Wow.. I have my Q6600 at 3.2 usin my Artic Cooler Pro 7. Idle temps are 42 for hot cores, 38 for cooler cores, and 62-63 hot cores,57-58 other 2 cores running prime 95.
I think I can even go higher because my Voltage is only like 2.26 or something like that.
It's crucial Ballistix 800 PC6400, so I wonder if I can get that high on this ram. What determines the VID on these chips that some have them higher then others?
Well I think that finally did it. I'm running Prime as we speak and my Core temps are maxing at 61/61/57/57. The idle temps are mid to high 30s.
If I want to go up to 3.2, what should I set my voltage to?
Also, I somehow doubt my ram is running at 4-4-4-12, and it should (Crucial Ballistix)
I've been reading that some have raised their voltage and its actually dropped the temps. The DS3L isn't the easiest board to Overclock, the bios is a bit eh.
Should I raise the voltage?
Ok, that's what I had originally thought. i used to build my boxes since I was a kid (8-10) but in the last 5 yrs, Dell got so damn cheap it didn't pay off.
I only went building my quad because I wanted to ensure drive speed, memory capacity,etc. and the Dell Quad was limited to 3.5GB ram on...
So there's supposed to be thermal paste AND the Artic Silver 5? Everything I've read said otherwise.
I may turn the fan speed back to auto, because the whir at 2400rpm is kinda loud whereas at 800 its was near silent.
When I had it on auto before OC it would spin up when doing prime. Now it's running about 2400rpm all the time, is that right?
I just checked, two cores low 40s, 2 cores, high 30s.. so the fan speed deff has something to do with it.
Ok.. I HATE the pushpins.. almost all of them were bent the wrong way and they were a mission to put in (had to use some needlenose pliars)
Anyways, temps are now in mid to high 40s when idle which is a lil better.
The thing that jumps out at me is the AC7 fan is only running at about...
Well when I took the motherboard out of the case, one of the clips for the heatsink did not engage, so I just pushed it in and remounted everything. Unfortunately, the temps are the same.
I'm going to take it apart again, but this time I will unmount the HSF and clean it then layer it with...
What should the temps be?
I'm debating taking apart the Solo to take the board out and re-do the heatsink, etc.
Should I cover the FP7 since I removed the compound from it originally?
So your saying that your supposed to cover the surface of the Artic Cooler 7 with AS5? I thought it was only supposed to be a line across the middle of the cpu?
