Safe vcore for e6400???

[Rare1]

I have my system running stable at 3.2ghz but she needs 1.4 vcore. Any issues running this 24/7?

Load temps are 46C.

I dont see why not. I run my X6800 @ 1.475V , but Im on water. As long as you keep your temps below 55C Id say it should last 3 years easy. .05V over Intel's max voltage recommendation is not a big deal IMO.

Perfect. Honestly, All I need it to last is like 2 years.

Thanks, looks like I got a pretty decent chip

Rare1,

What week # code is on your chip? Should be on the CPU or the BOX "ie. wk 24 is L624A849". Thanks in advance.

L623A832

23rd week it looks like.

Thanks. Yours seems to fit the norm for <wk 25 chips. It seems wk25 and up are clocking much better. Unfortunately I have a wk 24 chip myself.

I could bench much higher, but I am going for 24/7 use.

 

[Rare1]

How much higher can I go for safe 24/7 operation?

46C with dual-Prime at 3.2 GHz? That can't be air or you're not running dual-Prime or Orthos.

I am running dual prime (orthos beta), with Scythe Ninja. Temps are accurate.

 

[zidion]

what are you using to read temps?

Man, I messed up getting a Scythe Mine then. Damn.

Easy Tune 5, and Core Temp

Also my case helps a lot, it was like made for the ninja I swear.



I have both tri-cool fans on high and the standard scythe at like 900RPM.

It is still more quiet than my lanboy.

my e6400 clocked at 3.16 runs 28-29C idle 50C load with one fan on the scythe ninja
running at 1.5v vcore.

this is using asus pc probe.

if I bump MCH voltage to 1.6 i can get full 3.2ghz stable but I'm going to wait for my 40mm fans to arrive before i run that 24/7.

EDIT: BTW I love the handdrawn fan

Thanks! MS paint ftw.

Yah, I knocked it back to 3Ghz for now. I dont want to burn it out too fast and the difference is not really noticable. I ran it dual prime for 11 hours no prob.
