q6600 @ 4.2ghz :) :) :) idle 39 and under

[dannyboy321]

well i dont know if this is a good oc or not have not seen other q6600 ocs it took me three days after heavy work with my water cooling shes stable ran crysis and prime stress for 7 hours then kept using it lol well what do you guys think cheers:)

[v0dka]

4.2 stable is good, but at what voltage?

And load temps? From CoreTemp?

[MikeB12]

none of my g0's even come close to that... :( 3.4ghz@1.39ish and 3.6ghz@1.5ish

[CERO]

aham, i wont say that, my L737B can do 4.0ghz prime stable 12 hours @ 1.48vcore on air, with water 4.2 is doable........within "reasonable" voltage for that kind of speed.

[4Qman]

very nice.

my Go does 3.6 on air with 1.34v but not much more :(

[rangerone7669]

can you post a cpu-z screenshot please. i've seen several programs read wrong speed, all they read is the fsb and not the multi.

i'm not calling you a lier btw, just suggesting to look at cpu-z.

[dannyboy321]

sorry for the late response been smacked over with work well the voltage is 2.6v cant give you a pic yet as at work lol myloads are about 55 after 3 hours prime and 62 after 4 hours 100 percent load thinking of getting a better radiator or another temps too high for me lol though from 3.5 to 4.2ghz no increase in games seems gtx is good with 3.5 or lower aight thanks guys:)

exactly what i was going to say

cpu-z screenshot or it never happened

[MikeB12]

2.6v! "Bang, zoom, straight to the moon!" :shocked:

[dannyboy321]

will b back home soon wil post cpu-z house just down the road

[dannyboy321]

here cpu-z yo ranger one what cooling yu using you getting good temps for 3.7 thats bout what i get :):)

[Anemic]

Loadtemps with Core Temp and full load with Prime95? Great job!!

[dannyboy321]

thanks i have reverted back to 3.5 just now as gtx 280 seems to be fine at that and i dnt ever like seing a cpu hitting 60 no matter what i funny like that :) :)

[jcool]

Wow, 4,2 on water stable is very impressive. I can't even hit that on single stage because the mobo is holding me back, can't do above FSB 450 stable. It's not the chip though, tested in on another X38 at FSB 480.. I do hope DFI is coming out with a new bios soon. :(

[dannyboy321]

maybe you could help me out with something see i used to have the 8800 ultra and by what i could remember when i had vsync on everything was good, no problems but now with this gtx 280 when i enable it i get this mouse lag verry anoying, games ive tryed are crysis grid cod4 ut3 and bf2 all ive tryed and all do the same, ive done os reinstalls and all sorts and thinking gcard / drivers any ideas

[Cob]

My L737B -

[Viper.Br]

Wow. I though my Q6600 was not a good one because I have to use about 1.45v to 3.6GHz on air but by the average people here I think I have a good one :)

By the way, I'm buying a water cooler too, and I'll see what my baby can reach on water ;)

[rangerone7669]

here cpu-z yo ranger one what cooling yu using you getting good temps for 3.7 thats bout what i get :):)


i'm running a dtek fusion and a pa 120.3 i also have my nb in the loop using a dd block(cant remember model # tho)

this 3.7 is just a quick and dirty oc. i had it optimized at 3.8 at 1 time with lowest stable volts, but i forgot to write them down before i updated my bios last time.

my cpu heat spreader isnt the flattest in the world either. a good 5-7c difference across the cores, i just havent gotten around to lapping it yet.

if i try to set my core voltage above 1.6volts my mb barks at me at post, but i can get 4.0 benchable with 1.6volts, never tried higher volts. altho i do have a few dual core lying around i may try to push this quad a bit, see what it can do.

[ymer]

4.2ghz on water is really good man

[Clint]

thanks i have reverted back to 3.5 just now as gtx 280 seems to be fine at that and i dnt ever like seing a cpu hitting 60 no matter what i funny like that :) :)

How about that screenie with prime95 on all four cores and a tempindication at the speed that thread title implies (4.2GHz). Booting into a OC is far from running it stable under prime.

