Off topic:
You are using Kingston Value Ram 1gig 533 D9GMH? My friend, coolice running at DDR1000 CL4 at vdimm 2.3 stable no matter how long he prime it.

If everything running smoothly but you only cant see any info from CPUZ, it is most likely that there is something wrong with your RAM SPD or you bought an OEM ram. IIRC, OEM ram usually dont have any of those info.

Are sure about your temp? It is way too high for a non OC E6600.

My E6600 @2.4ghz running at

AirCond
Idle 28'C
Full Load 38'C

Without AirCond
Idle 32-33'C
Ful Load 41-43'C

Check your heatsink mounting. It is hard to believe that temp when you are using TT BTVX. Or your room temp is around 35'C+?

Bro, I planned to OC my processor later. How to overcome this vdrop problem other than pencil mod my mobo?

Oh ya... What is the max safe vcore e6600 I can push? vcore 1.7? I never OC any C2D before. Thanks, bro.

You cant find OEM on the retail unless you bought from forum or direct from factory. Try to ask the seller that sold you the ram.

Hmmm.... I think I better dont try anything to reduce the vdroop since I am clueless on that. Live with it

Ok... I will trial and error and see how far I can put my processor.

Thanks for the info. My friend asked me to do that too.

s[H]sIkuA already pencil modded his board. That's why lower vdrop

tAmp0i, here is my SuperPI result.



SuperPI 1m: 13.406sec

CPU: E6600 2.4 @ 3.87Ghz (430FSB * 9)
VCore: 1.6
Cooling: Noctua NH-U12 with ThermalTake SmartFan A2029

RAM: Kingston Value RAM 533 1gig * 2 (D9GMH) @ DDR2 860
Timing: 4 4 4 12
VDimm: 2.3

Mobo: Asus P5B-E Plus; C2; 0504 Bios

Actually I did that benchmark during LanParty. Just OC for fun. Havent really tweak it to the maximum. Hehe.. Yeah, I do think 2.1-2.2vdimm is good enough but I put 2.3vdimm, just to make sure everything go smooth. I HATE RESTART


My IDLE at 3.87 is 43'C
My FULL LOAD at 3.87 is 56'C

CPU Temp...

Ya lo... The lan party room is air conded ma. haha..

Ya lo... Totally not easy to hit 4Ghz

My E6600, L637F*** only can reach 3870ghz; Stable

I dont know considered stable or not.. Can loop 3dmark06 continously and play game without any problem but failed orthos. Haha.. Is it because i set my ram at CL4?

Currently running at 3.0ghz, 667 CL3.

Dont know wor.. Any other heatsink will do the same gua. Should ask those vr ppl too. hehe..

I think TS accidentally deleted the list. He is seeking help from mod.

may i know why is that? asus mobo bios have a good oc setting but those stupid vdroop holding alot of the potential back

my asus p5b-e plus have that issue too. i thought that is normal because it is my first time used c2d rig. hehe

I dont think that L6**F batch is that bad but not as good as those legendary L629B***. Currently I am using a L637F*** and can run at 500*7 and almost reach 4ghz.

vcore 1.68

Not that good lo. What to do.. with 1.55 - 1.6, can go till 3870 only

Yes... It is the same

Guys, I just wondering what vcore you guys pumped to your E6600 to get it stable for priming 8hours. I am using 1.55vcore. Havent try 1.5vcore. thanks ya

edit: TO RUN STABLE AT 400*9 = 3.6 Ghz

@Quazacolt

Before you thinking on how to clock more, find a way to solve your heat problem first. Your temp is way above any normal standard. You have the money to buy QX but cant get something good to cool it down. Probably you will think I am blunt in my words but I just stating the obvious fact. Cool down your hardware else you are taking a big risk of toasting your hardware.

@InF.anime

No, it is not hard at all to reach 3.8ghz but its do pose some challenge if u want to exceed 4ghz. Anyway, as long you have the proper hardware and most important cooling... It isnt that hard

Yes... If the batch code is the same, its should perform the same. Always remember cooling is the most important part of OC. If you cant keep the temp low, even with a gem proc u will never get good result.

Bro.. Do consider changing your heatsink. I dont think TTBT VX can handle your Q6600 heat anymore.

Do bear in mind before buying those normal Quad.

1. It is not Extreme Edition. So basically cant clock that well and have lower thermal resistance.
2. The performance gain by switching from Quad to Dual is minimal as there is almost no application fully optimized for quad core but the amount produce by an Quad is insane.

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

Anyway, some of my result after switching to WC.

My old E6600. Running at 'Dirty Windows'. When using Air Cooling, I only managed to push till 3994mhz.


My current x6800.


I believe there is still some room of improvement as I havent really oc and tweak on it. Just a simple test run the proc.
