Here I celebrate the opening of my new tech blog and passing the SIX SEVEN hour mark of stress test on my Q6600 processor chip.

I successfully overclocked the 2.4Ghz to 3.2Ghz and running it on stress using Prime95 utility. The temperature readings are as follow:

• Room temperature: 21.8°C
• Motherboard temperature: 35°C
• CPU temperature: 58°C max
• Core 1-4: 65°C max

My humble system’s Hardware are:

• Gigabyte EP-45T-DS3R
• Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepping with OCZ Vendetta 2 installed
• Sapphire ATi Radeon 4850 with Zalman VF1000 installed
• Western Digital 7400rpm 160GB Hardisk drive
• Pioneer DVD ReWritable Drive
• All assembled in NZXT Hush Casing (Black)

and my overclocked settings are:

• 400MHz x 8 = 3.2GHz
• DRAM frequency: 1333MHz
• CPU Voltage: Auto, reading 1.34~1.36v

I’m quite happy with my newly built rig. I’ll update more about my rig later. Stay tune!

As Rachel said in the my previous post comment, I neglected my blog again. I was too busy to blog. There is always something to do. You can visit Rachel’s blog about “our hazelnut cupcakes” posted on the 12th of August.

Okay I’ll be frank now, I was saying there’s always something to do. Besides assignments, there’s a new thing to be busy with recently. I bought a new PC!! Hell ya.. after so many years of laptop and gameless life, literally.

I built my system from scratch, for the first time, I picked every component myself and handbuild it, handbuild you know!! ya i know anybody can do it nowadays.. Unlike 8 years ago when I first had my PC.

Anyway, my PC arrived at my door piece by piece, actually only the first 2 pieces. The Antec 430W Power Supply Unit (PSU) arrived first and the latter was the casing. I was so happy to receive it and open packages, just like kids opening presents during Christmas, it’s just FUN.
