safe temps for q6600

[nepas]

anyone know what are the safe temps for a q6600?this is the highest mine has hit so far:



slowly getting there!!(dont know how much further it will go as its a poor nvidia board\\0

P.S. how the hell do you clock the memory with these boards????????It is running unlinked so far as i cant work it out:crazy:

Temps are 100% fine. Q6600's can run up to 70°C safely, although that is a little toasty

To clock the memory you either link it, or just up the frequency, dunno what else to say

 

[nepas]

mmmmm so you reckon 47-48 under load is a bit toasty?

as for the memory i have been running it unlinked at the mo as i haven't a clue what i am doing with this(too much time with amd!!)thought it would be simple like that but just wanted to make sure

He means 70 its a little toasty.

Your temps are bearly hot.

These temps are perfectly fine, though can I ask what cooler you're using?

I've seen the Q6600 run at 50-60'C on their stock coolers at stock speeds.

The Arctic Freezer 7 Pro is a good cooler at a cracking price, and it's what I have my Q6600 cooled by at 3.6Ghz. Alternatively there's the larger Tuniq Tower which is a bit more efficient but more expensive and fiddlier to fit.

its under water at the mo,with a basic cheap starter kit thing from xspc

Seens as your running vista, nice little gadget available. Download Lavalys's Comp prog called Everest. There is a good feature there on their option, osd, vista gadget. Or something like that. Youll find it. Shows all your temps, voltages etc in a nice little gadget. Can change colour of font, size, different components temps etc.

Just thought youd like to know

cheers mate,but i have already got that,just dont use it too often. I like to vary my sidebar so everest isnt on at the moment anyway,i have core temp running in the sys tray anyway for my main temps.

thats very good temps for a quad, is the loop cooling the cpu only?

I take it your running the standard kit with the 120.1 included radiator?

Buy a 120.2 radiator and replace the 120.1, you'll get much better temps

yeah,but i got the upgrade to 1/2" tubing so flow is a bit better anyway,but this kit was only bought to see if i would like w/c,which i do,so it will be moved onto my old rig,and i will buy a nice big kit for my quad and maybe mobo if i keep this asus POS

 

[inonefly]

tubing size will have minimum effect on the performance, a better radiator will improve the temp a lot

 

[Pat123]

The increased flow 1/2" tubing will bring will lower temps. Temps are looking good to me, i run around 40c full load at a similar clock.

 

[inonefly]

have a look at the test here, the tubing size effect temps very little if you are getting normal flow rates above 1 GPM (4LPM)
