can't seem to get my E6600 past 3.30GHz (366.67x9). RAM 4-4-4-12 T1 @ 733.33MHz

took crazy voltage just to get it that high too.. temps are at 40C/60C

4 hours orthos stable

3DMark06: 14485

While you hear a lot of people flapping around saying an E6600 should go to 3.6Ghz stable, it just isn't that simple. Many E6600's only hit around 3-3.2Ghz, infact most do. 3.6Ghz is for lucky people who got a good chip.

3.3Ghz is a great return on that chip, but what voltage are you at? You shouldn't push more than 1.5 on air if you can help it, and definitely not more than 1.55 on air.

I've managed to get 3.4Ghz and it's stable so far,

i'm around 1.5 but i think i'm under 1.5 after vdroop

on ocforums i've seen a lot of people get 3.3+GHz with less voltage

i'm so tempted to get a E6750 just to see what i can do with it lol

since i found out that Asus won't be releasing a BIOS update for 680i boards to support 45nm chips i'm thinking that E6750 or Q6600 is the best i'm gonna get for my mobo....

Updated:

ASUS P5K-E

Core2Duo E6550 @ 2.8GHz (400x7) 1.192v Stock HSF

Temps 36c Idle / 55c running Orthos for 8 Hours with no errors.

G.Skill DDR2-800 4-4-3-5-24-2T 2.1v

I belive my temps were off in the other post. I think I mixed stock speed idle temp and oc'd load temp. Now the temps look fine.

Mine aren't much special:

CPU: Athlon 64 x2 4000+(brisbane) @ 2825mhz stable with just a little voltage increase. Stock is 2100. On the stock cooler atm but i plan to replace that with something better soon.

GPU: MSI 8600GT OC @ 650/1675/1700, from the stock 580/1508/1600.

Q6600 with gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L MOBO and G.Skill pc6400 ram.

356x9 = 3.2Ghz on air cooling, memory running at 853 Mhz, 5-4-4-14 timings. temps are all under 45 degrees, 30 something at idle, under 50 at load.

post-26332-1209263573.jpg

E6600 @ 3.5Ghz

clock-1.jpg

Asus P5B Deluxe, crappy Corsair Value RAM, and the stock HSF. Slightly hot - seems to run at about 40-45c idle. Stock voltages too. (Y)

Slap a better fan on that and push it further!

Mines runs about 40-45 as well, and under full load it's 55-60.

And it's at 1.53V ;)

Got my 9600GT at 730/1825/2006 haven't even tried going higher yet but will, this thing overclocks real well, temps hardly went up at all and it's the stock single clot cooling.

actually really brought framerates in crysis up enough so I could leave all the settings on high and play smoothly.

    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094149 / KB5095971 / KB5094156 Setup, Recovery updates by Sayan Sen Earlier this week Microsoft released its newest Patch Tuesday updates (KB5094126 / KB5093998 on Windows 11 and KB5094127 on Windows 10). Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11 as well as Windows 10.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
