Questions for you guys. Currently I'm stable at 3303mhz over 12 hours prime. My temps look fine nothing over 52C.
Settings that achieve this are:
3303mhz
367mhz cpu frq.
1.35 vcore (1.27 full load windows)
1:1 FSB DRAM
2.0 volts mem
4-4-4-12 2T
1.25 MCH (NB Voltage)
Now when i try to move beyond a decent OC and start posting real numbers i run into problems. One mainly being the MASSIVE amount of vcore drop, generally 0.06-0.08 volts and high as 0.1 volts under full load. Is this common to see such a huge vdrop? Only thing i can think of is the PSU not being able to handle the huge draw. Next thing that caught my eye was the massive temp difference between the cores. At some points it was up to 10C. Is this commmon as well?
Last OC' settings: (only passed prime for ~ 10 minutes)
3600mhz
400mhz
1.47 vcore (windows full load 1.37-.38)
2.2 mem. volts
MCH 1.33
1:1 mem divider
5-5-5-15 2t
Thanks for all the help,
Scott
That wasn't so hard now was it? I have a hard time believing you are only hitting 60C under load with "AIR" but i don't want to argue with you anymore. Nice clock. :up:Quote:

Hey, thanks man ! Those are some impressive numbers.
Could anyone answer my questions? Would the PSU be causing that much vcore drop or is it the mobo? If it is the mobo then is it ok to set a high vcore, lets say 1.5 volts just to get 1.43-45 volts when under load? Last, s it common to see a 10-8C diff. in core temps?
Thanks man :up: .Quote:

Dropping the multiplier(in my case) shows incorrect speed in windows and core temp. CPU-Z shows correct speed.
i know most of these chips are locked but the multi is locked from x9-x6 is it not?
It's locked to go higher. Not sure about a lock to go lower then 6x but why would you want to?
im looking for 8 so i can run nicely at 400x8 for 24/7 at this time im just wondering because in windows it says 3.6/ core temp its 3.6 449*8 / and cpuz is right
ok, thank you...but...i kindly ask you to drop the idea that prime 95 is mandatory to show stability...it is not a necessary tool ...the real test of stability comes from what a puter user does with his/her system without aborting the program, BSOD, freezing, or randomly reboots...to me, and it should be for you, a true test of stability!Quote:

no, you are wrong about everest..it is a superior tool to check for stability...it shows the weakness almost immediately...i am just going to say that you have no clue on what stability is all about.Quote:

Got some New OCs for my q6600. I think I lucked out with this quad, but I need another fan on my rad. I'm now putting ICE on 1/3 of it. Not the best idea, but its temporary. LOL!

This is my 3.780ghz Prime Stable (420x9)for at least 1 hour. Vista killed the program, but the test itself didn't fail. I will re-test this later.
http://i12.tinypic.com/6ccpytw.jpg
I need another fan for my triple radiator! Two San Ace + One Arctic cooling doesn't come close to three San Ace fans on high!
I have another stupid question. I know my CPU is ok right now at 67*C. Two cores are at 65*C. This is tollerable to run 24/7, right? The max tollerance for temp is 70*C I thought. As well, I'm under 1.6v. I think i'm at 1.5875v for the cpu. Is this as well to high to run 24/7?
1) It's the motherboardQuote:

how's the L724A760 batch? haven't seen any 4ghz for it .. anyone achieve that? .. also what would be a 24/7 clock for quadcores?
Either my board sucks a huge rusty nail, or its not all its cracked up to be. I'm leaning towards board since I can no longer even ppost at 400x9(1.53 in bios) when i was fully prime stable a week ago.Quote:

I just got my Q6600 G0 yesterday and got some nice results so far. I am sure I can take it higher but I thought this was a really nice start. 1 problem I did run in to is when I changed the multiplier to 8 in bios it didn't work. It still used the 9x multi for some reason. Anyways here are some shots 10 hours prime. This was in a pretty hot room too.
Add 15c for all temps (I didn't know I could make the adjustment through speedfan)

Also, do you think that using AS5 will lower the temps any? I will post back later when i have more results.
Thanks ... Scott
i return all the voltages back to a lower state since i am not priming 24/7, which is a hideous idea...if you prime for 30 minutes or an hour, i would say, COOL...GOOD SHOW!":up:Quote:

4.0ghz on air and doing prime 95 is going to be a problem unless you have a stellar cpu, board and memory...when i booted into windows at 4Ghz, i was unable to run everest stability program for more than 2 minutes before it would freeze...i am golden at 3.84ghz with everest....the only thing that might make me stumble is my tight memory timings....i can't run at (1:1.2 ratio) ddr1152 at very loose timings with my teamgroup ddr1000 ram...so...i settled for ddr980 (1:1) at 4-4-4-12...performance is good enough for me.
i just tried the everest stability test, and it doesnt even reach my prime95 temperatures. pic coming up. your facing the majority, Prime>everest. i could probably run the everest test at 4 ghz and still pass lmao.
1.55v set in BIOS. :)
Not stable. :p:
I'm not looking to run stable or 24/7 at 4Ghz, was just a max test to see what the CPU could do. I'm happy at 3.6 & sure I could do 3.7 maybe 3.8, but I fold 24/7 with all my rigs so lower temps for 24/7 "Full Load" use is what I'm after. With air cooling & as hot as it has been here in Ms that's about all I want to do at this time for 24/7 use.
Got my G0 today with batch L724B141 and i´m running 8*450 at the moment with 1.3625 vcore and my question is how high vcore is acceptable for 24/7 with decent watercooling and this Q6600?
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...zet/3.6ghz.jpg
Coretemp showing some strange fsb under frequency, is this usual?
I would use 1.55v max. is that prime stable? i have a l724b143 coming soon so hope it clocks well.Quote:

