What have people taken their 6700's to on stock cooling?

I ask as I am using MSI's DOT, or Dynamic Overclocking Technology, which overclocks your CPU automatically if you are utilising 100 percent of its capacity. On an MSI P6N SLI. I crashed out of CSS at 10% overclock. But so far at 5% it ran at 2.88 in game and stable. Just intrigued.

What are you using to overclock? How are your temps?

As for temps 67 on load.

You should just clock by upping the FSB and playing with voltages int he bios. Any automatic clocking tool is going ot be utter ***

i havent got stock cooling but i have my e6700 at 3.3 on stock volatge just a fsb change.

don't faff about with software ocing tools... just go into the bios, up the fsb, and do it the proper way

Ok stopped using MSI overclocking tool and went into the bios and raised FSB -nothing else. At present I have it at 1200 and mem unchanged at 800. In CPU-Z it shows clock running at 3000.00. Which is the number I was looking for. This is reinforced in the MSI utility that reads clock frequency.

But...

In CPU-Z I see that the multiplier is fluctuating between x6 and x10. So this shows the frequency alternating between 1800 and 3000.

Why is this?

thats speedstepping, it reduces temps when the cpu is idle.

 

[AnastieByte]

Thanks for that.

Ran orthos for 20 mins temp on cpu went up to 75 C. Is that ok under stress testing?

 

[Johnboyjoe]

certainly wouldn't want it to get much hotter than that.

 

[AlanJ]

Yeah seems a little toasty, personally i'd aim for 60/65 load

 

[AnastieByte]

Cheers all. I will knock it back slightly. All stable though, no crashes or burnt electrics smell

A bit of advice ditch the stock cooling if you want to overclock.

Look at either the Tuniq Tower or Atctic Cooling Freezer 7 if funds are a bit tight.

Cheers. Already decided to do that.

got my E6750 at 3.2 on my P35C-DS3R with artic cooler freezer 7 using the automatic overclocking thingy in bios

i have my E6750 at 3.2 on stock cooling and 3.4 for benchmarks
