C2D Overclocking All-In-1 Thread

Yeah... get a C2D processor and start overclocking. Any insights to share with this noob here?

E6600? LICH!

P5B-E plus? Wrong mobo combination...

I have a tough time overclocking E6600 on P5B-E Plus. Highest I could do was 350MHz FSB. Cooling is a mojor issue for C2D.

Let's try if I could get more than that.

But with cheap RAMs though.

Edit: But with those cheap RAMs, I don't think I can go far. even a 2.80Ghz, I would be damn happy adi.

Now, have to kautim the audio driver problem 1st.

The last I checked, the CPU is hovering at 45-ish idle. Damn...

You shuold care about the load temp.

I meant idle also quite high already, load maybe much higher. My AMD64 is only around 40-ish...

Hard to say. The C2d I overclocked reached 80+C regularly. Hehe. I don't have a better cooler.

You can't really compare C2D with single core A64. C2D is so much hotter

I personally don't care much about the load temperature unless it's unstable

the thing Im more worried is the VRM temp.

I got myself a C2Q6700 (ES) @ a dirt cheap price.
when I oc, it's not the CPU temp that worries me, but the VRM's. these things get so hot, they burn your finger. imagine if you run it 24/7 for a year

4-phase can hardly make it for long term overclocking. so far, DQ6 seems to have the best VRM design. 6-phase, each with a 2 high 2 low mosfet with 2 inductors design. XBX2 is great as well with a 5-phase 2high2low Mosfet. but XBX2 is so expensive, close to a K

settled for P5B deluxe. 333x10=3.3GHz. Still extremely hot!

Those who watercool might take these VRMs, NB/SB for granted. They can get pretty hot, especially the P965 chipsets.

Which DQ6? 965 or 680?
