Thanks bro owikh84! no more worries.. I'm looking forward for water cooling setup in future..

no problem, the limit is 98'c

What is the safe temp for Sandy Bridge ?
My 2700k temperature is touching 90'C when running IBT while Prime95 85'C.

Using Corsair H60

Hi all otai2 & all sandy bridge overclocker..im new in oc, a bit confusing on oc bclk & ram.. i just want to oc proc only but if i put bclk 103 ~ 105 to acieve desire proc speed, do i need to touch vtt/qpi?

depends on IMC of the CPU, some might need to increase the VTT to make higher RAM speed stable. Some just don't need to do so.

hi Pro Overclockerz and Sifuz ! ....

nid to ask a question regarding the CMV6GT and 2600K Performance ...

ive did prime test about 1 hour with V6GT running at 3.8GHZ ! .... d temp after 1 hour is 62C in full load / idle was 38C ..... is diz ok ??? ..... or too hot ??

im using arctic mx-4 ... and V6GT has been replaced with arctic f12 PWM x 2 !! push / Pull COnfig ! ....

can tell me izz da temp ok ?? or i nid to do sumthin ?? thx ! ... help very much appreciated !! ...

Thats seems to be quite high.. i supposed u not OC it? Or did u??
Might be the base of the cooler not seated perfectly hence the thermal not dissipate nicely through the cooler's..
Or ur cooler not functioning well?? The radiator, fans ect...

My i5 never exceed 55-60°C on my Tuniq in full load during prime95, and its OC to 4.5GHZ.. just for sharing..

Added on March 21, 2012, 1:02 amUr temp is quite nice.. but i guess u can get more from ur 2600k.. heard it can be push to get 5.0ghz on air cooling!! (but i wouldnt dare to do so, need to prolong my cpu, 4.5 is enough for my daily apps)
But not all chip of cpu are the same, some can get higher, some just so so only.. but the diff is not that far..

Anyway, some quote from our OC master @owikh84:

OCed 4.6GHz (sig) VCore 1.360~1.368 cpuid reading, I dont think your temp is achievable. Some pages back some guy also achieve same temperature as me using the same cooler. i7 is very much hotter than i5 at same GHz.

I'm using push-pull, a 2400rpm high speed ball bearing as push fan. Should I reapply TIM ?

Ooo yeap sory forgot to look out to ur siggy there..

Well, re-applying TIM should help reduce the heat a bit guess..

Or u might try to use other cooler if u can get one and compare it.. The CM hyper 212+ is a cheaper cpu cooler but have a good reviews on the net.. just to make sure if u have extra ringgit. Can get it below 100 i guess..

Already using H60 now, can't be downgrading to air 212+ right ?

Anyway, here is the picture I mentioned some pages back (2600k instead of 2700k).
Sorry couldn't find out which page and don't know who is the poster.

I guess need to wait for master owikh84 to answer ur concerns here..

But a lot of Ocer master here say, the best WC setup is the custom one, Not to say ur H60 is not good but the best result is from the custom setup with the best component out there.. but its very costly and risky.. thats the reason i always choose a conventional cooler with a fan + heatsink.. a little bulky but simple to me..

That's bcoz im not a true Ocer, just so so only.. hehe

But what cooler does he use?? same as u?

Found it, he is using H70

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=47406541

Custom H20 is the best I know, but for peace of mind and simplicity I went for closed loop sealed H60.

keep your chip lower than 80C to avoid degradation. H60 is not really a good cooler for stress tests. Custom watercooling is the only way for torture test at such CPU frequency.

i7 is hotter due to the extra threads - HT.
when stressing with Prime95 & LinX, be sure to use the latest version & on Win7 SP1 & stress full amount of RAM available. That's around 10-20C difference between SP1 & non-SP1. Prime95 usually produces less heat/ lower temps than LinX.

wow!! your MAX TEMP same as my 2700k on cm hyper 212+...we need custom water cooling to push this baby up to the sky..

Same like you ler, I got this processor via "Intel staff price"

oooooh, i see...haven't saw your post in his thread..

My overclock not stable !! Have to increase VCCIO based on the suggestion here http://www.overclock.net/t/1120291/solving...e-read-op-first

I'm priming FFT 1344 now, was getting random 124 BSODs after like 15mins. Now so far so good, almost 1hour already still stable with 1.08125V VCCIO.

Question: Is 1.08125 VCCIO safe for everyday use ?

its fine. i used to run it at 1.1 but now use auto coz i run 3.4ghz only. zzzz

Stable for 1 hour 1344FFT, but hang while loading into battle in Shogun2 zzz !
