Aight, i've successfully oc'ed it to 2.92Ghz stable tested with Prime 95 but using stock cooler >< , the temp of core 1 is 50 C @ idle and others are 4x C , are the temps too high for my cpu? What is the max fan speed of stock cooler? 2700 RPM?

3.5K RPM if not mistaken. Anyway, 50'C at idle is hot...

What's the temp at load?

load @ 6x C , is there any way to max out my CPU fan speed at startup? Its running @ 1.28V @ 2.93Ghz

Core 1 temp reaches 83 C when Prime 95 is loaded, the temp seems increased drastically in heavy load . I've also remounted my cooler serveral times and re-applied the thermal grease using Tuniq-TX2, but it doesnt help at all.

Well Q6xxx series does run hot, so I'm not surprised at those numbers on the stock HSF. The only way you're gonna get more frequency out of that processor is to either buy an aftermarket HSF, or lap it.

@TS,get a HSF would help the situation by a lot

what HSF do you recommend? ><

recommend my cooler hahaha... nak nak? can discuss in msn

after get u can then oc ur q6600 kao kao to 4ghz and idle temp will still be less than 50c... around 45c... but load temp u noe la

lolhalol was selling a Xigmatek Achilles bundled with its Crossbow kit for only RM120 a few days back. I'm not sure whether he's sold it...

First choice:
Liquid Cool
Second Choice:
TRUE/Copper lapped,washer mod
Thermalright IFX14
Third:
OCZ Gladiator Max + Xiggy 775 backplate
Deepcool KW
Sunbeamtech CCF

Hey , i've got a list o fewf coolers here and advices are expected ><

Foxconn Napoleon heatsink 775 LGA
Sunbeam CCF
Killer whale

CCF or Killerwhale is best bet,contact tkh_001,price quite ok and he nice guy to talk cock with

It depends la... All perform quite well next to each other... I went for Achilles because I like the way it looks

What about Xigmatek S1283? it seems good but with 3 heat pipes.

HDT-S1283 is a very good performer, priced at <RM130 new
HDT-S963 is another good performer, priced at only <RM95 new

Hmm , im having problem on choosing a HSF between killer whale or sunbeam >< , which one is better?

If me i will go CCF ... Because the HSF really good ... This my recommend ..

there's a thread about asus mobo i guess. might want to try this forum.lowyat.net/topic/657276

BS the mobo cannot oc well...

Its the technique... at 3Ghz, voltage should be 1.35, not auto. My Q6600 + P5N-D combo can reach 3.93

If q6600 no OC... izzit still fast enuff or not? or must OC?
