Congrats, nice clocking cpu there tbh. Once you sort the cooling out I would be very tempted to push it further as you hve headroom on the vcore tbh.

Yup, I'm looking to get the tuniq tower maybe and replace my case fans with more powerful ones. With real world apps, my load temps rarely go beyond 60C.
 
Water is the way forwards! That what i would suggest! When i build my C2D rig i am going straight in!

Nice overclock, Is it very fast at that speed Ie can you see a big diffrance than it being at stock.

I can see the difference only in cpu intensive software. Winrar and quickpar are also much faster for me due to the increase memory bandwidth.
 
Hi there sms*
I find mine will run small fft's for hours too but fails rather quickly on blend (3.6GHz). How does your fare?
 
What other voltages are you using? (mch, vich, fsb). I clocked my E6600 to 3400 yesterday on a Asus P5W DH Deluxe and the temps were around 58c using an Arctic cooler 7. Everything seemed fine when I was using two incidences of SP2004 to stress test.

Today I downloaded Orthos because I read it was dual core ready. When I used that I began to get errors.

I'm a bit of a noob at this and I was a bit worried about taking the voltages too high. I went up to:

Vcore : 1.625v
Vdimm: 2.20v
Mch : 1.60v
Fsb : 1.30v
Vich : 1.20v

None of that seemed to make a difference so I ended up cutting back on my FSB to make my overall clock 3300. I'm not sure if I'm being a bit of a Mary ;)

I took it up to 1.4625 trying to get stable but now I'm back to 1.45 as that didn't work.

What's the vdroop like? What did you set in the BIOS and what do you get in windows under load/idle?

On my ASUS P5B Deluxe, I needed to set 1.5125V in the BIOS as the vdroop took it to around 1.45V actual.

I did the pencil mod and I can now set 1.45V in the BIOS and 1.43 actual steady.

I'll give it a go.

Edit: Well that seems to have made it stable at 3400 at least for the first 10 minutes in Orthos. CPU-Z is now doing that 1.213v thing but PC Probe II shows the Vcore as 1.47v. Temps now are 65c/65c in Core Temp (63c/62c in TAT). Do you think those kind of temperatures are OK?

Yes, they are fine (a little hot), but try not to make it go any higher.

Which motherboard do you have?
 
Whats this pencil mod?
I have looked through the forum and cannot find any info on it (i can be very blind at times!)
Looks like I have a similar rig to yours but just cannot seem to push my mobo past 380 FSB.

Cheers
