The stacker is huge.

I have made my new pc and am very happy with the case, Its a A380 Xclio case which has 2 x 250mm fans , bought it just for the fans.

Also overclocked my E6600 on my P5W64-WS (brilliant and super stable board)
Using a infinity and coolaborotory liquid pro I was getting 38c idle at 2.4ghz but now its at 3.33ghz and the temps are 50c idle and on load with heat testing on prime its running at 65c.

If i do normal prime without the heat test it runs at 60c , however it is the first day and I expect the thermal paste to settle over the next two weeks.
 
2x250mm?!!? Pics! Also, are those core temps or speedfan/asus ai?
 


check these , i will be able to tell you when it starts to throttle.
 
wow! and i thought i had problems!

well, then again
P5B Deluxe
6300 @ 3.2 (450x7)
Gskill ram 2gig HZ @ 4-4-4-15 Cas:4
Ninja+fan
P180 all fans set to low.


idle around 54
load is 62
Dual core Pi
and Prime for 4 hours

i stopped pushing it because i dont want a loud system, but a silent one... and it also warms my feet :D
 
My stock E6300 Loads around 46 with the stock HSF.... if it's warm in the room I'll hit 49 tops.

Running 1.3065Volts through it, but I'm getting errors in Folding@Home, but I think it's because my poor 512MB stick of RAM isn't pulling it's weight.

LOAD:49
IDLE:39-40

Measured with TAT (Intel Thermal Analysis Tool)
 
E6600, stock everything, first run.
Asus P5WDH Deluxe
Ambient : 31C (from bios when first booting... it feels warmer though)
Idle CPU: 44C
Idle MB: about 40C

When copying data over a network the MB goes up to about 48C
I havent yet had time to do a test on load, but will tonight.

This is in a Lian-Li PC71 Case with the 2 front fans not connected. The 4 rear fans are running around 2200rpm.

All temps from bios and PC Probe. Will check the Core Temp tonight.

This seems a bit warm though? I thought the PC71 with its 4 fans should be able to keep temps down?
 
carrots that's fine for stock speeds and cooling. bottom line for us temp whack jobs is this...though we'll still spend money to make things cooler:

mb temps: keep under 50C

cpu temps: keep under 60C Load

idle: anything below 45C is acceptable and won't degrade perfromance; but that is on the high side. You should be able to have high 30's easily with stock settings.

My mb runs at 44 no matter what I do, and I have a small fan on the NB, a large 120mm fan blowing towards the vid card. my cpu idles at 44; I"ve tried the cnps9500led, and I much prefer my thermal take bt since it's SO QUIET, and the performance is slightly better than the Zalman.

I even tried water cooling and temps were the same (thermaltake silent water). Too much hassle, not enough improvement.

I currently load with ORTHOS at 58, idle at 44. However, the thing is, I have all my fans on low except that NB fan and vid card fan, you can't really hear anything out of that P180.

It's a compromise of silence and cooling, but I'm happy with it for now. Will go water cooling eventually, or I might try one of those self-contained water cooling jobbies by thermaltake just for kicks.
Looks safe and easy

At full load, running 43/56 now for 11 minutes to double check my info...I'm happy with that.
 
It's cooled down a bit this evening, but it got to be almost 32c in my room today. Anyway, here is what I came up with...

Core 2 Duo E6600 at stock settings
Retail Intel HSF
Intel D975XBX mobo
Antec P180 (side opened, case fans on medium setting)

Room temp = 28-30c
Internal temp = 43-45c
====================
CoreTemp: 50-51c idle, 63-64c load (both cores)
SpeedFan: 50c idle, 63-64c load

I'll get some more readings whenever it decides to cool down in this room... :p
 
on my e6600 clocked to 2.75ghz temps are

idle = 30oC
load= 40oC

mobo temps 35oC

this is all on stock coolers and inside a thermaltake xaser3 alu case with standard 7 case fans with a tagan 480w psu all runs next to silent and i replaced the thermal paste with antec reference that dropped temps by abt 4oC
 
Hello,

I am new to overclocking and had a couple of questions. The first came from reading through this thread. What do the terms "throttle" and "lapping" mean?

Second, I'm a bit confused about my temps. I have not overclocked anything yet. I originally tested my idle temperature using SysTool and it gave me a reading of 68C. I thought maybe it had something to do with my motherboard (p5W DH Dlx) not being on their starting list for settings. I then read some of this board and grabbed CoreTemp. That gave me idle temp 53C/ 1hr orthos load of 67C. Speedfan 4.28 gives me readings of idle 38C/ 1 hr orthos load of 54C. You can see this is a little confusing to a first time overclocker :)

My system is an E6600 @2400 (it kind of wavers on its own to 2404ish)
Intel Stock cooler
Vcore says 1.28-1.29 in speedfan
(267.14x9) is what Core Temp says for proc speed
Corsair 620W power supply (has a 120mm fan taking air out directly above the proc)
Asus P5W DH deluxe (bios 1305)
2x1GB Corsair 6400c4 (4-4-4-15)
BFG 7600GT 256 OC edition
2-150GB Raptors (raid-0)
a mid-tower case with a top mounted 80mm fan exhaust(between where the ps and the optical drives are), and a rear 80mm fan exhaust (to the right of the I/O panel)
I don't have an intake fan on the front of the case.


I'd appreciate some advice on how to proceed. Should I get my system temps verified, add more/better fans, or go ahead and attempt some overclocking? If you need more info from me about the system I'd be happy to share it.

Thanks for the help!
 
