Quick E6600 temps question

Dyson · 6 Jul 2007 at 03:14

I have been running my E6600 at 2.93 for a few weeks now, and stepped it upto 3.0Ghz tonight. Temps underload went by about 7/8 degrees using Speedfan.

This sound right? Gone back down to 2.93 for now...

2.93 idles at about 32deg, goes to 46 under nvidia stress test.

3.00 idled at about 36/38deg, went upto 55ish under same test.

Many thanks!

hey, you changed the volts?

Nope, but I think i've left them on auto... I don't claim to be an overclocking king or anything

I've got the nvidia fan on the northbridge, 80mm intake fan, 120mm exhaust fan, and these...

What's your fan speed on the Arctic cooler, you may need to up the speed, I'm running the same CPU at 3ghz under water mine reaches 50c + when running 100%

Idles at about 1000, now that im back at 2.93 my pc sits at a nice 28degrees idle. Might just leave it, and stop being greedy!

Goes to 1600rpm at about 48 degrees

Both my E6600's @ 3.6 hit 60 under TAT and have run for 24+ hours with no problems. They have been running at this speed since I purchased them last year, though in reality they won't get that hot under normal everyday use.
