    E6600 overclock

    Alright, glad that you decided to o/c your e6600. Now i have the e6600 matched with the P5K vanilla, so i'm not sure if the bios is exactly the same as yours. From what I know, by adjusting your fsb, you can choose from an option of what memory frequency you want to run it at. There should...

    Just got CPU & hsf, quick question about installation

    the freezer 7 comes with a whole layer of. . .mx-1 paste on it, it's not a single line of it so just make sure you've got the chip clean before putting it on, and you're good =)

    Considering a CPU upgrade

    Reading this just makes me wanna upgrade my own rig =P If you're gonna be playing those higher end games, you might wanna consider upgrading the video card though, to a 4850 or 4870, it'll really give you the extra fps if you're gonna be doing high-res gaming too

    e6600 overclock

    i've hit 3.0ghz with stock vcore (maybe also a notch down), but i'm sticking with 2.8Ghz right now, because i can run it at 1.275V with temps at mid 20s on idle. havent really tried anything higher than 3.0, but i might try to see what vcore i need to be stable at 3.2 or 3.4

    Average tempatures for E6600?

    i'm assuming you didnt put much of an effort in bringing down the temps for me, @ 2.8ghz, 1.225vcore, with freezer 7, i hit 25/28 idle, 39/41 load

    What's the highest number you can put in the Windows calculator

    Right around 42000 is when I see the window flicker.

    P35, 965 or 975 board?

    279 for a Q6600 is pretty much the price you'll see on most sites now. I'll have to agree with everyone else when I say Q6600 + P5K = win =)

    is my E6600 idling at a good temperature?

    seems a tad high if you ask me i've got an e6600 @ 3.0Ghz, 1.35V I have it idle at around 25 & 28 for both cores, and they top of at about 46-47C under load I've got a Freezer 7 Pro installed, and i've got C1E and Speedstep enabled

    Freezer 7 Pro + Artic Silver Core2Duo E6300 - What should temps be?

    47 idle still seems too high i got the AC Freezer 7 and i idled at around 24-25 at 3.0Ghz (E6600). I agree with LoKe; try re-applying the thermal paste, or bring it back down to stock speeds and see what your temps are.

    Upgrade for playing Crysis

    I personally have an x1950pro .. and i'd be glad to even hit 15fps on med settings lol. . . but that was with stock 2.4ghz e6600 and stock gpu settings right now i've cranked it up to 3.0ghz with 621/736 on my x1950. . but i've yet to test out the crysis demo with these settings if you...

    Check my O/C Please (E6600)

    i'm sorta annoyed at my e6600. Takes me 1.3625 to keep it stable at 3.0Ghz. this is with my newly installed freezer 7 pro too. funny thing is. . . i can vaguely remember myself hitting 3.0Ghz using stock cooler with 1.35 but my temps were a lot higher.

    What kind of fps are you getting with your video card in Crysis when you set all settings on very high in DX10?

    lol. i believe i hit 10-15 frames on high with the DX9 modifications. This was when i ran my e6600 at stock with my x1950pro now that i got my freezer 7 pro, if i bring my e6600 to 3.0 and o/c my video card. . .i might hit a constant 15 lol

    q6600 and speedstep etc..

    Try enabling your C1E option if you have one.

    Q6600 Question. Is This Normal?

    agreed. Also, if turning SpeedStep doesnt work, then you might want to disable C1E C1E is similar to SpeedStep, but it reduces the voltage as opposed to the Multiplier

    My Overclock Safe? E6600 @ 2.7 gHZ

    At 2.7 ghz, you could probably manual set the vcore in your bios to lower the temps. i got the e6600 stable @ 1.2750 V with 28 / 46 temps

    ddr2 or ddr3 on new mb

    stick with the p5k-deluxe, but not the ddr3 version. mainly because. . . ddr3 is too expensive still, it wont provide much improvement in terms of performance, and it's still pretty new.

    quad 2.4 G0 keeps fluctuating in core speed

    you gotta turn off C1E and SpeedStep from your BIOS. They're power-saving features from Intel that bring down your voltage and multiplier when your cpu is idle.

    What Now?

    i wouldnt say it's a bad time to get a new comp right now. What's new recently are: - the new 1333 fbs cpus - some cpus have the G0 stepping - price drop couple weeks ago

    Choosing a CPU

    e6600 is one of the better 1066's out there. unless you were planning to spend some more money on the q6600 1066.

    Newbie with E6600 needing help on first steps!

    If you just wanna do some small overlcocking, then leave everything in the BIOS on manual except for the CPU Frequency Just change the fsb from 266 to whatever you want. I'm only saying this because I did that already myself lol. I went in slow increments of 11-12 increases in my fsb at a...

    Which processor... e6750/e6850/q6600?

    i agree, the G0 stepping cuts down on power usage, runs faster than the other two, and it's like ~$250 after the 22nd

    I was thinking of getting Intel E6600 Dual Core 2.4GHZ

    Agreed. Wait a week or two for the intel price drops, and you can probably get an E6750 (2.66 Ghz) or a Q6600 (2.66 Quad) for about the price of an E6600 Price drop in July 22

    Overclocking vs heat

    If heat is your major issue, then go with the e6600. You'll be overclocking a bit and you wont get much heat (It's also what I'm using too, currently overclocked at 2.6ghz. ~31 c idle and ~51 full load) They'll both generate about the same amount of heat at stock anyways. As for price...

    CPU-Z reports the proc is not running at the right speed

    EIST brings your multiplier down from 9 to 6 when your cpu usage is minimal, but it'll automatically pop back up to 9 when you're under full load C1E is similar, but it brings down the voltages rather than multiplier If you have EIST off but C1E on, there may still be some moments where...

    Overclocking for a New user to Overclocking?

    wait until july 22nd, then depending on your demands, get the e6750 (1333 FSB) or q6600 (if you feel like having 4 cores and a really hot cpu =P)

    AMD or Intel?

    I currently use an e6600, but I find there isn't a large difference in performance or price between amd or intel.

    e6600 non OC temps

    I have about 30-32 idle; 46-48 under load. These temps I've checked with CoreTemp This was under stock settings for everything, hope it'll give you a good temp comparison

    Arctic Cooling Freezer 7; where is a review and comparison?

    The freezer pro 7 is suppose to be a pretty good heat sink, from what I've read online. It's mid-high in terms of cooling abilities, and relatively cheap when compared to other heat sinks that offer similar cooling. It's something I've been looking into as well. Unless you're looking for...

    HOWTO: Overclock C2Q (Quads) and C2D (Duals) - A Guide v1.7

    Excellent thread, but just one thing I wanted to make sure: As long as you don't make any drastic changes to your FSB, you can probably bring your CPU speed up without actually increasing the vcore. E.g. I have an e6600 @2.4ghz (stock). I've read that the e6600 can go to ~3.0Ghz with...
