Need OC help -> P5B +E6300

[messerchmidt]

Hey all

have trouble with my friends system

basic specs

core 2 duo e6300 w/ Arctic silver 5 and coolermaster hyper48
Asus P5B Vanilla (Vdimm mod only)
2x 1gb of Corsair ddr667 value ram (overclocks like mad!)
x1900 AIW PCI-E [stock]
Firewire PCI card
320gb seagate SATA
Panasonic 16x DVDR
600w seasonic PSU
Lilan case with 4 fans

I upgraded the system for my buddy from his 3.2HT P4, Asus 915p mobo with 1gb ram - used the hyper 48 heat sink off there. This guy does mainly video editing and photoshop. has a 30 inch dell - AIW x1900 was cheapest dual dvi link card. Uses firewire so the AIW features are of little use. ANYWAYS:

I used the hyper 48 from his P4 rig and added AS5

Temps at idle according to core temp beta .95 - > completely stock temps at 40*C idle and 53*C load. Asus mobo probe says board is running at 46-47*C. This is with all the c2d temperature features on and the hyper 48 w/ As5 running at 3500rpm.

I am getting stupid overclocked temps on his system. At 3.15ghz, I am getting 52* idle and 66* C load according to core temp (!!!!) Motherboard remains at 47*C overclocked. had to do the vdimm mod to get this overclock stable on this POS board.

These temps all seem high, especialyl since I am using a hyper48 and AS5. I lapped the heatsink, remounted it several times, applied new AS5 - No dice. I added a fan to the northbridge and applied As5 to the heatsinks between the NB and SB.

What could be causing this increase in temperatures? even at stock they look high. Would buying a better heat sink like a Big typhoon help? This is driving me nuts!!!


I got a e6300 with a big typhoon on a EVGA i680, same ram @ 3.4ghz at 1.4v. My case is open. CPU is doing 28 idle and 44 load according to core temp. WTF could be wrong with my friends system? PLZ HELP?!

P.s going to do vcore and vdrop mods tomm, anygone got a link to pics of a vmch mod on the p5b vanilla?

Well first, what exactly are you considering load?

Running 2 instances of P95 on mine, My 6300 gets up to 59C. Running TAT, they get up to 67C. From what I've seen on different forums, around 60ish in typical when running TAT. It seems to heat the 6300 more than 2 x prime95.

BTW, I am using big typhoon on mine, running 460*7 (3.22ghz) at 1.4v. Also on P5b deluxe.

If you were only getting up to 44C with loads from those apps, consider yourself very lucky.
