I was wondering what improvements could be made to these settings at the current OC ?

The Idle temps for the CPU are 47, 44, 42 and 45.

Best regards,

What are you load temps?

They are more important then idle.

Also do u need to use 1.5vcore? Have u tried lower?

Hi Fatguy1992,

The load temps were around 70 when stressed out to 100%.

I've tried the Vcore at 1 or two notches lower but then it would'nt run as stable.

Re: Q6600 @ 3.6G + GA-EP45T-EXTREME + Patriot Viper 1333MHz

Well 70C is pretty hot. What cooling are you using? Also what is your room temp?

Also its a shame u can't lower the Vcore any lower :(

Re: Q6600 @ 3.6G + GA-EP45T-EXTREME + Patriot Viper 1333MHz

Hi Fatguy1992,

The systems temporarily air cooled but that will change after the 17th of this month when my water cooling kit arrives.

I was hoping with a few more tweaks that I could also drop the Vcore a bit.

I dont know whether the settings I listed in the post are fully optimised.

I was hoping that Lsdmeasap or anybody else may have some sugestions.

Regards,

Re: Q6600 @ 3.6G + GA-EP45T-EXTREME + Patriot Viper 1333MHz

You could try adjusting Clock Skews, Clock Drive and CPU/MCH References.

Re: Q6600 @ 3.6G + GA-EP45T-EXTREME + Patriot Viper 1333MHz

Yes I could have a bit more of a play with them.

Are you sugesting that If I reduce them a little that I may not need to have The Vcore as high?

Re: Q6600 @ 3.6G + GA-EP45T-EXTREME + Patriot Viper 1333MHz

I wasn't meaning for you to decrease or increase them in particular. Just play around and see what happens (thats what I do sometimes).

Do you still need any help/suggestions with this or did you get it all smoothed over and stable?
