use both coretemp and speed fan to monitor ur tempreture. dont bother bout these motherboard based programs.

second. the maximum heat for Q6600 G0 Stepping according to Intel is 71C. http://processorfinder.intel.com/Default.aspx so if u go more than 70 u might damage ur cpu. if not, u'll be shortening the life of ur cpu.

i want to run my processor for the next 3 years. so im keeping my temp under 60C. (full load 60C)

btw gengstapo, what is ur v core.. ur mobo temp probe showing some madness temp wor

i will keep the processor as long as my favourite game still can run smooth on it........ hehe

1.5v to get it stable..hrm...... should i venture above 1.45v for daily used processor....... hard decision...... hehe

btw gengstapo, thx for info....

this is what im wondering too. does it really matter to be stable while loading 100% for 8 hours continuously?? since normal softwares stress the processor no where as near as a stress software...

min i think 3 hour enuf..but i personally test for 12 hours lol..for ur gigabyte controling ram volt i think might be this..DDR2 overvoltage control wat is the value for this option in ur bios?

got it to 3.4ghz stable now.

sometimes occt is not accurate to judge the oc is stable.
i tried once occt stable for 30 minutes but failed in prime for 10 minutes.

im at 3.6Ghz Q6600 for 24/7 use !!!

Yours is G0 or B3?

   

If it's unopened, how come it's been tested?
Isn't that weird.
Same batches doesn't mean it can overclock at the same level.

wow ! you and me same board and processor !!!
what is your temp ??? and settings ?

What ram are you using CSC? im stuck at 3.6 ghz 400x9 temps seem to be alright tho ... its only at 50C in coretemp

Hi guys, do u believe that when i set my vcore to 1.325v oc to 3.2g quad prime stable for more than 8 hours but my temp range from 60-69c, then when i set to 1.275 oc 3.2g orthos plus run aquamark at the same time also stable my temp range from 59-63c, later i play coh for few hours without any problem too, but of course i cant quad prime. My question, whether you guys will set your voltage at 1.325 or 1.275 if its your pc. Since our daily use doesnt use much of quad core what if i say i set the vcore at 1.275v. Any commend of remarks please. TQ

Problem is temp touching 70c when set at 1.325v, moreover,at 1.275v everything seem ok except i cant quad prime. Thats why i need recommendation from our ocer bro.

When i touch the heatpipe n the heatsink base, just little warm, but core temp show otherwise, but my ram n nb when touch it really hot.

Problem is that even everst show the same reading as core temp, can it be my mobo sensor gone kuku, by the way what software u use to detect temp.

I just bought Q6600.. Has managed to push it to 3.0 but, my concern is, why does my multiplier fluctuate from 6 to 9, based on CPU-z? Can I do something to fix the multiplier ?

My spec:
Mobo: Asus P5K
RAM: 2GB Kingston HyperX DDR2800

Currently @ default vcore

err...need to ask abit question.........is the cooler master Aquagate S1 good to overclock 2.4ghz to 3.0 or 3.2 ghz......@@?
