Anyone here uses watercooling on their e6600ES or normal e6600 [retail or OEM]?

I'm not really sure about my processor.
The processor temperature is at 43degrees and the temperature of each core is 21degrees on idle. [Using PC Wizard 2007]

In bios also reports the same.

Is this true?

nakata101 said that ES is not applicable with coretemp, yes, that's true, coz when i test with Intel TAT or Coretemp, the core temperature shown in those softwares is 7degrees on idle.

So which one should i believe?

Okay, how bout you bro?
What do you get from your e6600 ES?

Owh, i forgot to mention, i oc'ed my e6600 to 3.2GHz 400MHz X 8 = 1600FSB

Vcore at 1.45

Look at hyde'fk settings
He's using the same setting as me liao.

Too high meh?
Then what should i use?
If i use lower than that, i can't even go to windows.

Ahh, now i'm able to run at 400X8 at 1.344vcores
Thanks yehlai...

Explanation:
Bus speed 400MHz X 8 Multiplier = FSB: 1600MHz
FSB 1600MHz X 2 = 3.2GHz clock speed

Ram: DDR800 runs at 800MHz @ 4-4-4-10 @ 2.1Volts
I know i can run the timing lower than what i'm running right now, but i won't bother about it, just leave it like that.

Now my processor temps are:

Processor temp: 38degrees
Core temp [Core 0]: 10degrees
Core temp [Core 1]: 11degrees

Primed 2 hours stable.
Thanks yehlai.

I'll tell you why.
It's a funny story.

The waterblock is not covering the whole IHS before i adjust the vcores.
So the temps are siau high.

And before i adjust the vcores again, i take out the waterblock and shocked to see that the waterblock didn't sit on the processors IHS properly.

Cleaned the old layer of AS5, applied a new layer, then fit the waterblock back again, found the temps are okay, then i lower the vcore.

To tell you guys the truth, just before i resit the waterblock, the temps for my processor are a killing temps!

120degrees for processor temperature, and 70degrees for core 0 & core 1!

From there i know there's something wrong.
That's why i took the heavy job of taking out the waterblock, apply a new layer of thermal paste again.

So before this, it's not that my pc can't turn on because not enough vcores, it's because the temps are to high caused by the waterblock not sitting properly on the top of the IHS

Bro, that's before i resit the waterblock la...
Right now the temps are 38degrees in idle liao.

Should i do that?
Don't know la, kinda happy with the current speed.

Later la, next week ke, next month ke

Hoo?
Tone, what type of watercooling do u use?

Able to cool your processor at 28degrees, but on load it gets to 55degrees?
Why does the load temps go so high like that?

My Swiftech watercooling cools my e6600 at 3.2GHz:
Idle: 38degrees
Load: 42 - 44 degrees

You're talking about the watercooling kit that NGBH sells right?

But still, quite a good idle temps you've got there.

It is good.
It's good in maintaning temps at idle.
But it's weak when the processor is on full load.

That's what we call as Vdroop.

If you want to set the vcore to 1.25

You have to make some calculations.

This is how you do it:

Vcore in bios: 1.25
Vcore in CPUz: 1.138

1.25 - 1.138 = 0.112

So if you want the Vcore to be "TRUE" 1.25, you have to do this:

1.25 + 0.112 = 1.362

1.362 - 0.112 = True 1.25Volts.

Do this, and you'll see in CPUz or any other voltage software detector will report your vcore as 1.25Volts.

Some of the boards have high Vdroop.
And Abit AB9 motherboard lines is one of them.

Both of you are using Abit AB9 motherboard lines.
No matter it's pro or non pro, it's the same.

AB9 motherboard lines are known for it's high vdroop

As i've said earlier, don't rely on the vcore shown in the software bundled with your motherboard.

Use CPUz to know the true Vcore that is directed to your processor.
That's the true Vcore.

HaHaNoCluE, sorry to say this, but, i have to, Abit new line of motherboards are known for it's weakness here & there.

The history of the best Abit mobo is only on their old socket 478 motherboard such IS7, IC7

After that, they have been producing nothing but crap mobo, most of them are known for very high vdroop.

I don't know why you need a very high Vcore more than 1.6Volts to run at 400X9.
I only use 1.5Volts of vcore to run at 400X9.
*Notice that we are using the same e6600 ES that we bought from nakata101

Ehh, before i forgot, did you increase the VMCH & the FSB voltage too?

This is not a kopitiam thread.

You thought.
But it's not good at all.

All new Abit mobo are pure crap.
Don't rely on reviews, sometimes they are siding to some companies.

The good ol' abit is much much better.

You've got it all wrong.
The 1333FSB processor isn't out on the market yet.

What you see on that Gigabyte stating 1333FSB is that that motherboard supports 1333FSB.
If you have a motherboard that supports 1333MHz while your processor is only 1066MHz, that doesn't make your processor will run on 1333FSB liao...

Your C2D e6300 will still run on 1066MHz not 1333MHz

Intel Core2Duo processors with the 1333MHz FSB isn't out on the market yet.

Good.
Now i'm running my two pieces of GKX @ 4-4-4-10 @ 1GHz at 2.25Volts.

Priming now.
It's already 6 hours.

Gonna post the screenshot after done more than 18hours, or maybe after i come back from johor tomorrow night.
That means i'll be priming my pc for 2 days! lol!

After priming, i'll do superPI.
And try the 3DMark benchmarking again.

Edit:
Guys, is it okay if i were to prime my pc for 2 days straight?
I'm on swiftech watercooling though.

Guys, this is good or bad?
I'm not really pro in this super PI thingie.

First time i'm using it though.
Teach me.
