Really ticked off with my Q6600 temperatures

Here's my G0 @ 3.75Ghz running Windows with VMware server. 2x VM with linux 64bit folding with 2x SMP clients... been on for over a week now :D

Those are great temps for the voltage, but again it's a G0.


B3's do run hot. Mine under water (and also linuxSMP folding on a pair of VMware VM's), at a lower speed and far less vcore-

Your right COB... i won't even bother to post my B3 temps... Native Linux with 2x Linux VM's, 3Ghz with 1.585vcore AC7 pro... mid 70's. :eek: But it's been going at that 24/7 for months on end now.
 
With quads its just a constant battle against the temps. Especially when b3 quads are concerned, i'll be glad when the q9550 is on sale and dump my b3 for something that hopefully runs much cooler.

Gonna be interesting when octacore hits as to how many pounds of copper slab needs attached to the cpu :p

I can see where you are coming from, but there is a flaw in your argument;)

The main benefit of it running cooler at stock volts is that you can put more volts through it and overclock it higher, so you will always end up with whatever temperature you are comfortable with.:eek:
 
I am hoping that's a typo. Maybe 1.385v

But a couple in DC forum have G0's that won't go above 2.7ghz without silly voltage.
 
I've got 3 B3 Xeon 3210's that I've stripped out of Dell servers that will do 333x8 at stock volts then need 1.6V+ (Gigabyte P35 BIOS figure) to go beyond that, but once you give them 1.6V they're great. White hot, but great clockers (425x8 type of stuff).
