1.6v safe for e6600?

[GNU]

Bad, very bad...



Follow my recommendation quickly: sell it to me () and buy a new one to you ()!

Very funny

I would say that since Intel's engineering folks consider 1.55v as a drop-dead maximum that 1.6v would be considered unsafe.

[cir108]

When Intel says, “1.55Vcore max”, they mean that on average, 1.55V is all we can say with XZ% probability. What XZ% may be, it’s anybody guess, but it will be a very high figure. Like human capability, when we are nearing the extreme end of variation, the result is anybody’s guess. So, to play safe, less than 1.55V and it’ll last 10 years, say, and over 1.55V, “we jest dounno, boy!”. What’s there to stretch the imaginations of the minds any further… unless you are into gambling, like which way will the roach turns, 3-to-1, right, or 6-to-13, left [cos’ the breadcrumbs are on the left]. All the submissions after the 1.55Vcore “revelation” are opinions about gambling and if so, who’s putting up the money [to buy another CPU in this instance].

Absolute Truth comes from the brain whereas relative truths come from the 3 human minds and to reach the absoluteness of things, we need to have the specific consciousness switched on and thereafter, we’ll have that particular awareness [of the subject under consideration] forever, whether we’ll ever access it or not. The awareness of the 3 human minds relate to our 5 main senses whereas the awareness of the brain, a reflection of the whole cosmos [honestly mate] and is unlimited, relate to 2 additional senses, namely the 6th & 7th sense and the 5-senses cannot lie to/cheat the 6+7th senses [because Truth is what It is]. Our 5 main unenlightened senses have only one role and that is to cheat ourselves first before cheating others.

Everyone innately knows/senses/are aware, that if you pump in more Vcore, you’ll going to bugger that CPU. As to which voltage, it’s gambling for nobody can say with certainty, what voltage it will be for your CPU even though the fanboys, another name for pimps [pimping their “fame”, vanity, envy or even a secret/NDA agent for his masters] with little brains but full of the relativities of the minds, are blindly leading the pack into CPU oblivion. OK if your CPU was “sponsored” or you have tons of dosh cos’ your butt is always “switched-on”. Afterall, there’s nothing like satisfaction/hobby/”meaning for existing until I get to screw the girlfriend-gayfriend”/etc, that you’ve done Intel out of a few hundred bucks not forgetting that it costs Intel less than the cost of a E4300 to make a X6800. Because we have no means to make a CPU for the cost of a E4300 or even the dollar for a loaf of bread, just put the bloody thing to good use and forget the Big Organ syndrome. My E6600 can do 3.6@1.575V but why aren’t my :banana::banana::banana::banana:o recodes going any faster than when it was at 3.2GHZ? Because they all have varying lengths … in their content which overwhelms the differentials within a CPU range. Overclocking is not maximising your investment. That’s only what the fear & greed within the minds are telling us otherwise known as the “selling of one’s butt”. Over indulgence is called an addiction and addiction is the ability to cheat one self. Whether we are conscious of it or not.

from ancedotal reports here at XS..1.65v is going to screw the cpu..seems many except phase users who pump in 1.65v have seen a rapid issue develop within a week of use

1.6v is reported by many and high number have NO ISSUES....so to me absolute max is 1.6v (though I would not use it)

I would say that since Intel's engineering folks consider 1.55v as a drop-dead maximum that 1.6v would be considered unsafe.

thats pure speculation.



I have been running my E6600 off/on S5 B1 engineering sample w/ 1.6vcore for 10 months now on a p5b-dlx on air w/ a tuniq tower or scythe infinity. Can i say what i am running my CPU at is safe? No! But you cant say that it isnt safe either.


Anything over 1.6vcore doesnt really help with overclocking, hence why i am at 1.6vcore.


It is rather funny listening to people say what they "feel" is a good voltage. NOBODY HERE CAN SAY WHAT IS SAFE/NOT SAFE.


Do whatever you think is right. There has not been a strong link between voltage of c2d and sudden CPU death. Me personally, I have no problems taking the voltage up on the c2d's. Hell I would run on 1.7vcore 24/7 if it gave me a higher overclock. I think that type of vcore puts a lot of strain on other components, such as PSU and mobo, and thats what is more likely to cause CPU death vs the CPU itself.

My 6800 has been runing fine @ 1.5625 going on 6 months now.

wow you need that much volts for 3.6ghz, that's nuts. my e6600 only needs 1.35v for 3.6ghz. then again you have a 6800

[pH(x)]

Boy do I wish I had a P5B

wow you need that much volts for 3.6ghz, that's nuts. my e6600 only needs 1.35v for 3.6ghz. then again you have a 6800

not all cpus are created equally..maybe this was binned at near its max speed and needsome juice to get it higher

[Solarfall]

wow you need that much volts for 3.6ghz, that's nuts. my e6600 only needs 1.35v for 3.6ghz. then again you have a 6800

actually it's now at 1.32v and fully stable

[nealh]

actually it's now at 1.32v and fully stable

I wish my cpu was that sweet..congrats..never really got a sweet cpu like that

True, by Intel can and they have.

[irev210]

True, by Intel can and they have.

Yah, and they also say 1.35V MAX on the intel box also.


You can believe whatever you want to believe, but there is no magic # where you will hit CPU death zone.

Its a published tech spec for goodness sake.


Either or, as I said in my previous post, do what makes you feel comfortable.

yeah i know what you mean , my previous chip was really power hungry too. i had it running at 3.05mhz and i had to pump 1.61 to it in order to keep it fully stable.

[Dax5]

eah i know what you mean , my previous chip was really power hungry too. i had it running at 3.05mhz and i had to pump 1.61 to it in order to keep it fully stable.

that's nasty! hehe

I have used 1.6v on a box cooler on my E6600 to reach 3.8Ghz .
But just for a few hours, i think after reading this topic ill stay under the 1.6v.

sorry but don't fully understand what you mean by this

[Revv23]

i run 1.55v without issue 24/7...

YMMV though.

what cpu and setup

[GNU]

sorry but don't fully understand what you mean by this

Your previous CPU is death and hadn't survive the high voltage

[Solarfall]

LOL, actually sold it to someone for a insane amount of cash

[fhpchris]

I would run 1.55v 24-7 on the quad, but heatdump is just retarded at those voltages, so I just run 3300 @ 1.34v

Now on an E6600, I ran 1.54-1.63 24-7, but running 1.65 or even higher is asking for trouble...

Hard luck, nice

[DoomSayer]

im running mine at 1.55 atm.
if it drops dead il try to rma it if i dont get RMA il buy a new one.
