e6600 O.C with different room temp.

[fc4ever]

my stable record was when room temp is below 24, on air, 3.6g/1.34v.
idle temp is 32degrees orthos load is 55.

But when my room temp increase to like 28 degrees, i have to raise my vcore to 1.40v or 1.42v to be stable.idle is like 45degrees, and orthos load is like 68. If i use 1.34vcore, it has a lil better temps but consitantly fail the orthos test in 1 min.

So there comes the problem, if its the temp that affects the o.c stability, why is that when i increase vcore , i get higher temps but i get stable o.c? and i can't use the 1.34v vcore anymore to be stable.

Wat u guys think?
will watercooling solve all these problem?

my spec is in my sig.

Overvolting directly improves stability but at the same time it increases power consumption, which in turn leads to overheating, which causes instability. It's all about the balance between these 2 effects. As you start raising the voltage, at first you get better stability because the first effect is stronger then the second. However, if you keep on raising the voltage, you will see diminishing returns because the heat production will become so great that it will surpass the cooling system's capability to remove it, the temperature will rise and it will overcome the stabilizing effect that the higher voltage had in the first place. Remember that power consumption grows exponentially, not proportionally, when increasing the voltage: for eg. if you double the voltage, the power consumption will increase 4 times, if you triple the voltage, the power will increase 9 times etc. (this is purely hypothetical so don't you go doubling any voltage in your system, you hear? :D )
