maintaining the proc temp to as low as possible... so tat it lives long... juz using Gigabyte G-Power Pro air cooler... nothing tat special... average temp is 56... i not folding or anything wif this rig... more to gaming... maybe wif another rig when my monitor comes...

bro, what mobo r u using??? oso what wc setup??? looks pretty good...

I'm using Abit IP35 Pro As for the watercooling, the waterblock is the very old Zalman ZM-WB2, very old swiftech radiator and Eheim 1048 pump All are discontinued products except maybe the Eheim pump. This watercooling set is actually given by one of my friend since he already upgraded to Fuzion block, MCP655 pump and MCP320 radiator (really thanks a lot to him). Still, it performs at least 5C better than Scythe Infinity with dual 3000+RPM fans I can't really afford myself a watercooling set

Will take pictures of my humble watercooling setup and post it later, my camera just ran out of batteries when I need it

Using quad low RPM fans on the radiator, I'm a fan of quiet cooling

that is your 24/7 rig??

@max_87...how's ur temp with that bare naked and shaved setup...show us some screenie la...

Yes, I don't have a casing right now

Idle:


Load:


Ambient temperature is around 27~28C

nice... dat ec set oso not bad still perform very well... what a fren u got ther... lucky u... hehehe...

ah... 55C load at 3.9gig is good temp

perhaps you want to stay naked with your rig

look really messy that rig
but nice temp and clock though. 3.9Ghz at 55C

@max_87

What is ur processor Batch Code? E6850 proc can reach 4ghz easily even with air cooling. Not to mention that you are using IP35-Pro.

Btw, with 27~28C ambient temp... Full load temp for E6850 @ 3.9ghz shouldnt exceed 50'C under WC. Time to upgrade your WC set. Hehe..

I don't remember. Yes, but most are not Prime95 stable. To me, SuperPI/3DMark/suicide/etc runs don't count

Where did you get your temperature reading? If it's from your mainboard's sensor, then it's not comparable to mine My friend's Fuzion/MCR320/MCP655 is around 5C better than this outdated setup, readings from IP35 Pro, same mainboard. So the temperature can still exceed 50C if you are talking about readings from Abit IP35 Pro's sensor.

I couldn't afford a new watercooling set, so no upgrading

G0 Q6600 already reach lyp.

saw this in cycom while hooting my E6850

The temperature is only ok if you ask me Since my ambient is 28C. If no aircon then the ambient would be around 30-32C, so the temperature would be around 58C under normal condition. Keep in mind that this are readings from a mainboard sensor, so don't take it too seriously

must have passed u by today...if u were there around 2 something...IIRC the code is L723A627...something like that la...all has the same code, a few bunch of them.

Its depends on which batch your proc. My L720A can prime at 4ghz (1.46vcore).

I think your proc is under those hotter e6850 batch. From what I tested, there is some or I should say most e6850 is cool even under load but some proc like the one I am using now is belongs to hotter ver. 5-10'c higher than those cool ver. That's why, i ask for your batch code.

Mine is L720Axxx, couldn't remember the last three numbers behind. My 4GHz prime screenshot is on the previous page.

my e6850 is also the L720A batch. can only get stable at 4ghz with somewhere 1.5625vcore +- on air and its very hot indeed, somewhere around the 65C mark at full load...

thast why i drop to 3.75ghz for 24/7 using 1.4125vcore that runs much cooler now. observing quite a gap for vcore between 3.8ghz and 4ghz.

Yeah, 1.55v+ is too much for aircoolers, it's totally impossible to keep the temperature under 60C unless you are living somewhere with 1337 ambient temperature

I stick to 3.9GHz @ 1.43v for 24/7 use

this is my Q6600 super pi resu1t on the disappoint N680i ..................
even + more volt still cant go up ady..... really BIG WALL of it.......

P/S: tampoi add my result,i using Artic Cooling freeze 7 pro
