erk.. based on my experience, geminII on dual core is not dat good, compared to on quad core..


ur Q6600 ES temp sensor dead edi.. ? there's no way noctua can perform like that.. unless u live in alaska or the poles...

and E6600 is not that cold when compare with current quad core

-2c? watercooled oso cannot perform like that..

I guess it's because of the faulty thermal sensor on most of the Pennryn chips?

most penryn got faulty thermal sensor? looks like serius problem to me. incorrect reading within range 10c from true reading is still acceptable, but to give -2c ?!?! oldskool method, touch the HS with ur hand and now u know how high d sky is

if u google around, i think some of us are quite lucky as our temp sensor still fuctioning, mayb reading +10c or -10c... some others not so lucky will get a dead temp sensor, which means the temp sensor stuck at certain celcius and the readings wont change at all...

Ok, here is the SS.. U can see Real temps give = -7c and Core temp = 8c. When i start the PC, BIOS temperature reading is about -2c..
I know it must be some mistake on the thermal sensor, but i love it

BTW, both the proc (e6600 es) and Noctua was bought frm one forumer here and already being lapped. Maybe during the lapping process, the thermal sensor died.

i wonder what well E8600 well do
heard PC zone saying the going to get it soon

eh its an ES lah... ES sensors not calibrated 1... cacat readings...

lol his hands must've been like popeye.. can't control the force of lapping ka

I think its not quite normal, anyway 45nm in this early revision is kinda hot when increasing vcore more than 1.4v. And in ur case please check whether ur ttbtvx had properly install and contact with the IHS. I ty E8400 @ 4GHz 1.38v going over 70 but not reach 80 using ttbtvx too. I am not sure if E7200 is any hotter.

from what i have seen online so far.... those e7200 seems to be hot... similar to xeon e3110 i wud say... but still havent read bout anyone proving that temp is correct or not

Xeon I dont mind bcoz its designed for higher tdp.

but xeon architecture is slightly different than e7200.. not sure about the details though...

architecture is the same but only the characteristic is a bit change.

my latest oc done last night..

Specs:

Intel Quad X3350 Watercooled
Asus P5E3 Premium 0402 bios
2Gb Crucial Ballistix PC1600 CL8
Gecube HD 3870 Watercooled
1TB WD Harddisk
PC Power & Cooling 750watt Red
Windows XP Sp2

for a side note, my last attempt on the same setup max out for super PI 1m run @ 473x8 (3.784ghz)



470x8, ram @ 1880 CL8, 3870 @ 891/1296


this is my highest 3dmark06 run, anything higher will cause a locked up in test 1.. maybe could run with higher voltage since the voltage use is still far from the dangerous point but it's already 7.30am and i was so sleepy...

475x8, ram @ 1520 CL6, 3870 @ 891/1296


max stable for PI 1m..

481x8, ram @ 1924 CL8


I believe this board can go higher fsb than what i achieved.. my max bootable last nite was 485fsb.. but the system hang when i was browsing the local folder to save the screenshot

wow.. Irenic bro can't go higher already?..

i really hope there is still few mhz left in my chip.. i can say the future looks quite bright for this board.. considering the voltage i used yesterday is really2 low compared to the setting i used to reach 473fsb last time.. maybe it's bcoz of the newer bios.. or bcoz of cooler temp with this poor man wc kit..

U r too advance ler Irenic... I noticed ur main rig is using DDR3 since last year if i not mistaken. Manyak kaye la ini orang..

it hit the fsb wall?

guys,im curious bout my E8400 temp.
is it normal the temp at 42-45c at stock vcore&speed
