C2D 6600@3520 / 1.36v

[HellasVagabond]

I just achieved a stable OC of my CPU running on Air Cooling at 3520mhz ( 1120mhz above stock ) with 1.36v and in quite good temps in comparison with most Air Cooled 6600s ive seen.
Opinions ?

PS : I runned Orthos for 9 hours during the night but didnt snapshot it thus i did a new orthos for 10+ mins to provide a snapshot. Temps were even lower ( -1,2 degrees ) after 9 hours with Orthos..Weird.


C2D6600@ 3520MHZ IDLE




C2D6600@ 3520MHZ FULL LOAD / STRESS

Tis an awesome speed to be sure.
What speeds did tigger get? Im pretty sure he got something similar with an E6300.

If he got that much, theoretically you should be able to go a bit further with some luck

Id love to clock mine that high, but I'd never keep it at that speed in a 24/7 overclock.
Nice work man

 

[HellasVagabond]

I can take it to 3600mhz with 45 degrees idle and 60 full load
I even took it to 3800 with 52 idle and 67 load but thats too much.
Either way the 3520 to 3600 overclock aint worth the fuzz if i am to monitor my temps all the time.

 

[ex_reven]

Thats pretty cool man.
3DMark 06 Score?

i got mine to 3.9ghz(560fsb(i think)) max.it does 500fsb(3.5ghz) at 1.325vcore orthos stable.

nice oc tho'.well done

 

[HellasVagabond]

Id never get it up there...Too afraid of the temps and i aint running on water.
Are you on air ?
Did you try to 3dmark it ? Play a game ?
I found out that at 3.6 with 1.45 i could run orthos for 3+ hours stable but i couldnt 3dmark nor play battlefield 2142.
Weird things.

HellasVagabond,
Amazing OC for such a low vCore!

What's the batch number of the CPU?
(see the sticker on retail box: FPO/BATCH#: L6~~~~~~)

I found that Orthos isnt using 100% of the CPU Have you tryed TAT ? And put 100% load on both cores ? The temps are going to be higher and if it doesnt have enough Volts its going to restart but that what happens to me I dont know if it would just frezze for you.

TAT will do what Intel designed it to do, run the CPU the hottest possible, so hot that you cannot replicate it with anything else. My e6300 under Orthos w/Priority 9 only hits ~53c at my OC levels, with TAT my CPU jumps up to ~62c! I'd stick with Orthos because it's closer to what you'll be stressing your CPU at, and even at that you'd have to work pretty hard to load your CPU consistently to match the load Orthos provides.

HellasVagabond, have you manually set your other voltage settings in bios to match your OC?
In 3dMark would it start benching? And if so how long until it failed?

Also good OC man, now if you can tweak it to be stable and cool running you'll have yourself a great system!

 

[HellasVagabond]

Since EVEREST claims the CPUs are running at 100% i am willing to believe them.
These guys have been around for years and years.
Besides i wasnt Just running Orthos.

RMCLOCK
CORETEMP
EVEREST
ORTHOS
SNAGIT

So even if Orthos was lets say using 95% i think the rest of the programs would take 5% of the CPU.

As for the 3dmark , i run it 3 times.
One time it started but failed in test Number 2
The other failed in test Number 6
The last time it finished ok but i pressed Print Screen instead of using Snagit and i didnt manage to save a snapshot

Either Way ill try TAT

Ya man...TAT will show your true temps (T_junction)...Everest is a few degrees cooler (about 15c cooler reading the T_case) , and Orthos (tho they say 100%) will not heat up my cores like TAT will....Trust TAT....If memory serves me, you need to stay in the under 75c running TAT full load for that cpu....

 

[HellasVagabond]

Intel recommends
60 degrees when it comes to General CPU Load ( I get 48 max there ).
70 degress when it comes to Core Temps ( I get 56-57 max there )
110 degress when it comes to Tjunction ( Never tried it )

So in a few words since im good in 2 out of 3 and i have yet to try the third i think im ok.
As for TAT well , when i try to start the stress test it says
"Unable to read the processor frequency"
Is there a newer version other than the 2.05 ?

 

[Kursah]

Hmm...may have a problem with x64 os....

 

[HellasVagabond]

there should be a newer version but i cant find it

 

[HellasVagabond]

+10mhz up.
Lowered memories from 880 to 800, multiplier x9

 

[ntdouglas]

Hellasvagabond. What revision is your dq6?

 

[HellasVagabond]

unfortunantly its revision 1.0

 

[Frogger]

Hmm...may have a problem with x64 os....

TAT won't run on 64 bit

 

[Casheti]

i got mine to 3.9ghz(560fsb(i think)) max.it does 500fsb(3.5ghz) at 1.325vcore orthos stable.

Legendary OC!!!

Er, what the hell?

 

[Casheti]

It's a shame he got that new ram otherwise he'd still be owning...

And tigger had the legendary Pentium D 930 which was massively OC'ed!

I guess he's lucky with chips...

 

[ntdouglas]

I have rev 1 also. Did you say earlier your at f9? I thought f9 was for rev 3.3 only.
I tried f9 and thought it was buggy. Maybe I was getting oc instability instead.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

thanks casheti ,the 930 was 4.4ghz i think.

i think my success has been down to good mb's,good ram and loads a luck.

 

[Kursah]

And good OC skills...you make it an art dude! It takes a lot of time, patience, thought, open mindedness to create a great OC, the components are only as good as their owner (for the most part)!
