboot.

I rebooted recently

. I've installed Everest Home Edition but I can't see any temperature readings anywhere?

EDIT: I found temperatures, but it's not picking up my C2D
