Q6600 B3 ES @4009Mhz - Asus P5K Deluxe + 14-18C ambients
Winter is truly here in Brisbane Australia tonight :woot:

Normal night time room ambients = 25-30C
Tonight room ambients = 14-18C :cool:

Corsair Nautilus 500 external water cooling gets a reversible modification. At first I tried to replace the stock 120x25mm 44cfm fan, but it uses very small Torx screws to hold the fan in place so couldn't replace the fan. So I removed the entire lid, grabbed one of my Thermochill HE120.3 single 120mm fan shrouds and a Spire 120x25mm 96cfm fan and sat it on the radiator itself :)

This is how it turned out and the Asus P5K Deluxe setup.

Resulted in low 30-40ish idle coretemps in windows for the whole bench session :D

Just doing some super pi runs for now. Will try wprime as well if I'm lucky to get similar cold ambient temps tomorrow :)

cpuz validation

http://fileshosts.com/intel/Asus/P5K..._validated.png

I had 4021Mhz but system rebooted before i could save cpuz validation :(

But bloody fast Super Pi 32M times for a Quad core kentsfield B3 step cpu considering they're slower clock for clock then Core 2 duo dual core B2 stepping cpus for single instance Super Pi :)

sweet!!!! 4ghz on a quad core who doesn't want that! very good work!

are you sure quads are slower
some people are saying they are a touch faster
i would say that's the case for sure after looking at those times :eek:

lol dinos, were you reading my mind?

I would be alot more excited about 500 fsb than a 4000mhz validation at 14c, but it looks like you have an above average Q6600 ;)

i'll be pulling apart mine as well...............just trying to get a cheap radiator

looks like the pump is a DDC-2 as well :)

Someone who doesn't want a PC stable for more than CPU-Z and MS paint?

I've done this too, 4 GHz is indeed bootable, paintable, without even voltmodding my board.. and I think this is the case for many q6600s with the right board and decent cooling. get it to shrink a dvd at that speed, with a multithreaded encoder, and watch what happens.

yeah for single instance super pi B3 slower than B2 from my testing, dual super pi B3 wipes the floor with B2 though :)

hehe yeah my Q6600 is 24/7 prime stable/folding stable @3600Mhz at 1.45v on P5B Deluxe :)

I am only saying you need to run some wprime and I know you have a higher validation in you with your skills :)

have to wait until later tonight ... room temp right now 25.8C hehe

Thats great! Wish I could do that with my QX, but room temps averaging 30+C here, its not easy, and my ghettoed Water chiller falls back after 1hour of prime with 30C water temp... aside that 1.45v = 1.35-1.31v :( on my board

eva2000

3600Mhz at 1.45v is in 28-33C room temps stable :)

And whats Your Vdroop like... mine is outrousious. I run 3.2Ghz 24/7 @ 1.31 set in bios, which translate to 1.22-1.21 real volts under full load. 1.26-1.27 idle.

18C winter :rolleyes:

Sweet time @ 3.6Ghz considering it is P35

Very nice indeed mister George, though man you really need a proper bench setup this is messy (even for me )

0.01v droop with P5K Deluxe due to CPU voltage damper enabled in bios (no droop :) )

hehe i haven't seen such cold winter temps in over 14+ months.. last winter was pretty warm above 20C for me.

hah that i consider tidy.. you should see my other rigs (i don't use cases hehe)

Well not as cold as last night but couldn't wait until 2AM - 5AM for colder temps :)

Wprime 32M @3977Mhz at 1.6375v bios

Managed to pull off wprime 32M @3977Mhz - took three runs to get it to pass hehe

Wprime 32M + 1024M @3920Mhz at 1.6375v bios set

Trying 1024M higher but errors crop up all over the place in wprime right now :lol:
