E6600 at 1.8V?

[Hamilton]

Right now I'm running 3888MHz at 1.6V with a stock Vapo LS.

Anything higher will crash Orthos within 30mins.
At 4014MHz I can take a screenshot but that's all... :(

Next voltage setting on this DS3 is 1.8V.
Do I dare give that much to the CPU even if it is under phase??? :explode: :confused:

I don't think the Stock Vapo will be able to handle the load very well. It will for short benches, but for stability tests the CPU will heat up quite a bit. 1.8v at +-0C is a bit too much.

[jimmyz]

for a short period maybe, but i doubt you will see much more speed if it scales that poorly.mine will run 4ghz @ 1.34 on phase. just tweak what you got stable and call it maxxed. i don't think you will get much more out of it.

The phase cooling will help some, but If you really wanna see more, change the mobo brand. :)

just 3880 under a vapo , change your 6600, it s very bad :/

Crazy as it may sound, have you tried dropping the vCore? My E6600 clocks much better at around 1.575-1.6v than it does at 1.65v (on air)

If you want more vcore but the BIOS isn't giving small enough increments, you could do a hard vcore mod, hook up a trimpot and tune it to whatever you like?

I run my e6600 at 1.65V 24/7 and bench 4.1+ G at 1.7V on water at around 60C full load.1.8V will post at 4.25G but no boot.I am going to try 2 Rads and see.I think you should be fine with phase,the only prob Ive had with high volts is burning the vrs off the mb.I have yet to see the " I,ve burnt my 775cpu with to much voltage " thread.

dont try 1.8v with stock vapo. you'll kill your chip too soon... at least regass it first and tune for high heat load and you might use high vcore...

[Hamilton]

Reading all the replies here and at Hardforum I'll just leave it where it is at 3888MHz and 1.6V and not push it any further. Can't afford a new cpu right now...
But maybe later in the summer I'll get a new DFI Infinity P965-S mobo and E6600 that clocks a bit better.

[andre X_X]

i think having your Vapo modified to hold load better would be a good choice... it doesnt cost too much though... take a look at vapor phase change section....

I agree, get the vapo regassed and tuned for ~200 watts, perhaps a bit more, and then try again. Try reseating the evap also, perhaps you have only partial contact?

[andre X_X]

you might want it to tune for Quad Cores as the price will drop drastically on July 22nd :D

[Nosfer@tu]

Contact Overclockk, he is in norway I belive ?

[Hamilton]

Thanks Nosfer@tu,

Might just do that! When financial situation looks a bit better... ;)
Right now I can play any current game at 1280x1024 (max for my monitor) at max settings with full AA and AF turned on which is still not too bad! :)

[Nosfer@tu]

how are you sure it needs 1.6 Vcore :)
Did you test it with Orthos at less than 1.6 Vcore?

If you are sure try and give it 1.8, that is why you have phase :)
I would belive that 1.8 Vcore and around 4 Ghz is about 200 watt.
So why not try :)

If nothing works, try selling it and go to a E4400 with 10 in multi :)
And because they are a newer reversion they run VERY good.

I sold my E6600 and bougth the E4300, it does 415x9 on water.

My freind is testing his E4300 on air and a sunon extreem fanand hitting 419x9 on a Asus P5B delux :)

but with 10xmulti you can domuch better :D
