REBUILT SYSTEM w/ EXTREME 6850 (safe temps?)

qkon2whlz · 28-February-08, 11:14 AM

OK I FINNALY DID IT!
i went from a core 2 duo 6700, to a CORE 2 QUAD 6600, and now im @ the peak of my performance cpu I NOW HAVE A CORE 2 EXTREME QX6850! YES!

not to mention i got me 2 new sweet GRPHX cards (check signature)
MAN THIS STUFFS ADDICTIVE!

anyways i have started to OC my cpu with the multiplier and put it to x10 it went up to 3.33 mhz
dont need to change my volts yet but i will

but my question is this
my temps with watercooling system say 41 C (with PC wizard) as of now so just how hot can these things run before you need to worry about damage?

bump?

Check temps with CoreTemp.

Core Temp

My Q6600 under water does 60c under full load using OCCT. The chips should shut down when they reach the maximum safe temperature - CoreTemp can tell you what this is. But in general you want to avoid anything higher than 70c.

Or TAT (Intels Thermal Analysis Tool).

Lol, TAT still doesn't support quad cores. Tells me I have a Pentium M

Gives me temps for two of the cores though.

Thats because it was made specifically for Pentium M CPUs on laptops nub

I wouldn't hold out for a Quad core version.
