| 664452 | 2008-05-01 20:47:00 | Overclocking Core 2 Duo's is very easy. ****You should not go over 3gig on the Intel stock cooler, however it will be fine up to 3gig, after that you need a aftermarket cooler. [] Can't agree with that. I have O/C to 3.82 and have stock standard cooling. CPU temp settles at about 48c. I would be very careful about increasing voltage, that's the dangerous bit.With the ASUS m/b (luckily) your computer will just switch itself off it you try to go too far. I currentlly have my X6800 running at just over 3.6 (default 2.97) just by increasing fsb and multiplyer. Voltages are set on Auto. The computer is comfortable with this and I am happy. I am also running the ASUS version of "Cool and Quiet". My fans are running at the slower speed and everything runs smoothly and quietly:clap |

If your quoting Tcase your Tjunction is prob around 61C (could easily go 15C higher on a 30C+ summer day). ^^ great example of someone not understanding Core2/Quad temperatures and how some software reads Tcase and others Tjunction, quoting a temperature without quoting which one you are talking about is pointless, as the thermal tolerance limits are different. Edit, Actually I bet that 48C temp you quoted is not even a load tempoerature, there is no WAY you can run a C2D X6800 safely at 3.6gig+ on a Intel stock cooler unless it is throttling and you don't know it. Download Intel thermal monitor and test, I would be worried (don't forget to click "start" on each core for load) www.techpowerup.com |

| 664455 | 2008-06-24 00:51:00 | Best to go to here (forums.overclockers.co.nz) and read the stickys. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions, I'd rather look stupid than intelligent with melted components. |
