just oc q6700

I didn't change any settings except for going from 10x to 13x clock speed. If Intel desktop control center changed settings so be it. Let's see what happens. I'm on test 20. Temp is 68C.

I hope this helps. Memory voltage at 1.84, Mch/Ich voltage override at 1.525. Front side bus override at 1.250. FSB@266.

I don't see your cpu voltage

@ ibleet, I just presumed he forgot the X since the chip can overclock via the multi

[vbironchef]

Where do I find that?

[kenc51]

Where do I find that?

BIOS
Performance => Processor Overrides => CPU Voltage Override

[vbironchef]

According to Intel desktop control center cpu voltage is set at defalt.

[vbironchef]

As soon as prime 95 is done I will go into the bios.

[vbironchef]

Ok, prime test took to long. I went into the bio and did what Ken said. Current processor voltage is 1.35V. Started folding @ home. Go team!

[ibleet]

My bad, I misread your cpu voltage was 1.8 when it was ram voltage...1.35v is excellent. Your temps are still high.

Stock cooler? Heatsink on correctly?

Ken: You're right! I see what you mean now.../bonk

[vbironchef]

Ok, back to my question, How does my O.C. look to everyone? And how do I fix my dvd player?

[vbironchef]

running folding@home SMP client, core temp says 71C.

[kenc51]

running folding@home SMP client, core temp says 71C.

70C is the MAX I'd want my chip, and that's only for some extreme benching.

You should try keep below 60C
It might be stable now, but you're asking for trouble later on. IF the CPU was stock, it might be ok, but you're already stressing it my overclocking.
If it was me, I'd remount the cooler and use some good TIM (Arctic Silver or Ceramique)
If the temps stay high, I''d lower the OC and get a new cooler.

You have a very nice chip and I'd hate to see you loose it

[martini161]

yeah you might want to look at a thermal right ultra extreme, or a zalaman cnp 9700

[vbironchef]

Thank you for all your help. I went back to stock speed 2.67. It was fun getting a 30% overclock. My temps with smp client running are 77C. Still high, so I guess its time a upgrade my cooler. Your choices are what I was thinking. Fold on

[ibleet]

If you don't plan on pushing that chip real hard, an Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro would do the trick nicely and cheaply.

I put one on a Q6600 with a 3.2 OC at it runs in the mid 50's even with Prime 95 running on all 4 cores.

Then again, I would make sure that your stock HS is installed correctly. Make sure all 4 pins are pushed down and locked into the board.

[vbironchef]

Just ordered from newegg zalman 9700.

[DMB2000uk]

In the mean time, reattach your heatsink. It can't be on properly with that high temperatures
Dan

[vbironchef]

I reatached heatsink, temps with smp folding are 69.C Fan is on high. Used artic silver compound. Better, but not great. Should I go for o.c.

[ibleet]

Why rush? I would wait for the Zalman to arrive and do it right. Your temps still sound high though, even for stock cooling.

[stopthekilling77]

i agree, just wait out the few days it takes for the zalman to get there, you'll be in a better position to OC effectively

[vbironchef]

I o.c. to 3.47. Temps at 70C. Will change cooler as soon as I get it. I hope it helps. Did I buy the right one? Going from 9500 to 9700 is there going to be a big difference? I hope so. Still folding smp client all cores running 100%.
