Its quite odd that I get conflicting info from these 2 programs. Also, I read online that Micro Trend PC-cillin, the dell loaded anti-virus can cause BSODs. I removed it, and its been 2 days since a blue screen. Perhaps that was it. Also, is it normal for the core temps to get around 60 C under load before the processor fan kicks in and brings it back down? Course, will so many numbers being off, who knows if the temperature reporting is even accurate.

These voltages are way off. I'm guessing the overclock is putting too much of a strain on the PSU and making it go out of spec. Do you know what your 12V and 3.3V was before the OC? Voltages like this will cause instability, and down the road shorten the life of your components.

I did the BSEL tape mod and have success. It runs at the 3.0ghz and 1333 FSB. I have run multiple benchmarks in sisoft sandra and it performs very well. Temperatures very from mid 30s idle to about 60 under load which I believe is acceptable. The computer does not fail under load. However, it seems every few hours it gets a blue screen of death while idle. STOP 0X000000080.

I find it strange that you had major problems with CPU temps only in the mid 50's. From what I've read online, these chips shouldn't have a problem reaching even the 80 degree C mark.

When I run OCCT (set temp max to 80), the CPU temp plateus at around 66-69 after 10 minutes of full load. I can hear the CPU fan throttling up and down to keep the temperature there. The chip is certainly capable of handling it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20313252 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:42:32 EDT Re: [OC] Q6600 to 3Ghz tape mod OC question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20313129 anon :

Create 4 folders with superpi in each one. Superpi, superpi1, superpi2, superpi3.

After you launch em, and before you hit the "calculate" button, go into task manager and set the affinity as "one superpi per core". Then hit the calculate button.

I got in on that Inspiron 530 deal a few weeks back and did the BSEL/"tape" mod. The motherboard is a Foxconn G33 variant.

So far, I've only heard success stories and not a single failure (at least one that couldn't be reversed). My processor gets up to about 50 degrees and on cores 1 & 2 under full load (playing TF2, music, compressing videos) for an hour. I cleaned the stock thermal paste off and replaced with Arctic Silver 5.

I didn't bother doing any load testing before the mod so it'd be interesting to see before and after performance differences.

Also, this method is much simpler than using conductive ink or a larger tape patch: »www.ocforums.com/attachment.php?···04094697 Just put some electrical tape on a piece of glass and use a razor to cut a piece the correct size to cover that pin.

It doesnt work like and is almost as bad as using no thermal compound.The fact he says to reuse the thermal compound shows he doesnt know what hes talking about and chances are that mod actually doesnt work. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20295853 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 10:10:13 EDT Re: [OC] Q6600 to 3Ghz tape mod OC question http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20295446 DKS : It may work, but if you blow it, it's $250 for a new proc.

However, this is highly suspicious in my mind. The author suggests just putting the computer back together, without reapplying thermal paste. Not a wise thing, IMHO. Not wise at all.
