Here are my system specs:
Intel Core2 Quad Q6700
EVGA nForce 680i Mobo 122-CK-NF68
4 GB Ram Mushkin HP2-6400
Scythe Ninja Plus Heatsink and Fan
Gigabyte 3DAurora Case - Has 2 Fans on back, 1 on front
EVGA GTX 570 SC
I've read on forums of Q6700 going up to 3.4 Ghz no problem. But I'm having problems getting anywhere near that. This is my first overclock, can someone give me some help?
The highest SOMEWHAT stable build I was able to get is:
9 X 333.5 Mhz = 3001 Mhz @ 1.265 Core Voltage. (Using a 10X multiplier to get up to that core speed was unstable)
Idle temps: 41 - 48 Degrees
Load temps: 67 - 76 Degrees (!!!!) w/ TjMax set @ 90 Degrees
Why are my load temps so high, even though my Core Voltage is no where near the max (1.5V)? I've tried going higher FSB but it requires even more voltage and I'm already high in temps.
