E6600 @ 3.4Ghz w/ 1:1 Divider.. Woot!

OK. So I've been getting back into hardware and OCN..

Figured I would give my E6600 (Sig Rig) some tries after flashing my boards BIOS up to 1301.

Got this on the first try :

3.6Ghz @ 1.4v +100mv (Pics show old CPU-Z VID @ 1.35 which is wrong it's 1.568v)
4-4-4-12-2T @ 2.013v GSkill HZ Micron's
1:1 Divider
Running idle around 31c and load around 43c

The ~only~ problem I have is running this now at 1.5v with the +100mv addition. NB is doing well @ 1.39v and it seems stable so I'll do some Orthos Dual on her but is 1.5v at these temps, on air, fine?

Screenies..

Nice. Why not try 385 / 390 FSB ? I have a E6600 , currently running 3600.3MHz ( sig rig ).

Yea but at this point running the stock Intel HSF (yes, didn't need an aftermarket at the time) I think I would be pushin the temps.. If this holds as-is then I think I might have to check into some aftermarket cooling and try higher


I checked Intel and they rate these up to 1.5v so maybe I'm not pushing too much on the VCore as I thought..

Anyone have opinions on the VCore with this stock Intel HSF? Temps under load in Orthos Dual are only reaching maybe 45c max.. Looks good, feels good, doesn't get too warm.. Just checkin the majority of opionions

Try and keep VCore under 1.55xxV. And the temp are safe up to about 65*C. Maybe 70*C up to 80*C. Best to stay under 60*C though.

sad,i had a e6600 i had it a 3.950 with 1.5vcore
asus max extreme
Ah that explains. A wee-bit better than my oldskool P5B.

Consider yourselves lucky, my chip will only do 3.33ghz @ 1.46v.

Hmm that's weird. Do a higher voltage. The E66 series can handle up to approximatley 1.55V. Just try. Might get lucky.

My motherboard has a FSB hole right after 3.33ghz, so thats a no go on getting anything higher

Well box rebooted under Orthos load so it's not stable.. Have to check into some things..

Correct me if wrong but a 1:1 divider is stlil preferred even on C2D right or should I allow the RAM to loosen? I specify each setting on my timings, just not the standard settings but all of them so I'm forcing the RAM to run at the specified settings from a GSkill rep on their forums.
Did you flash the BIOS up from 0608 to 1301?

Thought I'd clear up some questions with my E6600 and P5N-E SLI:

benchmark both and see, usually they are about the same. For instance my G.SKill HZ kit gets about the same bandwidth running at 740mhz 4-3-3-9-1t as it does at 1066mhz 5-5-5-15-2t

I thought above the 3000MHz 1:1 was good.
