Model: E6600 Retail
Stepping and revision: L644G388
CPU frequency: 3806Mhz
Core voltage: 1.50v Actual
Load temperature: 65c
Cooling used: Zalman CNPS7700Cu 120mm Cooler
Motherboard: Asus p5n-e SLi
Memory: G.Skill PC2-6400 @ 1:1 4-4-3-5 (845MHz)
stable max so far, with only air cooling I don't wanna push it any harder. I think im going to look into a better aftermarket solution (if I can find one) I have had very good luck with my zalman - imo I think it does a good job of keeping things under control.
I don’t know if it would be worth it in the end, my CPU required 1.4v for stability @ 3.6GHz and 1.5 for 3.8GHz. the ram isn’t a problem – ive had these Gskills’ up to almost 1000MHz and they run error free – I think my e6600 is just topping out around 3.8GHz (which is by no means bad!) I wanted to try the 4Gig club – maybe the next chip. Who knows.

This is my post from the Max OC C2D Thread – I didn’t want to hijack that thread any further then I feel I already have with my opinion.
My 3.8GHz overclock is not where near where I want it for stability purposes. I had the vcore set at 1.5, then after playing with it a little more I ended up starting my orthos run @ 1.51250v vcore – it failed after about 8 mins. Core temp was reporting between 62 and 64*C. so before I went to bed I bumped it a little more 1.52150 set up orthos and went to bed. Well, long story short it failed 2 hours in. so today before work I set it up at 1.53xx vcore – I guess I can only wait to see if it’s failed when I get home.
I have a p5n-e – these are the settings I have set up.
Vcore v1.53xx
Memory v2.2xx
NB v1.7xx
The last option +100mv
How high tempture wise would it be ok to take my e6600. right now im sitting between 62 and 64*C load (orthos) via coretemp. My cnps7700cu has been doing a pretty good job handling the load – the max I think I could push myself would be 1.55v vcore. Would that be safe?
I want 3.8 – my rig FLYS when it’s clocked that high. I love it.
