O'C temps

[format]

I O'C'd my e6750 to 3.0ghz and its sitting pretty at 50 after an hour of Prime95.

This is my first O'C - should I try and push it to 3.2 (or higher?) or just leave it?

up to you, 3GHz is a pretty decent speed. What cooler are you using?

[format]

see - my system

TRUE (black edition for extra 1337 points) with a sharkoon 1000 fan.

I would be happy running at full load temps (under prime/orthos/linpack) of low sixties as you are unlikely to stress the CPU that hard when playing games etc.

I was going to say something like "Wow so hot my E6550 at 3.5GHz is running at full load in the low forties and has been for the last week" but then I remembered I was water cooled and your not and it all made sense

Still think your perhaps a little warm my chip when I was on air (Thermalright Ultima 90) was ~55°C under Orthos at 3.5GHz 1.33v in BIOS 1.29V under load reported by Everest/CPUZ. What voltage are you running at?

To be honest, I think thats going to be fine. I've just build the system in my sig and went through the whole thing with temps too... I used Intel Burn Test, as that pushes the temps even more than prime and orthos, and basically used it to test stability of the OC.

However, it comes down to what you use it for. If its for gaming, test by having a really long gaming session - then check temps. I never get anywhere near what I got in those stress apps.

But regardless, thats a good OC and the temps may not be ice cold, but they arent exactly dangerous are they.

I get a max temp of 65 running prime 95 for a few hours. That's a Q6600 at just over 3gHz. Too high perhaps?

(sorry for thread hijack ).

Depends on what cooler you're using. Q6600's can go higher than that.

Nah I meant is 65 too high? Eh, Scythe Ninja.

CPU Z says 1.170 just now... I don't really have a clue about voltages - do you want me to check in the bios?
I think I remember it saying 1.3 something...

K, bios says 1.3500.

Is that good?

NeedMoarFarms those sorts of temps are fine nothing to worry about as long as they are stabilised after those few hours and not still going up (make sure your room temp isn't going up at the same time mind or else it will effect the CPU temp)

Format,

It is neither good or bad it just is what it is. Seems like your temps are about right really though I would expect you to beable to push the chip a bit further and if you don't need to raise the volts you will see less of a rise in temps.

[format]

well I've put it to 3.2 and I'm going to leave it there

Seems like a nice rounded number.
