What kind of OCs/temps are people seeing on Intel quads with water?

[Speederlander]

The quads run very hot OC'd. How hot? What are people seeing for OC's on air, and especially, water? What temps do you get with your OC?

P5B DX, Q6600ES, Tower120

3.4ghz

I have a 3.6ghz (450x8) 1.46v (70-75c loaded)...on my bench harddrive...i'll post tomorow

[Speederlander]

I ask because someone was claiming you should be able to do "4 GHz easy" quad on water. And, not owning one myself, I recalled the high temps people are getting on OC'd quads. So I was doubting it heavily.

[Supertim0r]

no way you could run a 4ghz quad on normal water
maybe chiller water, extremely good chip, modded board and probably only stable for benching

Yes, for a useless computer. Not real computer.

Real computer = 5-10 hours of prime95.

useless computer = boot into windows, cpu-z screenshot, superpi 512K, etc.

It'd be awesome if it could actually do that, but I really doubt it'd be stable, regardless of cooling.

There's no way you'd get 4GHz out of normal chip. My QX6700 B1 only does about 3.4 stable under my APOGEE. Load temps are 70C or so. I will be replacing the APOGEE with a better block very soon though

QX6700 with D975XBX2 not ocked runs very hot on me.

idle: 40-45
Full load: 80-85

I think there is nothing one the market now that beats the Apogee by more than 2-3 degrees on a Kentsfield. Could be the Apogee is the best even.

70c coretemp or socket temp?

As long as you're under 80 coretemp at load, you have no worries about throttling/reboots.

[Methylphenidate]

That would be socket temp, and I know there's nothing on the market that's much better than the APOGEE. The block I'm getting might not necessarily be on the market quite yet

Same temps here. Which cooler are you using? I am using a Tuniq Tower 120 and even after reseating things I can't get temps down.

Have Kentsfield QX6700 on Air at the moment on my P5B Dlx (about to switch to my WiFi version).

@350 x 10 with orthos load running 5+ hours my temps are (depending on room temp) 69-77c or (if it is too hot in room, over 80c)

@ 400 x 9 I definitely run over 80 with Orthos after a half hour or so.

I was using Vanessa (large version) for the above results. By the way idle used to be 50-55 and not 40-45 (typo sorry)

Changed to water and idle is now 40-45 full load is 60-65 ..
