Overclocking E6600.....

[josh_1413]

I updated the FSB from 266 Mhz to 290Mhz. I'm now at 2.610GHz with stock cooling..............and sitting at 58C. Is that a safe temp? What would be too high?

its ok... what HSF and is that idle or full load? Also where are you getting your temps from?

Stock heatsink 57C with both cores at full load. I'm getting my readings from Asus PC Probe and Asus AI suite..

stock. i would recommend upgrading if you really wanna push it like a tuniq tower. also i would recommend using core temp or intel thermal analysis since its gets temps of cpu which is more accurate.

use intel TAT or Coretemp beta to get your temperatures. Motherboard software really sucks for that stuff.

Using Intel thermal analysis it gets up to 65, is that fine?

as long as its stable.. run orthos for a 4-5 hrs and see what happens..

just my preference but i like to keep my cpu in 50s range on full load
