e6600 Overclock
Last response: in Overclocking
Hi everyone,
I've had an e6600 for about a year and loved the CPU until recently when I got WAR. It's been a bit choppy in game and since I run with 3GB RAM and 9800GTX+ I couldn't help but think it was being bottlenecked by the CPU. Well, sure enough it was. I OCed it from 2.4Ghz to 3.0GHZ using the built in MIB(not sure if that's the acronym?) Gigabyte technology and doing a bit of research got a program called Prime95, ran it for a few minutes and wasn't showing temps above 55c with NVIDIA system monitor. When I run WAR the CPU temps stay between 44-46C and I was wondering if this was stable enough to run.
Sorry for bothering you with my newbie questions!
Thanks,
Jake

Use the latest RealTemp beta found on the last or second-last page of this thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17...
I'm not sure what sensor NVIDIA system monitor reads, but RealTemp reads the DTS for temps closer to the actual core temperatures.

It's with some 29.99 fan, not sure of the brand, had a computer store install it. I originally purchased a Tuniq Tower but for some reason they couldn't get it to work without it shorting? Needless to say, I'm a bit pissed that they just put this one in. Oh well. Still seems to be running fine so far, played WAR tonight and it runs flawlessly now. Idle I sit at 41 with this program you recommended. I'll be sure to run Prime more tomorrow when I'm done with class for further analyzing.
Thanks for your guys help!
