first impressions, this thing is fast, second impression, this thing is HOT. Off course it's oc'd to 3.0Ghz on air, but still, it's HOT. Current 100% load temps are mid to high 60's with my Zalman 9700. I may try re-adjusting the hsf to see if I can get temps down to the low-mid 60's. Ideally these things need water cooling, but I'm just to freaking lazy these days to even mess with it, so I guess I'll just run it hot. If it fry's it fry's. Still got the e6400 in the closet just in case.
Should take about a day and a half for production to pick up. Assuming I don't hose the OS trying to find the max OC/FSB before then.
**Update**
Just reseated the heatsink and used more Zalman thermal grease (noticed there wasn't nearly enough the first time) and now my %100 loaded temps are in the low 50's 
also of note, this cpu has massive amounts of voltage droop. I have 1.35v set in the bios, but the chip is only showing 1.296v. Still running smooth at 3.0Ghz though. |
What motherboar is that on? - and FYI my Q6600ES has whacked temp reporting (as per coretemp) it was telling me i was loading at 80-90*C which acording to me being able to touch the heatsink near the base i figure it was in the 50's as i could still touch the heatsink, and if it was near 80 i would be burned instantly.
Also the Q6600's are rated for 110*C (or something really close) i know its a little over 100*C. I had mine up to 3.06Ghz for a couple days there dident really play with it that much as it was just for some benchmarks, i am still curiouse to see what they will do when i put some time into it. |
