By the wacky vcore on cpu_Z means it is actually 1.45v or greater like you said....

2min of orthos cant be the highest...I would expect that has to go up at least another 3-4c...I dont see max loads in orthos for hours...

In a P180B, but the side panel is still off. I'm not done tinkering yet. The room temp is 64F.

That is a cold room temp. Mine are in the normal "comfort zone" range of 72f. Also next to 2 other C2D systems expelling heat so temp in that corner of the room may be more 75-76f
 

The OP still has screwed this entire thread up, with his vague post.

Now hold up one moment. I have screwed nothing up, I gave the specifics that I have. I dont have the 6600 in my posession, so I cant give the specs. I am kinda shocked at the direction this thread has turned, I am not "LAME" . I gave the info that I had. My post was done in haste, I will admit. But I dont think its fair to lash at me for asking a simple question. Guess I will just start lurking again that way I dont have to be subjected to such criticism.

It was worded so poorly no one was even sure for half of the thread what you were talking about.

You left out all sort of vital info, and if it was not for jumpen coming in and filling in the blanks we would still be lost.

Not meant to be harsh just give us more info next time.....

I can understand the haste sometimes when we are in a hurry to get some info.

What did you set in the bios? did you set 1.4v? If so I would agree 1.35v is likely pretty accurate. I have seen most of my boards undervolt .01-.02v at idle entry into windows and then drop .02-.03v under load with dual cores C2D's and like .06v with a quad core...
 
EXEEMLITE, don't start lurking again only 😛

Duvie tends to say what he thinks, as do i generally.

Sometimes that results in overly harsh statements.
As we've been posting here for far too long, patience for posts w/o needed info tend to be annoying 😉

I wouldn't worry to much about what ppl like on teh intarweb think of you though 😛

Just make sure you make a thread about your E6600 with updates when you get it, & all will be well 😀
 
Yeah I guess I had my feeling hurt 😉
I just want to run with the big dogs, but I am still a little pup. I actually know that my info was limited so I was asking for a broad opinion, I guess more in theory.

Lets say Duvies 3.5 e6600 is dropped into my system, which has already proven that it is capable of doing 400 fsb with my 6400. Would it not be true that I should be able to hit the same 3.5 with my set up.
I see that we dont like to play with theory much here so I will give you the results when I get my e6600 in. Thanks again, I will try to be more specific in my descriptions next time.😉

My E6600 cannot hit 3.5ghz! :frown:

Depending on the board but in most instances you should get close to similar, but that is whay the comment YMMV (Your Mileage May vary) came to light...

To many other dependent variables can have effect.

1) Mobo vdroop (makes a difference in how much vcore is needed and associated heat)
2) PSU
3) ram and timings
4) cooling
5) northbridge heat

that is just a few but it is sooo wide open....


I would always say it is envouraging when others have hit those speeds and in most instances with tweaking and trial and error you may likely achieve that.

the only real way to get 100% what they got is buy their entire system...
 
I haven't seen a week 27 or newer 6600 that won't do 3.6 with the right cooling for the bimb in vcore necessary.

The worst I've seen was a 6600 that only did 3.6 if it was at 1.5vcore in BIOS. Other systems I've built or seen were running 1.4-1.475.

Temps don't play a vital role. People are too careful IMO because in reality Orthos and TAT will put out more heat than any program you run that is of any real use (games, video editing etc). So, what you see while running Orthos is not what it will run all the time.
 
NO kidding when you are only giving it 1.35v at idle...under load that most likley droops to 1.3v.....

Nice chip...

That is pretty nice for a B2 stepping....

I have an asus mobo coming to play with....I may try my E6600 on it before I try it with the QX6700
 
Sorry if this is a bit off topic. Early next year I am intending on building a C2D system and I am still on the fence as to go with a E6400 or E6600. I only want to push to 400MHz FSB. How likely is it that I will make that on an recent week E6600? And how much more likely is it going to be considering my ambient temps are probably going to be in the region of 0-10 C for the better part of 6 months in a year? I have done a lot of research and I am yet to find anyone who has run their comp in the sort of temps that I am going to be in and so was wondering how big a difference it would make.
 
I have money enough to get a heater if I wanted one. It is just paying for power bills, you know it is either the heater or the comp. And well the comp can work as a heater sort of so I am going for it. Anyway I personally don't care about the cold I was just wondering with those temps how far I could push a C2D?
 
Really, the C2D doesn't put out that much heat. This may sound silly, but I had 2 pentium D's last winter, OC'ed to 3.5. Unless it got under 32c during the day, my furnace never came on. Not I have replaced those with C2D's, and I have to leave the windows open unless it gets down below 0. There is a noticeable difference in heat output.

Well you see I don't have a furnace or in fact any centralised heating of any sort. But I am from New Zealand and we get made tough here😉 I am not bothered by the cold so I really don't care if my comp puts heat out and warms the room or not. That is what putting more clothes on is for. But I was interested in how far you could push a C2D under potentially sub-zero ambient temps.
 
Well, I can say that you should get good OC's on air, thats for sure ! But you will need a big heatsink to transfer the heat. Ninja sythe or big typhoon or maybe sythe infinity.
 
I was going to go with the infinity. Case wise though I am a bit unsure what will give me the best air flow. I have been looking at the gigabyte aurora 3d and mounting a fan on the side and attach a pipe from outside to draw in really cold air.

If you don't need a huge midtower case, the Antec Super LanBoy is great case. It has dual 120mm fans, and coupled with the 120mm exhaust in my PS, I get excellent airflow.
