Is this where I stop the madness, E6600 @ 3.3GHz stock

[Larsson85]

Sinec I want a tuniq tower, and noone seems to be willin to sell theirs, and it will take a while for the stores to get them I decided to go with stock cooling while waiting.

Right now I'm running 367 * 9 on my E6600 and the temp is about 58C and MB 50C. I had it up at 370*9, but then the temperature was 60-62C and I think thats to hot. What do you think, is 58C a temperature I can live with while waiting for my real cooling?

Another question, when bios shows that PCI E clock is auto, does that mean it's locked?

oops, new peak at 59C here now

[Gun_Strife]

what were temps at stock speeds
and ur at stock voltages, you just upped the fsb correct?

[Larsson85]

Dont know what stock voltage was, I OC:ed it to 2.8 directly, then continued :) Now I'm running vcore at 1.4V and pc probe reads 1.35V. Think stock is somewhere about 1.2

[Larsson85]

just installed speedfan. Speedfan show 3 temps instead of the 2 that asus own program shows. The third temperature in speedfan is 126C. Where is the "temperature 3" sensor supposed to be located and can I just ignore it? You would think that asus own program should know which temperatures that are important and real.

an other problem is that the cpu temperature decides to jump up tp 256C once in a while and directly down again. Probably a bug, but I tought you might wanna know.

My week 26 B2 seems to be quite good so far. I'm on the Gigabyte DS-3 and I can do dual prime stable for at least 10 min (I stopped it after 10 min just because I never do anythingt that loads the CPU like that) at about 1.356 volts which is a slight bump from stock, at 3.42 ghz

That seems pretty toasty!!

My E6600 OC'd to 3.3 @1.475 Vcore does 28 degrees idle and 35 degrees torture @19 ambient with a Scythe Infinity.

I'd forget about waiting for the TT. The Infinity is probably better and is avail.

What are you monitoring with? CoreTemp temps are waay higher than say, Smartguardian. My coretemp load in SG is around 35c, in CoreTemp its 55c for dual prime

That is a nice result, however your voltage is a bit more than just a 'slight bump' from stock. I believe stock voltage is about 1.18 or 1.20.

Funny thing!

UgurU shows 44 and core temp beta 09091 shows 52 degrees. mine E6600@3330 1.425v load. whats the right temp????

I don't think stock vcore is that low. 1.325 is stock on my DS3 and E6400, so it can't be LOWER for a faster proc.

1.325V is stock for all C2D's.

[Andypro1]

1.325V is stock for all C2D's.
Holy crap. you're kidding me!?

Whoops, I had been undervolting mine then lol

[fornowagain]

Its anthing from 0.850V-1.3525V

[fornowagain]

The lower values are ONLY when EIST kicks in and lowers the multiplier on the CPU to drop to a slower speed.

As stated before, the STOCK voltage on ALL C2D chips at their max multipliers is 1.325V. There is no difference from the E6300 all the way up to the X6800.
Just out of interest, why's it say 1.3525V on the sheet, is that EIST?
And on the spec sheet it says Vcc max 1.55v and VID 0.85-1.3625v, how's that work.

With a Scythe Ninja I was running at 60C under load. Doesn't seem the stock cooler is a whole lot different. From what I've been able to find out, 58C doesn't seem too terribly high for air. I take it that's under load?

[fornowagain]

Vcc max is the top threshold the chips will take (that they are rated for). This gives Intel headroom to up the clock frequency in the future w/ some voltage bumps as well.
Thats not what I asked. I'd think the Vcc is more related to the silicon 65nm process from past experience.

1.325?
