guys, why ur q6600 all are so hot?

Are you sure about this? I've been wondering about speedfan's reading too. There are usually a few readings showing in speedfan. CPU temp (only know if I correlate this temp reading with other software), Core0 temp and core1 temp. The CPU temp is usually about 6'c higher than the core0 and core1.........

Someone already compared Coretemp with TAT and the temp is very similar. TAT is build by Intel and this cant be wrong.

how to go to 36.
mine now 3.2 on 400 x8

400 x9 = 3.6ghz
remember to add vcore

vcore set to 1.5 ady..

cant boot

yo bro...

i'm getting 3.2Ghz speed very stable at stock voltage of 1.35V...so probably if you want to lower your temp, try use 1.35V instead of 1.375V...

and also, at full load, i'm getting 75+deg'C as well... but if i blast full fan speed at my casing and also on the air cond, i can get around 5degC improvement or more...

and i'm not using WC... just normal air cooling...

Ur one extreme edition maybe can use 1.35. Non extreme maybe need higher.

weird. my CPU temp show 38C while CPU#1 show 85C and CPU#2 86C lol. i think my CPU internal diode go haywire already. when full load, CPU#1 and CPU#2 only increase few Celsius only haha.

so many using quad, itchy to try one too. next week might try it with my friends built

So far, while researching on inaccurate core temp readings on the E6x50 series, I came across some discussion on the Q6600 CPUs too. Apparently, the newer Q6600 with G0 stepping has a higher Tjunction of 100'c instead of 85'c. As such, you're supposed to add another 15'c to your core temperature reading.

The reason for this is because some 3rd party apps calculate core temp by using the Tjunction. So, if the Tjunction is different, so will the core temperature readings.

I'm not too sure about the Q6600's problem as I've been reading up on the E6x50 series.

Here's my thread. There are some links there..... problem still not resolved...

not really, my current Q6600 with B3 stepping also showing Tjunction of 100C on coretemp.

how about other's Q6600? Tjunction 85C or 100C?

Going to WC my Q6600 after i get my Ballistix RAMs, just got me some cheap vinyl tubes, so i'm testing the loop. Hopefully will be getting around 50c on load, and 30 something once i get a nice Thermochill.

i got a friend who tried water cooling on quad core... giving about minimum 7'C improvement compare to my air cooling using zalman heatsink...

Further improvement should be possible assuming he used a basic kit.

Now planning to use the below in search for a quadcore superclock suicide run.

- Liquid Metal TIM (Coolabratories)
- Zerex 50/50 with Distilled water
- Thermochill PA120.3 (maybe i'll dunk it in ice)
- Secondary pump...who knows, maybe a D5

My mission is 4ghz for 4 cores

Here's my lahling in loop testing

omg sifu empire is back in the actions
welcome back!

Waiting for result & benchies. cool empire!

empire strike back...

damn expensive stuff. not for kids. btw, where to get that TIM? price?

hehe... water cooling is way over my budget now...so stick to air cooling first...wait for empire's result and see if it's worth the money to bunk in...
hehe

If quad core 4GHz stable on standard WC already very happy lor.

Heard Storm88 is at the hospital due to his wifey giving birth, or so i heard lah, so getting that new thermochill is going to take time.

My Windows Vista generously donated by Jinaun has been lost in the mail. Great fking job Posmalaysia, i bloody love you guys. No point waiting, knowing Malaysian regular post.

My RAMs got delayed by Crucial due to a bad batch so remanufacturing was in order. Crap. Should be here by next week.

Atleast my MOSFET coolers from Hwoarang45 should arrive with the rest of the above on monday and tuesday. Need to keep the 680i cool before i can do any clocking.

Mouser electronics is delaying my shipment of Silver Micas from Cornell Dubilier, Bourns Trimpots and AVX wet slug tantalums due to stock issue....WTF.

Damn, everything is late!
