Is 1.32v too high?

Alex_6n2 · 27 Jun 2008 at 22:15

Got my Q6600 (not G0) at 1.32v for 2.7Ghz (333x8) on my Asus Blitz which from what I've seen elsewhere looks a bit high?

It runs really hot (55deg idle atm

) so I'd like to lower it but I swear it wasn't stable on all 4 cores at anything less.

Any tips?

nope 1.32 is fine

although your idle temps look a bit high that on stock cooler

B3 cores are hot but it is does seem a tad high, what is it load?

Alex_6n2 · 27 Jun 2008 at 22:44

Goes upto 75 on load on core 1. I know it needs lapping because temps can vary across the cores by 10 degrees or so.

I'm using a Tuniq Tower 120 with AS5 so it shouldn't be this high?

yup thats warm.. I would try re-seating the heatsink first before you get the sandpaper out

Jokester · 27 Jun 2008 at 22:49

Yeah, make sure you're getting good contact.

Just reseated it. Didn't look too good when I took it off, didn't look like there was enough TIM on there. There's just the right amount on now but it's not made any difference

Can TiM go off? I've had this tube of AS5 for ages

Not really, should be ok for years.

Alex_6n2 · 28 Jun 2008 at 14:39

Well I've just finished lapping it, idle temps down to around 40 with 2degrees difference across the cores, load temps down to 55.

Not bad

Nope, I run the above 24/7 folding away like a mutha licker.... not a problem

you needed 1.32v to get your b3 to 2.7 ? Maybe im just lucky to get my b3 to 9x333 at 1.275 around 40ish full load

Alex_6n2 · 29 Jun 2008 at 13:03

Yea I know

It boots on much less volts but prime95 has errors on 1 or more cores at anything less :/
