OEM bought this week. 3.0Ghz, prime still running after 6 hours. Temps 57c (Tuniq 120) default Vcore 1.23 in cpu-z.

Edit: Now @ 3.2Ghz, vcore up to 1.3150. Temps now 51c (after rearranging my case air flo), prime 4 hoiurs stable so far. Ram @ 1:1 default timings, 2.1v.

Purchased 'GO' version this week, 3Ghz stable on default vcore, had it upto 3.4 however I've not had chance to stress test that high yet. Temps appear decent on idle using Scythe Infinity with two 120mm Akasa Ambers mounted in push pull style (43/42/36/37c).

Woot. Lapping kit arrived along with two more raptors!

Is that from OcUK ? If so what batch is it and what vid does it show in core temp ?

Yes it's from OCUK. It's a Go chip and the vid is 1.2750. It's now running @ 3.4Ghz, 1.34v(Cpu-z) average temps 56c. Where do I get the batch info from? Is that the FPO#?

 

[Devious]

Yeah FPO#

 

[Bony Maloney]

Prime has been stable for 5 hours now

New Q6600 & new water cooling.



Only been going an hour and a half but nice vcore/temps and all cores are very similar.
Looks promising

 

[Marse]

Looks like you got yourself that low VID chip.

Another 6.5 hrs to go but looking good.

Your temps are nearly as low as mine - but I'm not stress testing.

Im about 2 hours into prime with my new slacr - its an awesome chip, im at 3.6ghz so far, but ive not finished my tweakage, all on silent air too

 

[fornowagain]

Big step in volts for 3.8 prime (3.6@1.44v), pushing it with this HSF (Ultra-120).

Ok ok ok, now i don't want to be killing me q6600 or anything like that so as it stands i'm clocked at 3.2ghz fsb at 1424 mhz and after about 40 mins on crysis demo my cpu temp is @ 45 degrees, and idles around 38 degrees. Is there anything i should be keeping an eye?

using speed fan to verify temps

Have you benched Prime95 for 8 hours minimum to test for stability?

 

[turner0410]

If i'm being honest my pc will never even be on for more than 4 hours, let alone 8!!

 

[psychas]

well is those temp ok? and for some reason in bios im on 1.4v and in cpu-z its like 1.336 is it suppose to be like that ?

 

[9zap]

im getting mine in morning so...this weeks go seem to be doing ok will post up after primeing

hey guys, what do you think is a 24/7 reasonable overclock for Ultra 120 Extreme? (just installed mine)

currently at 60c in 1.4v in bois, 1.37v Everest, 3.2Ghz.

and shall i lower FPS and use x9 or simply raise the FPS?

 

[dC2006]

That is very high temp for that overclock or vcore (is that idle/under load?). If the cooler is mounted all ok and various temp sensors are reading correctly then I think its a case of you having to lap your cooler. I had to do lap mine as it was not completely flat thus was making bad contact and giving silly temps. My temps currently are 33c (idle) 1.47vcore @ 3.75Ghz, speedstep off.
