Q6600 High Temps

[PCTwin]

how warm is your 240v pump. See if it's dumping a lot of heat into the system. I run distilled water only with a DDC ultra 18w and my water temp is 30c and my quad loads about 50c+.

[sevsman]

It's probably about 20c which i know is warm, but it is still cooler than the return fluid that it comes into contact with.

The only thing that really is stumping me is the fact that the fluid is still warm on the out from the rad. Even if the rad is inadequte i would of thought that the extra fans would have made atleast a minimal temp difference, but even if i remove the 2 scythe and leave just the crappy thermaltak fans the temps are still the same.

Strange one

Diablo was right, its a mixture of the rad cant disapate the heat fast enough and probably the pump is dumping heat also. Go to WCUK and buy a thermochill pa120.2 matey, be the best rad you ever own

[sevsman]

Well i just rebuilt it and now the temps are 25-25-30-31 idle and 67-67-65-65 loaded.

The temps are a bit better but i'm going to get a new rad probably newt week.

However i'm pushing 1.5v for 3.45ghz so i'm not to sure if it's worth it really as i don't think i'm going to get any more out of this chip than i already am.

Is it the Q8600 that is the new good OC'r?

Thanks again guys

that seems a high vcore for only 3.45

[PCTwin]

These old kentsfields take a bit of voltage once past 3.3. I,m pushing 1.51v for 3.5g on B3 QX6700.

[sevsman]

I've looked around and i too thought it was a bit high, especially as it's a GO and not a B3.

But it doesn't seem to matter what i do i just can't get it to run without BSOD with anything less than 1.5. And it's at 3.54Ghz and not 3.45Ghz. Another typo Lol

[nepas]

so whats the vid?If its a new chip with a highish vid then that explains your high voltage,if it is one of the new chips then you have done well to get to 3.5 as most of the ones wont go past 3.2-3.4

[sevsman]

It's only 1.275v, so i thought it would do about 3.6 @1.4v - 1.45v but i've had no luck past 3.54 yet. And that is with a hell of alot of time spent trying aswell.

The mobo is a P5Q-PRO and i've also read that this board is sweet for OC'ing aswell. I've had the fsb stable at 2000 so it can only be the chip. And i've RMA'd 2 of these boards aswell so i know it shouldn't be anything else on the board either..

[nepas]

mmm good board and decent vid,seems very weird why your temps are so high,I am running a Q6600 at 3.8 with 1.42v on a 240 rad and I load at 55-58
