791990 2009-07-15 22:40:00 I have finally got the courage to overclock and got my q6600 right up to 3.2ghz very easily! The temps are about 30 degrees after about 30 mins of prime 95 with four threads right at 100%. I have a coolermaster v8 cpu cooler and a coolermaster haf 932 case. So, how far do you think I would be able to overclock too? :) Openingfuel (14473)
791991 2009-07-15 22:47:00 I doubt it's at 30 degrees full Prime95 load under a V8. What program are you using to monitor temps? Use Realtemp.

I had mine at 3.4GHz and it did low 60s during IBR. Mid 50s during Prime95.

791992 2009-07-15 22:58:00 I am using everest to monitor temps and at the moment it says 32 for cpu, 30 core 1, 28 core 2, 26 core 3 and 27 degrees core 4. Ill have a go with the software you have mentioned. Openingfuel (14473)
791993 2009-07-15 23:04:00 Yeah my everest also reports temps that are about 15 degrees lower then what Realtemp reports. qazwsxokmijn (102)
791994 2009-07-15 23:04:00 With realtemp it shows 37 33 32 35 Openingfuel (14473)
791995 2009-07-15 23:15:00 Wow that's great temps. Take it up to 3.4GHz and see how it goes. qazwsxokmijn (102)
791996 2009-07-15 23:24:00 I might just do that ;) Openingfuel (14473)
791997 2009-07-15 23:43:00 I got it on 3.42ghz on a 1.5 voltage. Starting temp was 36 and now pickingup because of prime 95. Lets see what happens! Openingfuel (14473)
791998 2009-07-16 02:36:00 Just do it fa***t Tuneznz (13203)
791999 2009-07-16 06:01:00 Those are really nice temps for a Q6600... Blam (54)
