Re: Quad Core Thread: Overclocking, Cooling, Motherboards, Troubleshooting & General
I suspect either Asus Probe or the sensor chip on your motherboard threw a wobbly. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Re: Quad Core Thread: Overclocking, Cooling, Motherboards, Troubleshooting & General
Thanks for the replies again. I would have gotten a better fan for my cpu but I didnt fancy removing the motherboard to fit a back plate. Is there a better fan than the Arctic Freezer that doesnt require a backplate?

Scythe Ninja, you dont have to take the motherboard out to install this.

Really? I thought it did. I might have to get this and see if it can lower temps some more.

Hmm what would ideal temps be for a B3 Q6600 @ 3ghz would you say? I am tempted to clock mine (I have XMS2 DDR800 ram on a P5KC) but am unsure if I should do it still or better yet which way to OC it, raise the FSB or use an OC profile etc ?

Well the G0 has a max of 71c...while the B3's max is 62c...so it's whatever your confortable with i guess.

Which get blown straight out of the window when you oc, mine has run at 65c for 12hrs stable and is still beating.:mrgreen:
Basically anything under 100c is fine.

Hmmm! well mine is 40/40/35/35 idle (in order of core number) and under load 51/51/45/45 give or take a few.
How should I oc it, just raise the FSB a bit at a time? by my calc a decent oc would be on an FSB of around at least 300mhz instead of the stock 266mhzx4
I have the cpu fan at 50% power btw as I hate having a noisy fan :p

Anything under 100 is fine as long as it's the core temp, not the temps read by Asus Probe or speedfan.

I gave only what intel recommends....whatever peeps run them @ is entirely up to them....i've seen peeps running in the 80's with the G0 when priming.... not sure but i think it's 96c before the G0 starts to throttle....The max temp for a Q6600 B3 is about 72c (Tcase of 62c) with the throttling temp somewhere around 82c.....mine with prime running hits 60c @ 3.5ghz.:mrgreen:

A B3 Quad @ 1.45v @ 3500Mhz @ 60c under load in prime?
Whats that measured with? Sounds dubious to me :)

Isn't he running a G0 Quad (saying this by looking at his sig)

Thats how I read it.
Even so, with 1.45v going through it, 60c is optimistic, but I would like to be wrong :)

Re: Quad Core Thread: Overclocking, Cooling, Motherboards, Troubleshooting & General
Finally ordered a Q6600 and received an SLACR today. Haven't tested max o/c and probably won't since with 4x2GB RAM I can't push it beyond 800MHz, but I may try for 9x400 later on just for kicks. Anyway, with a Thermalright Ultra Extreme and a 120x38mm Panaflo fan I get 40C idle and 65C load @ 3.2GHz (8x400) and 1.425V with 2x Orthos running. Quite happy with that.

If he's on air, I'd be will to bet a small sum of money he's not reading those temps with coretemp. I reckon we can add 15° onto them.
My Vcore is about the same, I'm overclocked to 3.42GHz and I'm currently hitting about 55°C full load, but it is pretty cool in my computer room (19°C) and I'm watercooled.
