Overclocking temps

zykan · 19 Dec 2008 at 00:07

I'm overclocking a q6600, but it's a b3 revision, so it runs a bit toasty.
I'm on 1.25v, 333FSB(3ghz) and im gettin IBT temps of 70-75, is this acceptable?

Cheers, Si

Should be ok for ibt, whats it like with prime95? ive heard that the b3's run quite a bit warmer than go stepping's. Youre unlikely to get temps as high in normal use.

whats better for testing your system after an oc? ibt or prime95?

Every one will have different opinions on this, ibt will stress the system more in a shorter time scale to give a good indication of stability, whereas 8+ hours is the minimum reccomended for prime95 small fft as an indicator, ibt also tends to generate higher temps than p95.
