Hi there,
I've recently gotten my hands on a cheap q6600 Engineering sample G0 stepping moving from an old e5200.
I tried overclocking it out of the box and got it at 399X8 = 3.2Ghz stable with no voltage tweaks.
So far so good.
But then i tried to run prime and temp readings in the 70C range.
however, HWinfo and Easytune report them around 60C.
Cpu-z also for some reason does not give the correct clock speed.
I'm on the F6 bios and was wondering if Core temp or Hwinfo has some issues with reading the temps on the ES chips?. I'm not sure which one is accurate.
thanks
