Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

54c idle :|:

Run Orthos and see what happens!!!!!

Be ready to press printscreen and stop though :p

Lets see the results

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

85c is the max for this chip right?

otherweise ya damage it...and it looks like now its dropping to 51 and 52 c on desktop with this brouser open asus smart doc and coretemp daemon tools etc etc
....

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

No. 70c is the absolute max before damage occurs.

That is for the Q6600 G0, other CPU's have different max temps. You can find your CPU's max temps here: http://processorfinder.intel.com/

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

im just too afraid im gunna burn out my system to push it to 1.6v which im positive it will be stable at.....

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

1.6v is very, very high, even for watercooling. You should not exceed 1.45v on air cooling.

There is no way that CPU is staying under 70c with 100% load at 1.5v...

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

UPDATE!!...achieved 3760.08 at that same voltages ..stable 44c...no luck yet with 4ghz..

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

what voltage?

Pics of load temps please whilst running two instances of Orthos (one per 2 cores).

[theminx]

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

yes ill bring that soon..

same voltage

[theminx]

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

overclocking failed . it ran fine for days then all of this sudden on post it wants to fail..so im trying more voltage...the bios says 1.5 but its only putting out 1.47 something or other..i was reasing where certain vid will hit 4ghz with .146 but i dont see how ..

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

ur gonna fry ur cpu, dude

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

1.5v for a Q6600 is fine, just not much more.

If you are putting in 1.5v in the BIOS and it's reading 1.47v, it means you're getting a fair chunk of Vdroop.

Is there a "loadline calibration" option in the BIOS?

[theminx]

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

yes there is a load line..what should it be put to?
i ran it all the way up the 1.6v no fregin 4ghz ..jesus...it loaded the bios at 67c thoe at 1.6v which is not gunna work for any cooling solution LOL

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

1.6v is too much for a Q6600 and will damage it. After about 1.55v, electromigration occurs in CPU and will reduce it's lifespan substantially.

Turn loadline calibration on. It should help reduce Vdroop and cause the voltage supply to the CPU to be more stable.

Re: Yay, 3.6ghz !!!!1!!!1

Well, i'm at the same voltage but booted into Windows and fairly stable at 3.7ghz!
