Post what Vcore you needed to get your Q6600 to 3.6Ghz :up:
B3.... 1.65 in bios just to get into windows, and I doubt that is load stable. this on a P5K Green.
3.6 Ghz @
1.52 in BIOS.
1.41v Real Loaded.
3.7 Ghz @
1.55 in BIOS.
1.43v Real Loaded.
3.8 Ghz @
1.58 in BIOS.
1.46v Real Loaded.
G0, L724A
Prime stable@10m.
3600MHz@1.3920Vcore :idea:

B3 3.6ghz 1.51 real.
BIOS=1.40V, 1.368V @ AIsuite, 24/7
G0 Q6600, VID = 1.2875V
G0 L724A 1.45v Bios, 1.41v real. Prime stable.
With the specs being 1.100V-1.372V... you all seem to take it beyond... how dangerous is that ? Is that for getting a good oc or for running forever ?
Moderate increases in voltage(~10%) are not dangerous at all provided you keep core temperatures under control. I don't think there's been a single documented case of anyone burning out a CPU while running moderately increased core voltage. It is highly debateable what is the absolute max safe voltage so it's up to the individual to decide what they are comfortable with.
Naturally running any piece of equipment beyond spec will shorten it's life. But if the original lifespan of a CPU is 10+ years and your OC shortens it to 6, does it really matter? Not many people keep their hardware that long, especially overclockers.
around 1.4v with B3 kentsfield
mine needs 1.4375 set in bios..
1.405 un-load / 1.392 on-load
10h of Prime95 25.4

L726A951
1.525 set in bios
1.450 actual
this is only game stable, not prime or orthos
you reckon this stable?Quote:

L724A760 on a quad gt with p965 chipset
Q6600 B3 L644G361 1.500 bios / 1.475 Load. 60 deg load.
Q6600 G0 L723A891 1.600 bios / 1.580 Load. 60 deg load.
Voltage Damper enabled.
Both 8 hours prime stable.
Thats interesting that the G0 requires quite a lot more voltage than the B3.Quote:

Rbs.
Is that Prime Small FFTs stable? How long?Quote:

:rolleyes: :D
I played around w/ 3.6ghz, but honestly don't remember the voltages.
I'm prime stable @ 30 minutes (which is NOT technically stable, but looks like it will be fine) @ 3.7 ghz (411x9)
I'm running 1.5175 in the bios, 1.4720 via AI suite.
I've run 400x9 with almost everything on auto and i booted 3.6ghz to vista. You can see what vista reports, then just drop the voltage till you are not prime stable/can't post.
Hope this helps...
I actually got lucky and talked to the guys at my computer shop and said the L723A891 (VID1.300v) I just bought a day ago was a horrible overclocker and they said no problem we will swap it for you.:cool: Swapped for a L726A850 (VID1.2625v) and this chip is way better so far. Just installed it and did a quick test @ 360 FSB Auto vcore 1.3360v under prime large FTT's then set to 1.4750v and 400fsb in Bios ran large FTT's for around 40 min 1.4480 under load. Going to drop the vcore a couple of notches and work up. Maybe I can get away with less vcore.Quote:

Hi,
Q6600 G0 L728A VID=1,2625v aircooling U120e with 2 fans @ 1500 rpm
1,26v real (DMM) = 3300 with IP35 pro
1,36v real (DMM) = 3600 with IP35 pro 54°c max ( average of 52°c)

1,49v (under load) = 3800 with P5L Deluxe