[fatguy1992]

Hi, u have P5E mobo and i was wondering what BIOS version u have? Cause I want to OC my Q6600 higher then 3.65GHz, but i think my BIOS might be stoppping. BTW thats a great OC, good work.

[fatguy1992]

BTW if u can could u plz take i pic of your BIOS settings. PLZ.

[Leeghoofd]

I still don't see any stability shots nor temps... all suicide to me... or isn't that the point of the thread ?

[chispy]

I still don't see any stability shots nor temps... all suicide to me... or isn't that the point of the thread ?

I second that.

[chispy]

The only way i could get above 4.2 for benching was under Dice at 1.74v on my Nasty Hot B3 not G0 totally stable but subzero temps.

[Newblar]

I second that.

i think hes on his big brother's computer :)

[nugzo]

I would really like to know the batch# of this monster G0.

[Pneumonic]

4.2 stable i.e. run prime95 for 8 hours is very nice 4.2 suiside you can do on air :)

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii246/Pneumonic_2007/4222.jpg

very nice little clock tho

[dannyboy321]

sorry for the late response was away forthe day um yea the mobo was holding me back and it seemd that the beta drivers i had was doing this get the latest bios and that should get you past 3.65 also if that doesnt work play around with the voltages if you know what your doing busy now cant do much right now maybe weekend sorr bye :)

[fatguy1992]

Ok thx, i'll update by BIOS some time :) But i'll try a few more time before.

[okorn]

Thats very much Voltage!

My Quad did 4005 3dmark stable with 1.52V...I think "he" would have managed more Mhz but DS3P and PowerSupply was holding me back.

[Clint]

i think hes on his big brother's computer :)

Hehe, yes.

And he doesn't have the timegap to do a long primesession before that brother of his comes back home, that's why he has "backed down" to 3.5GHz.:D

4.2GHz primestable for 7 hours...ahumm.

Oh well, moving on.:rolleyes:

[nugzo]

I was hopeful he was legit and with a new batch # :stop: playin with my emotions.

[Leeghoofd]

Await Q9650 Nugzo and you will be happy quadding ever after at 4ghz... Hope they close this thread , nothing valid enough here...

[road-runner]

My Q6600 with water 4.2Ghz http://service.futuremark.com/results/showSingleResult.action?resultId=5382950&resultType=14

[Viper.Br]

I was playing around with my Q6600 yesterday and the max (on air) I could keep stable on Windows was 4.05GHz:

http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/6855/1mtk2.png

Ok.. just Pi stable but.. o well :p:

Anything above ~450 fsb my system reboots so I can't prime above that so far. Don't know if is related to any motherboard voltage or temperature.

[Hockster]

You guys make me sad. my B3 Needs 1.4 volts just to get to a 333 FSB. 1.5 to get to 350, but that is insanely unstable and OCCT overheats the chip in under 90 seconds, open case and a Scythe fan on a TRUE.

[Skratch]

does 8m pi count as stable lol,I can get those all day long at 3.8-3.9 with my q6600,but far from prime stable.If one min counts then I can break a few records with my chip too.

I call bs on this whole thread 8 hours prime lol ya ok,I bet anything you wont even get 8 seconds with that voltage

[Leeghoofd]

Well the OP still got time to prove us wrong... but hardly think it will be prime stable...

[jonny_ftm]

Await Q9650 Nugzo and you will be happy quadding ever after at 4ghz... Hope they close this thread , nothing valid enough here...

With a 33% average improvement with nehalem quadcores, seeing th eprice of a future Q9650 and if the nehalem is a godd overclocker, maybe waiting 3 months is the best choice today, as we talk about a really new evolution, including socket and architecture

PS:
Sorry, my post has nothing to do with OP topic, but hey, as already said, this title of topic is only a false attraction, nothing else

Now, I'm even more pissed off...
My Q6600 needs 1.72-73v just to do 3.86GHz, and mine is a G0...

