I7 2600k max temp and voltages

[midget666]

what is the 2600k max safe temps and max safe voltages if im overclocking? intel and other forums have been kinda all around saying anywhere from 72 to 80C and idk what max safe voltages are

60C eh? ... I always seem to have heat issues, must be my case or something.

I have a 2600k and I run Prime 95 for an hour and my CPU gets up to like 55C at 4.0 ghz ...

I guess could by my heatsink too, I'm using a Corsair H70

What kind of OC do you think i could reach with the cooler master 212 with dual fan and the antec 1200 V3 case. I know its the very case you run as well and with the extra two fans installed ill have 3 fans cooling my CPU

 

[midget666]

also you said in the other forum you commented on that you used to have a GTX 580 that overclocked like a beast. what settings did you have?

 

[whitey_rolls]

What case do you have? Running two fans on the H70?

I'm running both the fans. I'm running them exhaust though, which was told is the second best option, I just couldn't get my head around dumping the heat back into the case.

Other than that I'm running 5 other case fans.

what is the advantage of changing the FSB when you OC the 2600k. i heard you only change the multiplier. and what memory control does the 2600k support i heard its only 1066 and 1333

 

[midget666]

well what memory control does the 2600k provide. On intel site its only 1066 and 1333

 

[midget666]

MSI afterburner supports all overclocking right? CPU, GFX, etc...

Thats the ram.

 

[whitey_rolls]

What case tho? :lol:

I have a coolermaster CM 690 Case.

Nvm, I just overclocked my processor to 4.3 ghz and the temps stayed the same ...

The heatsink just seems to not work very well at idle, but 4.3 ghz running for one hour with a max temp of 55C I can live with.

 

[midget666]

ok how do i find out its rated speed and timings. its DDR3 1600 and the timing are 8-8-8-24. are you talking about relaxing timings and what its rated to?

 

[midget666]

whitey if you wanna fork out 20 more bucks than what yours cost this is a much much better case

its only 79.99 after rebate actually so its the same price on newegg

I'm good for now, thanks though Midget.

This case was actually purchased over three years ago and while it's not that great it's ok.

Next purchase will be a full sized case though, I'm too impatient to continually work in small spaces.

 

[midget666]

get the antec 1200 V3 if you get a full case. IMO its one of more beastly cases in the full tower line. insane cooling and airflow

If your motherboard and memory are good enough, the CPU supports memory ratios up to DDR3-2133 in 266MHz intervals. Some boards have a DDR3-2400 option, but I've never seen a CPU's memory controller actually function at that ratio.

If the H70 is anything like the H50 and the pump plugs into the CPU fan controller on your MB you need to set it to 100% in bios, the pump is not desgined to run at anything less, that could be your temp issues right there.
