Confused...

What is the TJmax for a Q6600 G0? Some say 95c, some say 100c. It makes a fair difference to load temps and will enable me to safely enter more Vcore if it is lower.

Anyone know?

I don't know, but somebody knows and he posted it at Anandtech.

Re: Confused...

I have it set to 95c at the moment, which seems correct, but i've always used 100c up until now.

Re: Confused...

the last I looked on the core temp forums, they never did decide. :hmm:

Re: Confused...

100c.
If it breaks.
Then your the first person to know it's 95c

Re: Confused...

Well, apparently following Intel emails, they were told it was 95c for the Q6600 G0.

I'm going to email Intel myself :p

Just found the official Intel Specs:

Apparently for a Q6600 G0, it's 90c :|:

Re: Confused...

Didn't I tell you that at OCN? (ohno)

you didn't even rep me...

Re: Confused...

Okay... so, all this has done is left me confused. I changed the TJmax to 95c which mainly believe is what the Q6600 G0 is, despite Intel saying it's actually 90c (which is silly).

Re: Confused...

i assume u have seen this sticky? http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/...perature-guide

Re: Confused...

Dear god, that sticky is painful to read. From what i gather, a 5c offset is acceptable between the Tjunction and Tcase sensors, thus making Tjunction 95c as opposed to the commonly estimated 100c or Intel spec of 90c.

That's good

Re: Confused...

so whats your final decision? 95c?

and i thought we were talking about the department store the whole time...

Re: Confused...

The store is called TKMaxx in the UK, not TJ :p


I settled for 95c, it seems about right for Q6600 G0's. Intel's statement of 90c is too low and 100c is too high. My room is quite cold, but i'm idling at

Core1: 22c
Core2: 22c
Core3: 14c
Core4: 16c

Serves me right for leaving my window open all night

I'm afraid that there are some things I'll never do for overclocking, and getting pneumonia is one of them. :p