[XCheater]

you just another unlucky guy like me :yepp:

[fatguy1992]

I only need like 1.35v to run stable at 3.65GHz.

[strange|ife]

4.2 is impressive at that voltage. But without some sort of prime for at least an hour it's not stable. WWe want pics

I was able to do about 4.1 ghz sucide on my G0 with insane voltage for air at around 1.62 if i recall..backed it down to 3.6 @1.45v started fiddling around tonite and have been stable at 3.735 with a slight bump up to 1.48 with c1e still enabled to keep vcore low during long periods of idle.

this chip could do ok on some exotic cooling, but im happy with it.

OP there is or was a whole thead in overclockin area just for Q6600 just letting ya know if you want to compare your chip.

some of the new G0's people ive noticed are getting just plain suck, but im sure there are some gem's out there still

[dannyboy321]

haha you guys got me yea no way stable thats why i reverted back to 3.5 sorry lol it could barly run the crysis bench at that lol :) was trying to get some help on my vsync problem but people just looked past the post and wanted to catch me out hehe good on ya though its not right for me to go and do that against the rules aint it


well since done please visit here and help sorry and cheers

[bt_medic04]

heres my G0. Prime Stable for 8 hours at this speed :up:

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/simple_inhibition/Q6600.jpg

still leaves me with plenty of room to juice my processor voltage if i want, and cooling isnt an issue as im on water as well

[dannyboy321]

ya thats good i should really go to 3.8 but i think il wait for my second gtx 280 so it can be used lol

[quake6]

Nice CPU...I had one quad and I sold it :( This was on air

[Skratch]

can you people stop with the suicide pics,anyone can run a 4+ghz 1 mil super pi time,lets see some 4ghz 32mil and some prime screen shots.Its funny with all these pics not one of them shows a prime pic,every one of you guys says ya this is prime stable for 8 hours and then in your sig you have 400x8 go quad core lol.

[quake6]

If it is stable cca 4.5ghz 1m,then probably it is stable 32m on ~4.3,but I don't have CPU anymore,so can't test it

[Leeghoofd]

If it is stable cca 4.5ghz 1m,then probably it is stable 32m on ~4.3,but I don't have CPU anymore,so can't test it

World of difference there mate... I can run Superpi 630FSB 1mb at 4.4 on the wolf.. but on p45 scores are not earthshattering... yet have a hard time completing 32Mb on 600FSB at 4.2... superpi is nice but that doesn't mean at all that it's stable...and your score of 11 secs I can do that with a 4ghz CPU, no need for 500FSB with a quad....

For 1mb you need the rig to be stable what 20 secs max in windows before it BSOD's on ya... for 32Mb you need over 10-11 minutes for it to behave... total different ballpark...

This topic could have been a nice topic on the Fud or Inquirer page... no proof... just some words put in an html page...

[aoch88]

There's no prime screenshot, just Super PI. It doesn't prove the settings of 4.2 is stable.

[bt_medic04]

yup, exactly like that. a good nice 8 hour P95 run :up:

[fatguy1992]

WOW whats cooling that?
BTW nice work :D

[Skratch]

I rather see an orthos pic,you can easily fake a prime,just run it and then use clock gen to change the cpu speed.you can do that in orthos too tho,but you dont have much time to.At least in orthos it says the cpu speed

[dannyboy321]

haha this still going well as i said in page two 4.2 was not stable no prime picture because it could not last that long lol so sorry for wasting peoples time

Well believe it or not I dont really care tbh... CPUz is showing the clock speed (have the validation ID if you like) along with coretemp so I dont see your issue.. Prime is pretty much the accepted method on Quads

4ghz primestable isnt unheard of Iceman for one had his Q6600 @ 4.1ghz primestable and another guy over at OCUK has his at 4.3ghz (under phase) primestable for 8hours +, if you look on the database here or at OCUK are a number of Q6600 @ 4ghz + 8 hours Prime/Orthos stable

Kool, i'm getting another 2 fans for my IFX-14 soon, then i'll try harder for above 3.6GHz. :D
