QUOTE(ysh_kobe @ Apr 18 2008, 01:42 PM) Hi guys. Finally got my Red Scorpion last nite. Thx to ckhoong... Quickly fix it onto my mobo with S&S kits... And OC my Q6600 to 3.2ghz (400x8). The temp for idle is 40-42 while for load is 58-61.... Is this ok? Btw I 1 to ask. If i set the vcore too high, wat will happen? I'm d proud owner of GIGABYTE EP35C-DS3R.... Added on April 18, 2008, 1:43 pmI'm using tuniq tx2. And i found tat my temp had risen 2day. risen ab 2-3C during idlle. Why is this happening? Is it becos i din apply the thermalpaste properly? Full speed fan. Added on April 18, 2008, 1:45 pmBtw, my vcore is set at 1.375 now at 3.2ghz. Added on April 18, 2008, 2:01 pmHehehe... Sorry, I forgot that I din close my casing last nite.... I closed it just now. And stress using OCCT. the temperature shoots to 65 which is the temp i set for OCCT as max temp. Is this over too hot? I'm using Lian-LI PC007 with 2 stock 12cm fans and i add a 8cm fan at the top.... Can anybody teach me wat to do to reduce my temP? I'm not feeling so comfortable with it..... If too high vcore, worst case scenario, kaput lor...... For Q6600, recommended not to go higher than 1.5v for 24/7 usage..... of course, the lower, the better.... 65'c at 100% load is still ok, as the general recommendation is not more than 60-65'c. You can read my guide on "CPU core temperature" (in my sig). There's a section on how to reduce the CPU temperature too....

Added on April 18, 2008, 7:52 pmBtw, 3.2ghz on air cooling is counted high onot? Added on April 18, 2008, 7:56 pmI c your setting is almost d same as mine.... your stock vcore is? my stock vcore is quite high. 1.325v Added on April 18, 2008, 8:00 pmQUOTE(kmarc @ Apr 18 2008, 07:38 PM) Errr..... had to google that for you..... from the German word meaning out of order, not working, broken, utterly finished, destroyed, hopelessly outmoded (hmmm... good word for modders....  ) Next time google it yourself  Kmarc, I c you are a Sarawakian?

@ysh_kobe
your temps normal la, nothing to worry about, oh yes, btw, what program or device used to read the temps and is it the individual cores or is it the die itself
Added on April 18, 2008, 9:14 pm@irenic @ckffeng
975 is not better then 965
mainly because the 975 sold by manufacturers like asus, gigabyte, dfi and others are not built ground up for quads.
where as the bad axe 2 was designed and built by Intel engineers from the ground up for quad-core overclocking.
But yes, its an old board, so, maybe newer chipsets will replace these legacies of the past

Looks like your CPU is better. Yeah, my stock vcore is also 1.325v..... I've settled down in Kuching but am not a local here......  (provided the government don't throw me some where else...  )

Would it be tat high vcore=higher temperature?

You need to know whether it is stable or not. You can use stress programs like prime95. Take a look at my CPU overclocking guide.....

Q6600 @ 3.6GHz (1.5v at bios) btw, anyone here using GA-P35-DS3L (Rev2.0) mobo? i set DDR2 Voltage to +0.4v, but when i check BIOS status, it stated 2.0v only?! HWmonitor also stated DDR2 Voltage at 2.0v only. im using Crucial RAMs which operates at 2.2v. This post has been edited by wiNd: Apr 19 2008, 09:47 PM
