Agree with kmarc, your voltage is to high, mine at 3.2 vcore only 1.325 but the stupid sensor giving me high reading on temp around 59-66c when quad prime.

For 3.6g its consider alright, mine is even worst, at 3.2g my temp can go until 71c at certain time when doing quad prime, but i take for granted the sensor of my board is not accurate becos my tru is only warm n not hot at all, i have resit my heatsink many time n its the same plus adding artic silver5, make not much different, so i have been using 24/7 for so long everything going fine. So dont worry for that tem. of yours somemore at 3.6g

I wonder any of you guys know why my 6600 GO oc 3.2g @1.325v stable like a rock n have been using it for few months, but when i try to go up to 3.3g or 3.4g i have to raise the voltage until 1.4v for 3.3g n 1.5v for 3.4g, wonder why have to increase so much voltage, n the temp will go over 72+ which i dont like. My spec is as stated on my sign.

Possible you set the cie n eist enable on your bios setting.

Hi, just curious to know, i set my vcore @ 1.275v, at 3.2g n stable playing game n do multi tasking, but will fail prime quad unless set to 1.325v vcore, suggestion at 1.275vcore or 1.325vcore. which setting will you set, moreover ,no doubt we are using quad core most of the time i notice our processor is using dua core the most, thats why when i sat my vcore to 1.275v is stable like a rock, but not quad prime. Any comment. TQ

Bro, my orthos dual pass for 24 hours n playing any 3d game no problem, thats why, for the time being i set my vcore to 1.275v becos more cooling, any more comments or sugesstion or the advantage n disadvantage.

When i sat to 1.325v, my temp. will go as high as 72c when quad prime, thats why i sat it to 1.275v even that the temp. when dual prime it will reach 66c., thinking of going to wc, but still prefer air cooling not so hassle.

Dont know how to do lapping, hopefully can find someone doing for a certain fees, but doubtful whether after lapped, dont know got much different.

I keep on reseating the hsf n apply as5 even change to my latest casing plus try my air flow by many way still no different, only last resort might lapp the hsf plus the proc, or only way change to wc. Again i dont understand when my proc. reach 72c i can still touch the heatsink becos its only warm not hot, dont know why, my only ideal might be the sensor giving me problem. My vid is only 1.275

Kmarc, saw your signature using gigabyte ds3 mobo, wonder did you put a fan at the NB heatsink, i put 2 small fan on the heatsink n was wondering my cpu temp so high , might be the course of the NB fan. Any ideal.

My nb fan i took it out from my cm blue ice, its quiet strong thats why i am worry it my blow air toward the cpu, anyway i still believe my mobo sensor is having problem becos i have tested many ways of cooling my cpu but then still not much improvement, presently cpu voltage at 1.325 @3.2g n quad prime highest is 67c n lowest at 60c. But strangely 2 core will show about 8-10c different than the other 2 core. Example core 1n 2 show 67c 3n4 58n59c respectively.

You are lucky bro, to get low temp when load. Mine same vid with yours but i have to set to 1.325v to get 3.2g stable n my temp reach 60c when load.By the way i am curious how did you set your voltage to 1.264v when the bios setting of your mobo mininum is 1.275v.

Mine is a GO stepping batch.

You must be joking, 62c wont kill your mobo becos i have been using my quad nearly a year with my mobo at 63+ n still going strong n using at default 3.2G daily used n with games

Guys, just lap my true, but discover my 6600 quad is concave wtf, initially though my true is concave, since the quad is concave i need to lap my quad but hestitate becos warranty might be void, question is i need opinion if this is your quad will u lap it. TQ

How you hold the processor when lapping becos the proc chip is small, n any risk that may contact the other side of the chip, secondly it seem very hard to hold it. Did you use anything to hold it when u do lapping.

I just lap my processor but i am only getting about 3c different, is it i have apply too much as5 on it, i apply small amount on the proc n small amount on the heatsink, is it alright. secondly why small difference only.

Presently doing 3.4g after lap my true n prc @ 1.4v before 3.2 @1.325. Question is i need to pump in so much exta voltage to get 3.4g stable secondly i am getting the same temp as before for 3.4g compare my previous 3.2g, thats means to show there is improvement on the lappng but still not satified becos getting around 61-60-55-52 full load for more than one hour, whereas i see some forerummer getting below 55c n higher proc voltage, any ideal why.

Improve of 5-6c after lapping but still my Q6600 @ 3.4g voltage @1.4 only but temp seem a bit high at 61-60-55-52c full load. Is it possible that applying too much of AS5 can be the cause of high temp.

Hi, just want to know whether heat is the main killer or cpu voltage, i mean heat will made your cpu die faster of voltage.
