Hi

I have just clocked my e6600 to 3.2, the good news its stable but not sure if it running to hot. When i run easy tune 5 these are the reading it shows under pc health, do these look correct?

Voltage
ITEM V
VcoreA 1.440
+3.3v 3.290
+12v 12.110
CPU Vid 1.320

Temperature
ITEM oC/oF
System 39/102
CPU 35/95


MY RIG GIGABYTE P35 DS4, E6600, 2GB OF OCZ, 3870 512.
 
Download Core Temp and see what it's temps are like after a 10min run of Orthos or Prime95 small FFTs. That'll give you a better idea of your temps. (your vcore seems quite high for 3.2ghz tho).
 
i used to clock a E6600 managed to get 365 * 9, 1.375v thats 3.28 stable


albeit with watercooling though
 
Ok maybe im do this all wrong. All I did was go into the bios put my volts on auto and raised my front side bus to make 3.2. I lowed my ram to 800. Should i be doing anything different? I a bit of a noob when it comes to clocking cheers for any help.

Mines now on 375 * 9, 1.3850v which is 3.37Ghz stable, and it runs around 55C on air ;)

I'm also an OC newb, but I think you're supposed to control the voltage manually. You could try setting it to around 1.45V and see if you can boot in. If it bluescreens, stick it up a notch and try again, and see what the lowest Vcore you can get into windows and stress the CPU is. With air, you don't really want to be going above 1.5V.

Take the CPU voltage off Auto. Try setting it to 1.4v and see where that gets you.
 
Look slike you have a crap CPU Vid 1.320 like me, that's the same, and by all accounts isn't the best/ However, I get 3.2ghz, but no matter what voltage I can't get it stable at 3.3ghz and above... can get ti to boot in windows at 3.5ghz but I want 24/7 and folding stability... so you may struggle above 3.2ghz unless you have a Intel chipset...
