The Conroe Overclocking Thread

[dancingmatt]

Whats the max temp before they start thermal limiting?

maximum temperature for reliable operation of the E6600 processor is 60.1°C

http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SL9S8
.

Does anyone know exactly what temperature that refers to? I can easily get 70C in Core Temp on my E6600 with dual Prime95s running and a Freezer 7 Pro running at ~900RPM, and I'm not overclocking at all.

Should the Core Temp reading not go about 60.1C? It also says "Tcasemax 85C", no idea what that is.

Basically I've seen the 60.1C mentioned a few times but I don't know which reading in Core Temp/Sandra/Everest/PC Probe II/RM Clock shouldn't go that high!

Finally cracked my problems last night

Seems that everytime I change the multiplier I then have to toggle the power switch on the PSU.....which normally initiates the "You have overclocked too far" failsafe default...

Now running at 7 x 466.....will play around more later but loving the extra memory bandwidth I've unleashed

3.26GHz @ 1.425v - 65c under full stress (4 hours of WoW )

Guess the OCZ RAM isn't too bad afterall and reportedly goes to 500/1000MHz

, I have given my ram +0.5v and I am ignoring the fail message in the pc health section and I now seem to be able to orthos successfully with the ram at 950Mhz, I can prob get higher but I am now aiming for 400x9 and ram at 2.5 divider (for 1Ghz )

Isnt that a bit too hot for a conroe? Isn't the limit 61.5C?

65c isnt bad for air cooling, and dont forget that the asus boards report higher than what is thought to be normal, and if he was reading temps with asusprobe, he can probably knock another 6c off that

Well....here's my results with a Ds4 + E6600...

my PB Super pi 13.7s and she boots at 500fsb not bad i suppose.

nice that geil ram, is it 5300 stuff?..what model is it?

Hi clunk....it shows up as 5300 but it is actualy GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency....i had it at a bargain price when it fist came out.

[Clunk]

ok thanks, im looking for some decent cheaper ram that overclocks well thats all

Same here, I got it for like 120 when it first appeared... Glad I bought it saved me £60 - £80ish. I will be testing the rig in my signature tonight when I get back to the girlfriends. Hopefully we will see some good stuff!

Check out the thread in Abit.care if you want to see some pictures.

@ clunk....No prob's and good luck finding some decent cheaper ram as prices are pretty high on DDR2 at the mo.

@ chrisg22...let us know how you get on....been waiting to see some results with that board.

[ExceededGoku]

heh I got that GeIL stuff aswell...

[jimborae]

I got the Geil as well, unfortunately the Asus P5w-DH doesn't like it too much when overclocking. Hopefully Asus will pull their finger out & release a sorted bios.

[D-BEAR]

Ok...guys with the geil ram what's the highest you've got it.

Here's mine.

haven't tried higher than 400Mhz since my board is not as good as yours

Sorry to hear that ExceededGoku...you must be very dissapointed... i thought the DQ6 was supposed to be the best...nevermind perhaps they'll make a better bios sometime soon.
