newbie, trying to OC Q6600 Premium

[nichos]

Well I reseated cooler to cpu with "Silver Thermal compnd (formula 5)" and on startup temps showed 23c.

But after 10mns stress with temps down to 40c, #3 core shutdowm p95, as per screenshot below

Edit: bagary did'nt show up again!

HAAAAAM fix it please

 

[!TIMMY!]

Right well your temps look better just try upping the vcore a little, then use Prime to see if it is stable. Keep repeating until Prime can run for 8 hours with no errors, then it is stable. You shouldn't need more than around 1.3v to get your q6600 stable @ 3.0ghz.

For the screenshot you need to put 'http://' in front of the 'i404....':

Thanx, am proceeding with increases step by step.

I do but gramma won,t allow it:-

Adjust TJ.max to 95 in Real Temp so that it will at least show the right temps.

To go back a bit to Phoenix's sugestion above, why do it if CoreTemp, Hardware Monitor, Speedfan & Everest show temps that Real Temp shows set at 100.

Also since I started learning to OC, when I push the start button it fires for a second, stops & 3-4scs later starts.

 

[Phoenix]

Don't know if CoreTemp has fixed the TJ.max for Q6600, but if not, you just edit the settings-file from 0 to -5, and it will also show correct temps.

 

[nichos]

Thanx, it gives same or higher, & what about the rest progs?

And if it gives same temps as RealTemp at 100 it must have its TJ adjusted the same.

Whom do you beleave?

 

[Phoenix]

That's correct. And as for the other programs, I don't know, cause I haven't used them, but look around in configs and settings, and you'll probably find it somewhere.

 

[nichos]

With the following Bios settings P95 run for an hr for 3 & 3.2 ghz, at around 52c. I tried varius sttings a step at a time. Is it a representative temp. or can you suggest improvements before I proceed on long tests.

Laymans language please as I am not OC litterate.

Note: AuxFan 2” is sitting on N or S bridge, the one above the cpu(foto}

I have PM them to TIMMY.

There you go.

 

[usman.zx10]

i would suggest better airflow in the case as the first step. the fact that you are hitting 69 on this mild overclock is wild. you need to seriously invest in a better case IMHO

 

[!TIMMY!]

Last time ill do this, you are almost at 15 posts.

 

[nichos]

thanx Timmy, wnt bother you any more.

 

[nichos]

Thanx Usman,

I have recently upgraded the CPU cooler & PSU and temps decreased a lot but have been unable to get below 56c, & the grfx card 60c.

But as I will only be using this 3.2mgz OC now & then for fs9 where it only reaches 47c I feel it should be safe.

I will post separately a screen shot of the short 2hr p95 test.
