Hi.

I just want to know from all you owners of E6600's purchased in june what your overclocks are, apparently E6600's aint as good at overclocking now as the older ones were back when they came out.

So what are you overclocks if your purchased an E6600 in june, just wondering since thats the time I got mine and my CPU seems to hit a brick wall at 3.4Ghz, runs fine at 3.3Ghz by looks of it.


Thanks
Willz.
 
Mine is 6B2, I to find the other info I need to take the cooler off, dont know if I want to do that tho, its a nightmare to get the cooler back on.

Maybe it could be my mobo that is making it not overclock high.

I'm going to try 3GHz on stock volts today, my guess is it wont boot, I am trying 1.7V at 3.3 atm to see if that will work.

Woops, typing error, I meant 1.47V :p

Just got an error the group policy has stopped working, as soon as I click close Windows will crash, guess it needs 1.5V for 3.3.

If I dont click it Orthos reports no errors, and everything works, so think its ok? But strange things are going on, just now Aero kind of stopped, reverted to Windows classic, then back to Aero :confused:
 
I aint loosing sleep over it, I am sticking to 3.2Ghz at 1.45V, thats orthos stable, I might be able to get away with 1.4V for everything else.

Hi got my E6600 at the beginning of June, i have it sat nicely @ 3.5Ghz 12 hours orthos stable on air using Zalman CNPS7500LED flower cooler.

Idle temps are 52 and load temps are 69

CPU is lapped though and mounted with AS5, btw vCore = 1.425

Surely my mobo must be holding my CPU back, I mean 1.45 Vcore for 3.2Ghz here, 28 idle and 55 load, using some OCZ stuff, it is litrally AS5 tho.

I need 1.425v to get the same overclock with similar temps. There was a bad batch of E6600 around april/may, maybe you got one of those. Don't worry about it too much, how much difference is it really going to make getting to 3.4 or a bit higher.

I dunno, but with the Vdroop the voltage is infact 1.38V at 3.2Ghz which makes me think my temps are not good, today coz of really hot temps, 58 load, 34 idle, even 55 load aint good.
