Just got myself a Q6600 B3
- Thread starter duktayp
- Start date
Bad idea. Aria.co.uk have G0 for £147.

name='duktayp' said:unfortunately i can't send it back as i got it off ebay. and i bought it just before overclockers brought out the £140 cpu =/
but if i get it running at 3.3, it'll still be fine as that's almost a ghz oc.
..right?
....right?
I run my G0 @ 3ghz or 3.3. It`s a nice solid clock, and from 2.4 that`s damn good imo.
I know it`ll go higher, but if I`m not wc`ing, I`m not going to put up with the temps.
Put it down to experience and work with it, it`ll still clock very well and do you proud.
.... or sell it again on ebay
just an update on my b3 
it's under water at 3.4; 1.485v in bios. tried going for 3.5 with up to 1.52v in bios and a. it wasnt stable and b. way too hot
:nono:
still tho, cpu cores are hitting 68deg, and i know on the intel website it says 62.2 but people say otherwise. is this safe or..?

The ceiling temps, afaic, are also entwind with Intels idea of how long the cpu should last u, temps over the life of the cpu. Their boundries for a healthy install - I guess.
The clocking community, maybe mobo manufs too, would probably advise that 85deg as an absolute maximum to run a 1-off benchmarking run. Not something to stress the cpu over time at tho, and many mobos are default to shutdown at 85deg.
Electronically, I believe the Q6600, atleast the G0 version, has a maximum sensor temp of like 100/105 deg or something. And it`ll use this as a reference to report temps to the pc - i.e. how far from 100/105 u are. The clever software does the math for u and gives u the temp u report.
If ur stress testing (running all ur cores at max over a period of time) a mobo/cpu install, C2D in general I think, 70/75 deg is a sort of self warning that ur just around the temps where u don`t want to go any higher. Considering that hardly anything with run all ur cores at max during normal everday use, even when u run ur games etc, this is a good point to stop and settle at that oc.
Outside of normal use, u get people who run the likes of Folding platforms 24/7 - this is exactly the same as running a stress tester, similarly if u like to run benchmarking programs all the time. In these situations, I`d not like my cpu going much over 65. This allows for any change in room temps, and also gives u that much more lifespan to the cpu.
The 60-something u got is not a temp to be alarmed at - if this is at a point where u got all cores fully loaded. If this is idle, u have a problem, particulary if ur using water cooling.
I`d have to ask what temp reader is giving u the info also, some are grossly incorrect, some are closer.

4ghz b3 with 1.76 vcore, surely even if the temps are ok, the voltage will kill it..?
