well anway,orthos for more than 3 hours and the heat sink is totally cool no heat at all at the sink there.

yup,using core temp 0.94 and speed fan showing the same temp with core temp.

just my thought :
higher FSB + lower multiplier + maintain processor speed = lower operational temperature
but definately not below room temperature

ADD :
my experience is when you open multiple temperature reading software , some will actually affecting each others' value .
better open one by one .

installed the E6850...
run the OCCT at 3.6G@1.45v/1.44vdroop...
i have 3 temp reading software running: EasyTuner5, CoreTemp and Speedfan as per pic attached. dunno whether can believe or not the reading but seems valid enuff. btw, my E6850 has the Tjunction of 85c not 100c like other guys

I wonder if Q6600 G0 stepping will gone the same temperature reading problem.

I wonder if Q6600 G0 stepping will gone the same temperature reading problem.

it is due to G0 stepping or 1333Mhz proc?
anyone with Q6600 with G0 stepping, pls reportn in...

my Q6600 is showing Tjunction of 100c and the the VID is 1.275v...sweet...but it's not G0...it's B3 though

seems like G0 is a reject to all OC'ers...   Thank god i didn't get E6750 which i almost got... i'll be playing wif Conroe-L while waiting for Penryn...

i just bought my E6750 OCed 3.06Ghz with avarage temp. 53C and full load 60C

Think about it. The only difference between E6750 and E6700 is the FSB speed (1333Mhz vs 1066Mhz) and stepping (G0 vs B2). Other than that, both are exactly the same especially the TDP and 65nm manufacturing process.

As such, how can the E6750 be so much cooler on stock heatsink as compared to the E6700? 

However, if you look at their specs, apparent the thermal specification for both are also different. E6750 is at 72'c while the E6700 is at 60.1'c (See table below)

This is Intel's definition of thermal specification "Thermal Specification:  The thermal specification shown is the maximum case temperature at the maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) value for that processor. It is measured at the geometric center on the topside of the processor integrated heat spreader. For processors without integrated heat spreaders such as mobile processors, the thermal specification is referred to as the junction temperature (Tj). The maximum junction temperature is defined by an activation of the processor Intel(R) Thermal Monitor. The Intel Thermal Monitor's automatic mode is used to indicate that the maximum TJ has been reached"

Anybody care to explain what thermal specification means in the OC world?

Added : Comparison table - look especially at the thermal specification (maximum case temperature) of E6750 vs 6700 

So how if we oc the cpu and not reach the max case temperature? It should be safe right?(Not sure bout the core temp though)

Q6600 is 266FSB proc... tat's y...

i dun think G0 is 'a reject to all OC'ers'...the problem is that current apps cannot correctly detect the coretemp...in terms of oc wise, so far it's quite good...running my E6850 at 3.6G wif 1.44vdroop...so, for daily usage, i'm satisfied wif it...

priming my e6850 at 3.6G with 1.41vcore. pencil mod done. will continue to lower the vcore until system unstable. then that would be my daily use setting.

What type of pencil mod did you do? hmm.gif

i guess he change the FSB speed from 333 to 400, by doing some modification at BSEL pin on cpu
