Hi all,
Having a bit of problems with adjusting my motherboard to aid my cooling on my system. Currently using core temp and my e6600 is running at 2.8ghz at about 58/57 degrees c on idle and ~64 when running 3d mark 06.
Bios cpu fan speed is approx 2170, i`m running this in Qfan mode
opt 3 fan speed (think this is the case fan) is running at 2100
cpu 50 deg and motherboard 40deg (also from bios).
Vcore is 1.37v (in bios)
This is with the side of my case off (on my brand new build!!).
Computer has been running for 15 mins from cold (running in bios)
Specs are as follows:
E6600
ASUS8800GTX
ASUS P5N32-E SLI (680i)
DDR2 2GB (667)
Akasa AK-961
ez-cool 650w psu
now i`ve been recommended to try reducing the volts down to 1.29 v but when i do this in the bios is still remains at the 1.37 in the hardware monitor.
Do you know what other things i have to do to make this setting take affect?
Also, i want to try running it at x8 multiplier as opposed to x9. Worked out the necessary fsb to get it to ruu stock (initially) and it was at 2.7ghz as opposed to the 2.4 i wanted (it was still using x9).
Any ideas?
help greatly appreciated
