Q6600 core temp difference

frustin · 5 Nov 2007 at 11:48

i have an 9 degree core temp difference on two of my four cores. i applied the AS5 as it says in the instructions. I have four prime95's running at a time. I'm using a Ninja Rev.B.

whats the highest safe temperature for the Q6600?

at load mine are (using CoreTemp):

c0 - 68
c1 - 77
c2 - 68
c3 - 77

Yes i am using CoreTemp (i mislabled the name in the first post) those are under load (four instances of prime95). The room was closed off overnight and it was roasting in there this morning.

yes i used the guide above. idle temps are about 40's. i had my vcore at about 1.44V. oc'ing to 3gig @ 333x9.

i have the stacker 830 with 5 fans attached.

I'll re-seat tonight.

i think the heat of the room is a big factor. it was bloody hot in there this morning.

no but i was hoping to get more than 3gig out of it.

i've already lapped both my cpu and the heatsink. i think i've done a good job on them you cant see light behind them on any side. you can at the very edges.

i think i am stuffed. i wont be able to raise the vcore to more than 1.4 by the looks of things without better cooling.
