Great idle temps for a Q6600 @ 3ghz.

MiNxYyY · 12 Jul 2008 at 13:56

that is with 1.4v also,only way it will pass a prime stress test.

:O why not?they ridiculously low or stupidly high?

Pneumonic · 25 Jul 2008 at 18:35

well now you have asked...

Idle @ 3.2

MiNxYyY · 25 Jul 2008 at 18:37

thats just like adding salt to the wound

what cooler is that your using?

Pneumonic · 25 Jul 2008 at 18:37

Lapped TRUE and Q6600

Pneumonic · 25 Jul 2008 at 18:38

But yours are very nice temps I am just abnormal

MiNxYyY · 25 Jul 2008 at 18:49

why u idle @ 3.2 when your sig says 4ghz?

Speedstep. It throttles the processor when the extra speed isn't needed.

This isn't fair, my processor was idling at 42C (hot room). After remounting the cooler and cleaning dust about 10 minutes ago, I am down to around 37C to 40C. Sounds hot, but this thing is running at 3.24GHz with 1.45V running through it. It isn't too bad for an E4300.

1.4v for 3ghz :eek:

1.4v used to get me around 3.6-3.75ghz

I ran @ 4ghz for the prime95 run only

no point putting my Q6600 through that day-to-day for little real world benefit, I can run day-to-day @ 3.725 and have my fans at sensible speeds but again for surfing / messing around on games, etc... I dont see the point tbh

Have the 3.725 saved as a profile in the BIOS so quick re-boot if I need some more power for encoding etc..

MiNxYyY · 25 Jul 2008 at 19:03

so when your not idle,are you still @ 3.2 or you go to 3.6/3.8?

Pneumonic · 25 Jul 2008 at 19:06

well that was taken at 3.2 "idle" with speedstep disabled, but I normally idle @ 2.4ghz as I have speedstep enabled

Nice temps mate - def doing well for summer. I had very similar temps in the winter, but currently idling ar 40,39,42,41 @ 3.6 (450*8) @ 1.49 vcore (in bios).

Pneumonic · 25 Jul 2008 at 20:03

yeah I am at pretty low vcore for 3.2ghz only 1.224v load (windows), so thats probably some of the difference as MinxYyY your CPU's VID is pretty high
