this is my first overclock.
V core 1.3
2790 MHz
while i was running super pi my highest temp was only 36C while my idle is about 32C. before the OC my temp was only 31 idle. i think the temps might be wrong.
i;m pretty happy even thou my goal is 3Ghz (which i haven't tried yet) and that i;m not really noticing any major difference than 3.4.
 
Be careful with volts...unless you have watercooling that is (GOOD watercooling)
 
isn't there an option in the bios that allowes you to set a shutdown temperature. but all the mobos might not have this feature.... mine does :D
 
If you use speedfan, you can get it to add a "shutdown" event if the cpu temperature gets too high...

the command SHUTDOWN -s -t 01 (try it in CMD.exe first as I'm typing this from memory and am not 100% sure) will shut down your system in 1 second.

Add it to the events panel of speedfan (if CPU_TEMP > 60 for 2 updates: SHUTDOWN -s -t 01) and you set speedfan to start with windows, in the minimized position.

It uses like 3Mb of ram, and 0% processor time on a C2D... So it's very worth it :).


And anyways, as long as coretemp isn't saying you're above 60 degrees, you can keep going higher. I'd see how much further you could get the chip with your current level of voltage... You have an E6600, so it's guarenteed to be better than lower chips at stock voltage.
 
got it to 2925 today...
fan speed:998
temp:35
stock voltage
stock HSF

woot woot

psh my 3800+ am2 is higher than that. UP THAT SHIT!

Ya bro, keep going. MY E6300 is @ 3.22GHz and I only started @ 1.86GHz :) Great job so far though, keep having fun.....
 
hey guys guess what. Aibooster is reading
3006 MHz (9x334)
stock voltage
temp dropped down to 28c idle!!! (my house is fairly cold about 60F...my mom and my little bro got the cold)
when i was running superpi it only got up to 33C...we will have to see during the summer time.
 
yeah i have tried it...my temp goes way up. but aibooster, PCprobe, and sandra shows around 30C. i understand that those are not great temperture softwares but i don;t think all 3 can be wrong. BTW it;s in the 50s when i use core temp.

core0 50
core1 52

i just tried speedfan: 31c cpu
 
that last overclock didn;t pass 24 hour prime 95...i bumped down the fsb to 2950. that;s where it;s gonna stay for a while.
 
Nice OC!!! wow, This really makes me excited to get my C2D system next year :D

Right now Im stuck at 2.9 with my Opty though...

I agree with you on the CoreTemp program. Everyone says it reads more accurately, however, if it reads more accurately then why is it the ONLY program out of several that I have used that reads it so high?
 
Core temp IS a more accurate representation of core temperature.

The nature of the program dictates that, it gets the temp data from the source, not through the motherboard. The same way digital quality is lost when converted to analog then back to digital, temp data is effected when it's routed into the motherboard.

Either way, it'd be ignorant to assume the LOWEST temp. That'd be like buying a 400w PSU for a system that needs a 500w saying "it'll be ok"

Other than that, keep going up!
 
I'm still confused, and curious then as, why if CoreTemp is so much more accurate that other programs have not changed with new versions to utilize this same method? (I'm not trying to be rude, its truley just curiousity)

I believe it actually works by reading the temp off of a sensor in the CPU, as opposed to the motherboard sensor like most programs. I'm pretty sure there's also no analog data transfer that takes place on a motherboard.
 
i believe that coretemp is a lot more accuarate as someone pointed out that it takes the cpu temperture not the motherboard's interpertation of the cpu's temperture. i only use the other programs for reference to the temperture before overclocking.

with coretemp my temp is 42 and 45 (i can deal with that)

yes all three can be wrong. though its not a question of right and wrong...

its also not due to signal loss of any kind.

its where the temps are being read from. these new chips have different temp probes which most older software (by 'older' i mean more then a month or so). coretemp is designed to read the digital thermal sensor located in the core of each CPU. most other programs read die sensors located somewhere near the cpu, sometimes close to the IHS, sometimes actualy underneath the socket, but not directly where the heat is coming from.

it's a matter of where it takes the temp, instead of ....how it takes the temp :D (hope taht made since)
