So I just got my new system built (sans video card because EVGA is horribly slow at shipping) and I have been overclocking.
The system is:
Q6600 with a Tuniq Tower120 cooloer
p5k-deluxe
4x1 gb crucial ballistix
and a piece of crap pci video card
I've gotten stable for 2hrs in prime95 with settings of:
400x9
vcore at 1.50 in bios but it droops all the way down to 1.39 under load
CPU PLL at 1.7v
NB @ 1.60v
FSB Termination Voltage at 1.25v
I'm running up to 64C while under prime95 on the CPU. These temps were measured using Asus' PC Probe II.
Using Coretemp (which I've given up on because it causes crashes) I read on average 2-8C higher meaning I could be running up to 72*C.
My question is, is that bad? Would more case flow be beneficial(currently have 3x120fans)? Will my 8800GT cause my processor to run hotter?(if I ever get it) and finally, is 1.5v drooping to 1.39v too much for the Q?
