Hi everyone, i've been out of the overclocking scene since my watercooled dual 2.4 xeon days. I decided to give it a shot again last night with my q6600. The problem now seems to be it is running much warmer than it should be? At 3.4ghz, 69-70c on core 2, while the other cores hover around 63-67c while running OCCT. The ambient room temp is 73, with the vcore reporting 1.31-1.32v under full load. I applied as5 several days ago following the instructions on the arctic silver website for quad cores precisely. The HSF is tightened down on all four corners until the springs bottomed out.
Any insight would be fantastic.
Bios Settings:
Vcore = 1.385
VTT = 1.23
MCH = 1.29
ICH = 1.05
ICHIO = 1.5
DRAM = 2.2v @ 1:1
fsb = 378
System specs:
Q6660 G0, vid: 1.25v
Abit ip35 pro
8800gtx + HR-03+ @ 650/1000
4gb Crucial Ballistix BL2KIT12864AA804
(2x) 120mm intake fans, (2x) 120mm exhaust
120mm fans on cpu and gpu HSF
