P5B Wifi + e6600 overclock

I have never had the stock cooler fitted but with the Scythe and the Noctua temperatures both at stock and overclocked have been on a par, this also goes for idle/load temperatures. The temperatures withe the Scythe and Noctua are consistent.

Based on that I am guessing:

Not fitted both the Scythe and Noctua heatsinks correctly on several occasions.
The reported temperature is wrong.
The CPU IHS is concave.

Probably both these IMO.

Doubt you could fit it wrong that many times, unless you have never fitted a HSF before, and even then, id doubt it.

I think I will order a lapping kit.

I have just just set the vCore to 1.2v and turn both exhuast fans to full in the Antec P182. Aso the window is open and the PC is directly under that window.

The result, idle temp now at.....

39'c !!!!

I am struggling to push my 6600 over 3GHz.

I have tried various setting but basically 375 x 8 is the highest stable setting I have reached.

could be your memory - i used to have geil and that was holding me back on my p5b wi-fi. so sold it and got corsair - no more problems

i also had to disable the static read control.

and it prob wont make any diff but you need to swap the peg/pci option round