First off.... lapping is for the VERY brave/insane. Lapping is when you dont thing the top of your CPU is level enough to effectively transfer heat to your heatsink... you then sand it down... with sandpaper....
Throttling is when your CPU decreases speed to save itself from overheating, or just to coserve power.

CoreTemp gives me readings of about 10C higher than the other software (speedfan, Asus probe etc). Other people like yourself could notice about 15C difference. CoreTemp measures the temps inside your CPU, and is more accurate.

Thats about all I know... Im a n00b as well.

PS, stock I get loads of about 60C during 10min prime with CoreTemp. Im not patient enough for that whole 4 hour thing yet.
3.15Ghz overclock @ 1.325V I get 70C during the 10 min prime. It stabilises in about 5min's time.

I'm considering getting a Zalmal 9500.....
 
I recently tried the Zalman 9500cnps whatever to see if it worked better for me than my thermaltake BT. All I can say is it was WAY louder than my BT, and the temps were slightly higher 1-2C.

The BT is so great for just being really quiet. Next to the Zalman, which everyone says is so quiet, it sounded absolutely silent and convinced me to just reinstall the BT and leave well enough alone.

My .02 for the BT; though I wouldn't be opposed to the ninja sycthe new revision as I think the fan blowing sideways would be even better than my BT (with a p180 case).
 
I built my C2D rig last night.

E6600 with Scythe Ninja; stock clock speed
-Load: 35C
-Idle: ~25C to 27C (memory is a bit fuzzy on the idle)
P5W DH Deluxe
-Chipset Load: 37C

I should have a lot of fun overclocking this puppy this weekend!
 
Wow - either I'm reading my temps wrong or I just have a cool running CPU ( speedfan and Ez both give same readings and bios agrees with Idle speeds)

Scythe SCMN-1000

Ambient: 18c

Idles 18-20c
Load 28-30c

This is in a mATX case as well.....

I have an E6600 coming this weekend and I'll post the temps then to. I don't OC (and short the bragging rights don't really see a need to) so maybe thats also why my temps are so low...
 
Here is mine..i think it is a bit hot, i might recheck the heatsink again tomorrow to tighten it..

Using Thermaltake Big Typhoon

Board: Asus P5NSLI
CPU: E6400
Overclocked 2.4Ghz @ 300 x 8

My P5W Deluxe gets to 53oC under load... but under no load at all it sites a 49oC. I have been told its a problem with the P5W boards.

What board? Gigabyte? What's your ambient temp/airflow like?
Click to expand...

Assuming you meant that for me? :) My board is actually not what everyone else is using as I got it for free essentially - Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2. mATX box, but I have *excellent* airflow into and out of the case as I took the time to dress my cables properly. The Scythe was a *huge* help.

Have you taken off the MB heatsink covers? Mine idles at 34 and just a couple degrees more under load.

Right on. What does core temp tell you? It seems to be fairly consistent across all boards.

DDC 12V pump-TDX watercooling-2X120mm rad
Temps via Speedfan
Speedstep and thermal control is left ON to see if it limited my OC.
Idle down to 28C
Load as high as 50C with OrthosPrime running 10+hrs

Edit for Ambient: well, AC and digital thermostat, but that is the warmest room in the house (solar and PCs). Avg Ambient say 71F (21.67C), to max of 74F (23.33C).

Core is constant with speedfan 18-20c idle so either I have a proc thats running slow (doubtful) or I just managed to hit it just right and have a nice cool running proc...

I'm tempted to bump up the speeds but my memory is basic and slow :(
 
See sig for pc spec

Temps:
34-35 C Idle on Core Temp
44-45 C idle on Asus Probe II
Somehow I can't get speedfan to read my cpu temps, but maybe i'm just a noob :p

10 C difference is huge though...

Edit: Did 1h of Prime
51-52 C on Core Temp
61 C on Asus Probe II

Edit #2: Done my first OC tonight!

E6400 @ 2662MHz (8 x 333)

Idle: 44-46 Core Temp (53 Asus Probe II)
1/2h Prime load: 56 Core Temp (66 Asus Probe II)

Now can't wait to get my Scythe Ninja...

20C... inside your case? wow
 
ok, yeah, i wasn't sure. 20c case temp would be crazy, but not totally unbelievable.

i have a asus P5B-D with a e6400 with a zalman 120mm 7700cu running at 950rpm that keeps my cpu at 39-45 idle, and 55-56c full load, and my case is a little warm, as i have not finished my build yet. These temps are from Asus probe.
 
You know these temperature threads are funny because, without knowing the ambient temp of the room, the info is worthless. Recently it got colder in texas (I mean not in the 90's) and my temps have come down to what I've been reading about from some of the better temps here (sub 40C for mb & cpu at idle).

Now, I did lap my HSF, my cpu, and my mb passive cooler; which certainly helped, but I'm running 47C at load @ 3.219ghz (7x460); and I know the reason why is cause this room is alot cooler than it is in summer.

Therefore, without a preset environment, these temps all over the place don't really say much. I think, based on spec sheets and the info that I've gathered, you're still fine at under 50 for the mb (though that is hot as a mofo!) and under 60 for your cpu (though that would warrant improved cooling).

I'm real happy in the meanwhile to have sub 40C temps with my new system that is virtually SILENT (all fans on low)...I can't even tell it's on sometimes. And without watercooling...I feel like I can finally enjoy this monster I made months ago, since I've been obsessed with getting the temps lower.

LAPPING was very important for me to do, and I consider it the main reason my temps are so good now. See:
 
This is w/ 25C ambient in Phoenix. Yea for winter!! I have found large fft's to give higher temps and crash faster than small or blend, so that's what you'll see here.
