E6600 G Batch (or rev G whatever)

[dayg]

G batch here. Just got my CPU a week ago from newegg. Been testing it past few days. I have similar results with GRAMBOH. At the moment, my system is rock solid at 3.16Ghz (395 X 8 with Vcore 1.425). Prime95 ran over 12 hours with temp at 65C using stock HSF.

Anyone out there getting these temp on E6600? I need some input. Is this temp ok in the long run? Thanks.

was it blend Prime 95? 65C load seems fine esp. on staock HSF @1.425v

Hmm if you think 65C is bad.. before i fixed my heatsink yesterday (thanks guys!) my processor was running at 91C load! idle it was 65C. It's a really good processor though because Im able to overclock it to 3400mhz at 1.4v (and it survived those really high temps)

Nealh,

what do you mean blend Prime95? I had divx converting a big movie and running Prime95 at the same time. both CPU cores are at 100% and temp reached 65C.

The other question I had, from looking at CPU-Z, i noticed my CPU multiplier changes from 8 down to 6 when PC is idle. It basically down clocks the system when its idel. Is this normal and do most of you leave it the way it is? Or is there a way from BIOS or somewhere I can disable this?

Thanks.

Its called EIST (enhanced intel speedstep technology??). You can disable it in BIOS (or Windows I believe). Personally, I leave it. Anytime you actually need processing power, it automatically bumps up the multiplier, but otherwise, when you are away, it consumes less power/less heat/etc.

To the great "G" batch debate. I had one that could only max out at 333 x 9x (3.0ghz) at any voltage. I messed around with FSB/multipliers/voltage, but nothing really seemed to help. So, I decided to get an "A" batch (L640Axxx), and it doesn't do much better, got it to 3.2ghz @ 1.4v (400 x 8x). But anything after that was just diminishing returns (required much more voltage to get just a small boost in performance).

Those temps are awesome for a stock cooler. I get up to 65C (reported by Asusprobe/Speedfan for CPU) when I run Orthos blend or Orthos small FFT for 12+ hours and I am at 1.37V actual (1.4 BIOS) 400x8=3.2GHz and I'm using a Thermalright Ultra 120 w/ Scythe SFlex 1200rpm.

The way I look at it, if you get to 65C on Orthos load for 12+ hours, you are probably never going much over 50C from 'normal' desktop use/gaming unless you do movie encoding for extended periods of time.

Thanks.

Prime 95 has the ability to run blend
large and small fft over time with heavy ram use and for many is the best overall method of system stability

I have encoded with 100% cpu usage but that does not stress a system like Prime95 Blend at high priority or do nothing but Prime95

My E6600 - L645G333

Stats - o/c 383 x 9 - 3447mhz.
Vcore - 1.58v bios / 1.53v speedfan (don't know which to trust so I'm going with the higher until I can beg a decent digital meter to check it with. It also says the 12v is only pushing 11.14v.)
Right now I'm 3 & 1/2 hrs into Orthos and the 24k FFT is runninng my cpu p to 53c on both cores and the 't-junction' is 63c. The rig idles at around 30c. I've got central heat & air so that doesn't change much. 23c-25c normally.

If I try to push this chip above 3.5g I get the BSOD and am not willing to push the Vcc much past 1.6v.

I'm water cooling with one of Petra's kits. Has a Swiftech Apogee GTX and Swiftech's dual rad with a Laing DDC-2 & a DDCT-01 top.

Now I have to see how far the Ocz 1066 will go.

What does the T-junction measure? When I was able to over clock my E6600 I ran Orthos
stable for 8 hrs with a 9X 340 with load temps of 52, 53 but my T-junction was 85.

I believe it measures somewhere inbetween? the two cores. Plus I've heard it's supposed to be 15c lower than the two core temps but that isn't the case for me.

Edit: I got it all wrong. The T-junction is the two core temps and the T-case is the diode inbetween the cores. Here's a chart from TH.



"The temp scale shown below illustrates the normal ~ 25c Delta between Idle and TAT @ 100% Load, and the typical ~ 15c Delta between Tcase and Tjunction on an example system overclocked with 1.4 Vcore. 50c Tcase and 65c Tjunction are safe and sustainable temperatures.

Tcase/Tjunction

--60--/--75--75-- Hot
--55--/--70--70-- Warm
--50--/--65--65-- N
--45--/--60--60-- O
--40--/--55--55-- R
--35--/--50--50-- M
--30--/--45--45-- A
--25--/--40--40-- L
--20--/--35--35-- Cool


Results

Tcase (Motherboard Utilities) = 30c Idle, 50c Load (SpeedFan: CPU or Temp X)"



My T-case is hotter than the two cores by 10c most of the time. I don't understand.
