Scythe Ninja.... Priming at 3.22GHz now CoreTemp read 59C

Try not to boot using any IDE devices but only the SATA HDD itself.

Initially mine have problem to boot when I plugged in my PATA HDD, everything goes fine without it. Later I got myself a IDE controller and attached my PATA HDD to it, now my problem is solved.

is it the ICH8 chipset issue?

nice result!

yeah, tampoi, did u lap ur IHS ? and does ur CoreTemp shows same temp as easytuner/speedfan?
if yes, u might be lucky to have c2d with a good contact betwen ihs and core.

--------------

btw below is my temp with E6600 and zalman ncp9500 led (if i not mistaken )

temp is quite good compared with stock fan (85c) and ninja with fan at above my graphic card (74c) .. all i mentioned are CoreTemp temperature*

ambient temp around 30c

dualprime is done with side panel closed in my Antec P180, vcore @ 1.45v in bios, vmch 0.2, vfsb 0.1, vpcie 0.1

this E6600 is so hot compared to my previous E6300 @ 3.15v..

will replacing the thermal paste eradicate this problem?

u need to remove the IHS to solve the problem.. but beware intel proc IHS removal is very risky, compare to k8 processor..

thermal paste is on top of the IHS, below the heatsink. the contact between base of the heatsink and the IHS might be good, but the problem for conroe is the IHS is concave at the center, and that means the center of ur heatsink doest not touch the center of the IHS well.. and below the center of the IHS is the core..

very very diff la pRend. lastnight im primming at 410 x7 :

core temp beta reading were 59c for both core(never raise nor reduce look like stuck)

easytuner were 53c & sometimes 55c, 56c.. playing around there onli.. vcore was 1.35v

only Dimm +0.2V
7 X 380

ehh bro, those RAMs timming u put manually or juz leave at auto arr??

i remember one forumer face same problem here b4...smthg like kenot oc even 1mhz...problem been solve wif latest bios...if not mistaken...

izzit possible??

That was me, and yes the problem is solved right I flash with F4 BIOS.

But mine, I think it was the VGA compatibility issue, using a 7600GT by the way.

Perhaps, it's the ICH8 issue, have you tried like blazex said? Remove all IDEs, just boot with SATA.

irenic, 2 secs less is not much of a difference

sorry typo ... it should be F4

shopping for table fan now....LOL

this guy is me...

tried F3 and F4 bios... does not solve the problem...

its actually flash from F1 to F3 then F4...

mine does not... how come? VGA compatibility?? im using soulfly's 7300GT without installing his driver... does this affect?? remove all IDEs also same thing.. sometime would also freeze while doing the POST-ing... any one can help??

Final push with the E6600 although I still can't increase Vcore. 17.360.

As for the X6800, Bad Axe allowed Vcore adjustment as well as 1333FSB. Initial overclock to nearly 3.9ghz with 1.5Vcore and using Intel Stock Heatsink. Not too shabby I think... 13.469sec

Nope, they left running like how they arrived
CoreTemp read 7/8C higher than EasyTuner....

They are manually set. The rest are left auto.
Anyway just captured the screen in the morning, Orthos passed 9 hours with 460x7, Vcore 1.4v, Vdimm +0.3v, the rest are normal...

owhh izzit? just flash to F4 lastnite, not much time to play/ testing. will try RAMs timming manually later

got question here. currently i put all setting as AUTO & when my FSB goes beyond 400Mhz, the RAMs timming goes to 5-7-7-20, can it cause instability issues since it been very very loose timmin'??

I personally think that manually set it is better to leave it at auto. Not quite sure though i never left it at auto
You've got it check with memtest before entering Windows....
