IVIYTH0S Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I must have a nice chip I have my Q6600 running on stock volts CPU-Z reports 1.280v with 8*400, The only thing holding me back has been my memory it doesn't like much above stock throw some 1066mhz ram in there, ddr2 cheap is so cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Frankenstein Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Why not keep that RAM you have and use the 9 multi? My temps at load on 3.2 are 70c, I had trouble booting at 9*400 and my temps went too high when I pushed up the juice so pulling back the FSB started under clocking my memory so for the best of all worlds 8*400 keeping my mem at 1:1 and temps within check Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you may need either better cooling or perhaps reseat and apply AS5 to your cpu cooler. If it were me though I would rather have a higher cpu clock speed than higher RAM speed. Nothing wrong with scaling the RAM back to get more hertz from the cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Frankenstein Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 True i am using AS5 currently I managed to damage one of the Pins that hold down the HSF for my Arctic Cooling becaus it so fecking fidley to install when the board is inside my case. I am pretty sure its on tight though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 My temps at load on 3.2 are 70c lol, is your fan even on?! at 1.575v (BIOS), 8x425=3400, my CPU is at 62 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benvidia Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I got a Q6600 on a 780i, Basically the same board apart from a few little things, Generally overclock the same tho to my knowledge. I was running my G0 revision with a VID of 1.325V at 3.6ghz (400x9) on 1.4875Vcore with the vdrop mod holding 1.48V under load. I was able to prime95 for 1 hour before crashing with an error in Prime95. I have just decided to go for 3.6ghz (450x8) at the same vcore and it just did 2 hours 10 mins on prime 95 large FFT's maxing out at 72 C on core 1 and 65 C CPU die temp.
