Q6600 - DFI P35 DK T2RS Swap

[Grimmy]

Whelp, my old MSI P6N NV 650i MB bit the dust awhile back, cracked NB chip from replacing the NB cooler that was apparently too heavy.

So I ended up going with a P35 MB by DFI, and wanted to get basically the same OC of 3.2ghz. Been few days in testing, but I believe I finally got my voltages tuned in:

Did 8 hour FPU test which did produce most heat (ambient temp approx 83-85F):

I noticed from the DFI app, my NB voltage was in the red, so I tuned it down to the above config, and ran 8 hour blend test (ambient temp approx 80F):

From the above tests, I did what I normally do on the PC without any problems. I even watch about 2 movies while prime was running with no errors. However, Windows Explorer did crash when I was trying to open a zip file in the final 10 min stretch, but Prime kept running.

I guess my next set of tests is to use the power options to use x6 multiplier for its actual default speed of 2.4ghz.

Very Nice

Thanks.

Hmm.. wonder if its worth the time to test the forced multiplier of x6, in power options.

I know the temps will be lower. So far the max Tcase temp is 47C. Just wonder if Vista is going to blow up from me forcing it to run slower. :lol:
