Q6600 + Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme

[Chewy_Solo]

my fan is just a 120MM fan, its not a PWM fan. It has a 3 pin connector that i have hooked up to a fan controler and it wont let me change the speed for some reason

oh ya, silly me, i forgot about the fan. what fan and cfm can it push?

with a fully loaded temp of 55C that means your everyday load will be around 45-50C so you can overclock a little bit. i would try for 3.0GHz @ 1.3- 1.35v and see what temps you get.

i'm hoping you have a low cfm fan to which i say get a high speed one in its place and get 2 for a push pull config.

[Chewy_Solo]

i dont remember the exact model but mine is either 88CFM or 110CFM (probably the latter)

but if you consider that low cfm.... then idk

[Spawn-Inc]

no thats high. add a second and i could see temps drop 5C.

Is the motherboard automatically overvoltaging it? Try setting the speed and voltage manually, if you haven't already.

[Chewy_Solo]

add another fan? where, theres no connectors for the other side of the HSF. What voltages should i have?

[Spawn-Inc]

use what ever you have to use, zip ties is best i think.


stock voltage for q6600 is i think 1.2 +/- .05v

[nevermind1534]

Or often, it will say overvoltage, and you can just say +0, but you might have to say 1.2, or whatever.

[Chewy_Solo]

it was stock (auto) at 1.28Volts so i didnt change it.

ill do some moddin tommorowz

unfortunately i left the 1 left over fan at school when i was done building so i need to get that. But im going to move one of the HDDs out of the way of the CPU.
