I like my Q6600

[Hatman]

Dissapointed that it still gets up to 50degrees even with that WC'ing kit. Was kinda hoping that if i went WC'ing it would stay under 40 at that stage. but I guess not...

Is a GPU and CPU and Chipset wc'd with a 1k l/h pump and a 3x 60fsm 360mm fan rad still going to get me 50degrees?

Sorry to kinda hijaak you're thread a bit, but its already here

Anyway to get it down below 40degrees? Thanks.

edit: also tuco dont need wc'ing for those tmeps, I got a thermalright ultima90 and it keeps my stuff at 3ghz/1.3vcore always below 50degrees even under a 3h stress test, taht with a 92mm fan, works great.

Is that at full load? If so it's not that bad. What is you loop order?

Why? Your temps are more than fine!

The CPU is rated at being able to handle 62.2 degrees sustained (B3). I want to have it constantly folding, and it's probably not great to be over the max recommended temperature 24/7. I plan on keeping my Q6600 in service for a few years, and I want to take it up another few hundred MHz.

Actually, I'm using a Zalman CNPS9700 HSF on my CPU, which is one of the better ones on the market. My case is an Antec Nine Hundred, which is one of the best cases in terms of ventilation as you'll be able to find. I want to take my CPU farther, and be able to have it folding 24/7.

Oh, no I havent got watercooling, thts just what wass hoping for when I did.

Yep the zalman is pretty good. Guess it depends on a few other things, the stacker is one of teh few cases that can beat the antec900 on cooling hehe.

Like your choice of CPU and GPU for your PC, Ichiban...

I decided to see what kind of system I could make on a budget of $1,200, the Q6600 and HD2900PRO giving the best power for the buck.

I'm considering getting a Q6600 to replace my E6600, but the sensible part of me says wait another couple of years to do a full overhaul. I try to impress upon people who want to buy a PC that DIY is the way to go... costs less, more powerful (especially if overclocked properly), and it isn't hard.

Back to the subject of this thread, pushing a CPU (or anything else) to Jupiter isn't a grand idea... just gimme the Moon and I'm happy. 3.5GHz for those Q6600's is pretty damn righteous, higher is cool if 100% stable, but I wouldn't want to chance torching my new proc just for an extra 100MHz.

(Herr Schmidt is rockin' a Q6600 @ 3.6GHz:worship: GJ, dude )

 

[Mr. Smith]

TJS! Where you been mate?

I'm rockin at 3.7, don't deny my 100mhz!!!

sorry been AWOL since starting this thread, anyhoo my new PC Power Quad Silencer 750W was DOA so sent that back today, so going to have to stick with my 4yr old Ocz Powerstream for now, but my other raptor arrived today so going to raid it after this post.

I did do a 4 hrs prime at 3.7ghz with 1.475v but then my pc shut down so i'm assuming its the PSU
