Q6600 Overclock..

Vigoro · 27 Aug 2008 at 14:39

Should i be worried that my core 0 and 1 are almost 10 degrees hotter than the other two while running a blend test on prime 95?

Core 0: 71
Core 1: 72
Core 2: 64
Core 3: 62

Reading from coretemp.

Currently on 400x9 and 1.375 volts

Using a ocz Vanquisher. <---Rubbish ^^

Ive never had a difference that large between cores. Is it stable at that speed?

How is the difference between temps when idle?

could try re-mounting the heatsink 10c is a bit of a margin although not uncommon... if that fails you could try lapping

Looks normal to me.. Core 1+2 are usually 6-8C higher than 3 and 4 on my Q6600.. should be nothing to worry about, but saying that 70's is a bit higher than you should be aiming at.

Does your case have good airflow? It just seems very hot for such a low voltage.

My core 0 is normally 8-9C higher than core 3, idle and under full load. As the temps scale equally it's never worried me too much.

The heatsink is awkward to get at to lap. The temps aint extremely high, however my sting mod in my p182 seems to of worked and dropped the temps by 5-6 degrees and only 5 degrees difference between cores now
