hello everyone

I have a e6600 at 3.6 on air with the zolman heat sink
and a case with a fan in the top. I think that helps.

CPU frequency is 400 with ddr 800

I have
P5b deluxe
miskin xp2-6400 2 gig
700 watt ocz gamer power supply

It has run for 2 days with dual prime 95
With all the voltages at default

But the asus probe program has my CPU at 140 degrees some times
How hot is to hot for the CPU?

Asus the program also says my core voltage is 1.55v but cpuz says it 1.213v

If I left the voltage at auto in the bios it should be the 1.213v or default right?

What else can I try to push it harder? Or dare I ?

Thanks for the help

What MB are you using? I am running a P5W DH but i cant seem to get it over 3.2 without messing up.

if you read his post, he simply stated he was using a P5B Deluxe

Also, google Core Temp and use that to measure your core temp as ASUS Probe is somewhat inaccurate do to the sensor it uses. Um... other question... are you really noticing that much of an increase in performance? Why aren't you happy with that? it's a brand new chip. go easy on it. think of it as a new car. they say not to race the engine for the first 3000 miles. just break the CPU in, and then push further. Other than that, check out Wusy's overclock guide

snap, sorry.

Do not set the voltage to auto; I suggest you leaving it at stock and if problems persist, increase the voltage ever so slightly.

if i make any adjustment to the vcore in the bios it wont boot

i have 1.2 to 1.55 if i set it to anything but auto it wont post..

but i think 140 to 147 is to hot. it shuts off at like 148.

i have tinkered with the ram volts a little too.

from 1.9 to 2.3 if i use anything but auto there it wont post..

i am just doing this for the fun and education. when i start using this

ill set it at like 3.0 ghz

try flashing the BIOS to the latest one. See if that helps. Also, someone in another thread stated that sometimes, you need not to raise the voltage, but to lower it.

Good luck

Are you OCing your cpu? I have pretty much the same setup but whenever i set the cpu to anythign over 3.2 it will not boot (when it resets after hitting save, the screen stays blank).

I am trying to run the FSB at 400Mhz (or even 377 for 3.4)
I set the voltages as told in Wusy's guide: MCH: 1.55
VFSB 1.4 (called termination voltage in the bios?)
vICH 1.20 (only allows for auto, 1.05 or 1.2)
vCore 1.400

*Note* question to Euras...

yes i have the asus p5b deluxe.

and that big zoleman heat sink. i dont have the number for it anymore

i got this mb because the muskin memory told me too.

I have the latest bios.. I going to take a stab here with out looking

0614

I have followed wuzzys guide and it works fine until I change anything with voltage.

I have to leave everything at auto

If you’re having trouble posting set all the voltages to auto see if that works.

I don’t know maybe the new bios has flaws.

I run stable at 3.6… the temps get up to 140 to 147 with asus probe

Actually, if I remembered correctly, I but the SPD to Auto rather than trying to set the values and I thinked that work. Can't quite remember. Is your overclock Prime95 stable? At 3.2, Prime95 fails to start correctly and gives me an error saying it doesn't detect the L2 or something. This was a while back. Btw, if you flash your BIOS to 1402, it unlocks the multiplier, down only, if that helps.

I am stable at 3.42.

I can run dual prime95 and do a 32 Meg calculation with super pi at the same time.

It would never do that at 3.6

My temp is running at 113 degrees.. With asus probe2

And 53c with core temp.

To convert Celsius to degrees.. Isn’t it.. C *1.8+32?

Ill try the other bios

quick question, how come the cpu gets so hot when you havent overvolted it? I know the faster clock speed will raise the temp some, but I thought the over volt was what jumped up the heat the most.

good question.. i dont know.. cpuz says my core is 1.213v

asus says at 3.6 1.5v

but as a cpu ossalates it creats friction with causes heat as i understand it.

the faster it shakes the more heat it makes

so the in crease of volts gets you at the higher hrz.

then it has to handle it

i cant see the bios 1402 here ?

heh, that's because I pulled it off another site. It's an "unofficial" BIOS update, but it works just fine and flawlessly!

if you PM me your e-mail address, I'll send you the file

other than that, it's somewhat confusing going from F to C

also go to google and type this:

115 degrees fahrenheit (sp) in celsius and hit <Enter> and you should get a result Comes very handy when working with math units and don't like looking for formulas or using MS Calculater

http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/sh [...] p?t=256507

scroll down and you should be able to make out where it lists the BIOS versions. apparently, BIOS 1403 is out as well.

right now, I'm using BIOS 1402.

Note: When flashing to BIOS 1402 from 1301, ASUS Update (Asus's Windows Flash BIOS Utility), it took about a minute for it to complete. At first, it'll seem like it froze, but it's flashing the BIOS. Worked for me.

Good luck =/
