QX6700 @ 4.000Mhz Air Cooled

[Pedro Rocha]

I decide to find the max benchable of my retail QX6700 air cooled on the P5B Deluxe - motherboard is unmoded so the real maximum VCore is 1.58V ..

Cooled by a Tuniq Tower 120, of course ;)

First the Everest Info

4 simultaneous SuperPI's one each core - each a 4Ghz

Everest CPU Queen at 4Ghz

And finally the CPU Cinbench 9.5, almost 4Ghz ..but runs 3.970 Mhz

10 Seconds, not bad for a air cooled Quad Core :D

At this moment P5B seems the right board for Quad Cores - I just wish it give so much FSB in the 680i :rolleyes:

[skootyloops]

What temps does coretemp show it running at? Never really trusted Speedfan ;)

Same than Everest - see last picture Everest are temps sensor readings are on the right side

Ahh I see. I really need to invest in monitors which can get over 1024x768 res :p:

[Supertim0r]

wow, insane for air :slobber:

whats your ambient temp ?

[Speederlander]

What board volts in bios?

And what was ambient?

[Pedro Rocha]

wow, insane for air :slobber:

whats your ambient temp ?

This winter is quite cold for Portugal standards , should be around 17 / 18ºC :(

[makatee]

That is one strong chip! The temps are also very good for a quad core. Congrats you lucky bencher you ;)

[Shift]

What fan do you have in the Tuniq? The one that it came with?

That si some nice overclocking:D

[[cTx]Philosophy]

Yah now thats the type of rig im looking for on air..

Nice work pedro, now gimme some good prices :P

[Celcius]

Very nice chip!

[T07N]

tuniq tower doesn't come with a fan.

[Speederlander]

tuniq tower doesn't come with a fan.
err...yes it does. ;)

[G H Z]

Nice, this board likes your chip. Pretty good lookin 4 X 1M too ;)

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

tuniq tower doesn't come with a fan.LOL who told you that?

[T07N]

LOL who told you that?

oh :banana::banana::banana::banana:, im thinking of sonic tower sorry guys.

[TaPaKaH]

:toast: Nice CPU

Any chance of telling us the step? :D

Waiting for it to shine under your cascades :)

[Nitrogenium]

Very good Kent. Congrats.

Waiting for it to shine under your cascades :)
Me too.

[kemo]

Nice kenty you got there Pedro
Good work
I think that is the same one used with the mini Cascade

[Omastar]

What is max ORTHOS stable?

Good work, though. Great OC for air. :)

[zeeke]

Nice one Pedro, any plans on vcpu mod?

[filmbot]

Nice one Pedro, any plans on vcpu mod?

Thats what I am wondering. If it does 4G on air with no mod, I would what it will hit with mod.

[npk]

:toast: Nice CPU

Yeah I 2nd that, batch please! :D

[Ghostwind]

Wow, great overclock Pedro.
I was about to ask the same thing as skootyloops since i discovered that on my P5B Dlx, SpeedFan was reading my QX6700 temps 10-20C under CoreTemp and Asus PC Probe.

I'm also curious if your other voltages are maxed out in BIOS, like NB and SB ?
Thanx =)

[Pedro Rocha]

Yeah I 2nd that, batch please! :D

The new beta 8 of SpeedFan 3.2 introduced support for DTS temperature readings (the internal temperature from Core Duo's) - check http://www.almico.com/sfbetaprogram.php

The readings on all 4 cores on SpeedFan are not full similiar to Coretemp or Everest (that reads the same that CoreTemp), check pic 2nd and 4th pics
I don't what are more accurate..

NB : 1.55v
SB : 1.7v
Mem : 2.40

At these voltages an aditional fan on NB / mem area is almost mandatory.

[jabski]

nice work Pedro. I hope my QX6700 will get to 4Ghz. Its going on my P5B Dlx tomorrow :)

[irev210]

awesome work pedro!

I will see if i can match it. All my ES's are gone and I got a retail arriving today.

XBX2 rev 505, ASUS P5B DLX both standing by :)

[rob[GL]]

I wish I could get my hands on a quad core.

[k|ngp|n]

Wow! That's a nice chip Pedro. What's the highest you can 3d06 at on air using SLI??

[Pedro Rocha]

Hi Mr. 100K :D

No 8800 SLI on P5B Dlx unfortunately :(

On the EVGA 680i and in mini-cascade around 4.550 3DMark06 benchable - but the QX6700 produce really to much heat for the mini-cascade unpowerfull compressors (temps jump like crazy with more tan 1.75v) , maybe it will be solved with a diferent calibration but doesnt make much sense .. I will test on Ricky's tri-stage since it is near at ethylene bottle ;)

I'm to lazy to unmount the 680i from the mini-cascade to test this QX6700 on air with 8800 SLI :p:

Speaking of Ricky tri-stage - almost ready http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1931640&postcount=81 if handles this QX6700 with 1.8v at sub-100ºC can handle everything..

;)

Hi Mr. Quad :D

I'm sure you can do better, this was the one and only quad I test - maybe was beginer luck ;)

Please show the XBX2 rev 505, I have one arrriving :)

[R @ P T O R]

very good work Pedro!! :up:

[Blknoel]

Pretty bold statement there, you never know ^^, it doesn't concern or involve me in anyway but I hope you always have more than 100 bucks in paypal, just in case lol.

Oh, you double posted ^^

To OP: gratz on getting such a good quad chip and high clocks on air, maybe newer batches will change the picture ^^

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

I know 2 people that have it and their max is around 3.3ghz using TT typhoon. If you can hit 4ghz i'll grant you 100 bucks via pay-pal. lol
I am priming my QX6700 at 3.3GHZ 1.3V load, just did a 14+ hour 4 x prime at 1.3V under load. I am hoping for 3.6GHZ air cooled 1.4v loaded.

3.2GHZ 1.3v = 60c full load 14 + hours
3.3ghz 1.3v = 60c full load 10 minutes so far

System:
Asus P5B deluxe
QX6700 L638A588
2GB G.Skill 6400HZ
TuniQ tower 120 extreme cooled AIR
Silverstone 850W Zeus

[cpu4you]

Pedro, those numbers are great/...How long can you have this system running? I leave my computers on 24/7, would you be able todo that with your system setup on the overclocked side?

[Atom]

i think i'm gonna try the cooler he used for mine.I dont want to oc much...just to like 3ghz
nice work though

[cpu4you]

Will be getting (3) Kentfields any day now and was wondering if anyone knows if there is a board out there that would support dual Kentsfield?
Thanks\\\\\

[Reg-Edit]

There are some different ways to have a overclock

1 SS
2 Bench stable (Spi, 3D mark)
3 Prime stable

Dont think he is running his Kent 24/7 @ 4Ghz ;)

[anarinsk]

Really nice job in air! Great!

the only problem, is that when your cpu temp is below zero it shows core0 = 8°c and core1=8°c, with core temp, TAT, spdfan beta.

[Ming@s]

It looks at Peter Rocha, these always there these of parabens. Force in this.

[StealthyFish]

This winter is quite cold for Portugal standards , should be around 17 / 18ºC :(

hmm... it's like around -1 to 1 C here.

[[XC] flat-four]

not to semi revive a semi dead thread, but anyone know what kind of average multi's and fsb people are getting? i've seen the extreme results, but not the avg. i would love to see a average oc with what mb people are getting with what voltage/multi/fsb/etc.. people are getting. i know my mb and qx are getting here soon, and would love to see some stats so far from our members so i know what to hope for

Not that I know of. If you want to go that way you should look at Xeons.

quad 4gig on air rockz :cheer:
