| Apex Advanced Techie  |  Q6600 Safe? Hi all, I recently picked up a Q6600 g0 and i did my first O/C, it is currently @3ghz with 1.2V .I ran Prime95 overnight with no errors and temp's are idling at 26c full load at 41c(From RealTemp), but i would just like to know if it is safe to run at 1.2V....Also while im at it these are readings from different Temp Programs Bios:23c RealTemp:32c,26c,31,36 SpeedFan:22c,16c,21c,16c TaT:38c,41c Well you see there all different....Wich one would be most accurate? Thx | |

| Apex Advanced Techie | Re: Q6600 Safe? Amazingly my Q6600 is cooled by a TT Silent Tower with 2x90mm fans on it, I was considering on getting a Zalman 9700 but it looks like the Silent Tower does the job.It was also used on my old Prescott P4 O/Ced @3.6Ghz idle:35c, Full load:48-51  Last edited by xplod; 28-March-08 at 04:23 AM. | |

Those temperatures are after ten minutes of 100% load using OCCT. Is everyone else measuring load temps in a similar way? I'm pretty sure my heatspreader isn't flat and I have a lapping kit in my drawer but I'm really not that bothered. The chip requires horrendous amounts of vCore anyway and I won't raise it above 1.5v, the load temps being nicely within thermal spec, so I'm happy to leave it for now until Intel launches a better chip. The Yorkfields have very low multipliers so I might just wait for Nehalem. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

You're going to need a whole new kit for Nehalem though, won't you? I heard they're retiring 775 with those chips. Sorry for the derailed and stolen thread ... -godling | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yeah, new motherboard and 4GB of DDR3 I think.....  Back to xplod....push that thing further! You should be able to do at least 3.5ghz. But make sure your chip does not go higher than 70c - that is about the maximum temperature Intel recommends. If you can, overclock with the 8x multiplier. It will give you a higher FSB and therefore better performance clock-for-clock than using 9x. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