I don't think a lot of people realize that F@H is a pretty good indicator of stability as well. With SMP client I have had it shut down while that setting had passed several hour of prime. Add a notch of vcore and it works ok. SMP client pegs all four cores but does not create the heat that Prime small FFt's do. So everyones stability requirements are different. Most folders don't do 8 hours for stability they do 24/7 with the cpu's pegged. I am in total agreement with The Wolf that I want cool first, fast second so I can leave it unattended and not worry. Just my opinion on having to pass 8 hours prime to prove it's stable.Quote:

i think not only GripS would agree with me. once i get my evga 680i i should be able to do 3.8ghz prime. once i go past 3680 with this dfi 680i lt, it fails.
your way too childish for me. quite a lack of maturity as GripS commented.
by the way, i passed the 16k fft length in 5 hrs 10 min, so something is fishy.
Glad to see someone else post there same findings as me about Folding & prime. Same as with you it passed many hours of prime & or ORTHOS but fail to fold stable. Like you I just added one step up of vcore & its been stable since. So I fail to see were Prime or ORTHOS is a sure sign of stability when passed. I only use Prime & ORTHOS to get what looks to be stable & then use F@H to find its true stability.Quote:

when you get that evga 680i board, come on back and splash your sucess!...i'll be waiting for you!;)
I am sitting here trying to figure out how you air guys are showing lower temps than some of the high end water systems I've seen. Either my temps are being read wrong or your temps are being read wrong. I won't believe for a second that air cooling is working better than water. Also I realize certain chips will run hotter than others but the numbers just aren't adding up for me. Are you air guys with the low temps using a window AC unit to blow directly on the MB or something? There is something missing from this equation I just know it! :)
This is what I'm getting right now with a room temp of 27C/80F. This is actually higher than norman because I had the rig apart last night & didn't get a good seating as I had before plus its a little hotter today than normal. Was 58C across all cores or lower.

Just to show the difference between a B3 & G0 temp wise. Here a shot of a B3 using less vcore & at a slower FSB & over all speed. These both use the same basic cooling system. One has the stock style CPU cooler connectors & the other has like shown in the 1st link. Actually this setup cools better & is easier setup. B3 is under the second link.
looks like we have a problem; while i was tweaking the gtls, i noticed this:
small ffts=min ffts size of 8k, max fft size of 64k
your screenshot says "1280k passed". if you dont understand what im talking about, read again.
so you were running blend, not small ffts as most of us do. try running small ffts. i just helped out a guy @ forum.ncix.com saying that his comp failed blend after 22hrs but failed 10 mins of small fft. dont you agree GripS?
LOL.Worth a try.:DQuote:

Let's just say we test stability one way and he tests another way and be done with it. It's really not worth arguing about anymore.
Blend doesn't push the cpu that hard at all, good for testing the system memory after small fft's has passed with higher temps.
Oh btw.

You must be on stock cooler, cause those temps look ridiculously high at 2ghz.
read his post again situman :P
Don't use TAT, it was designed for pentium M processors, so please do not use extinct software. instead use prime v25.4 and prime all 4 cores with small ffts, reading temps from coretemp (or speedfan, if you use speedfan, you must set a 15 degree offset for each of the cores in the settings for INTEL CORE).
as for the 6x issue, i have had that before with extremely high temperatures. look for a "disable temperature throttling" something like that in your bios.
use rmclock and go to Advanced CPU settings, then uncheck TM1, TM2, and extended throttling, then apply.
What's the advantage of small FFTs nowadays? I remember, that some time ago small FFTs were used because they would fit into the processors cache, alleviating any dependence on ram. However, considering the Core 2 Quads have 2x4MB of cache, the largest FFTs are 1024KB, you'd think that Large FFTs would fit completely in the cache assuming you were doing a pure test session and not web browsing or doing anything else at the time.Quote:

well my machine craps out right away if i do small ffts at 3.95, otherwise its done large for 1/2hr without crapping out (so far).
Some benchmarks at 4 ghz. Isn´t the superpi result to low or it seems about right?
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...zet/4ghz-2.jpg
I'm getting 13.771s @ 3.7ghz. I'd imagine 300 mhz would shave off .8 seconds or so....
Did a few 3D Mark 06 runs at 3924 Mhz and couldn'd figure why I was getting lower scores than my previous Q 6600 B3 runs at 3654. I thought the GPU OC was not holding but it turns out the newer 162 Nvidia drivers give me a score average of 13600 and the 158 gave me 14200 but the cpu score was good. Seems 3dmark stable as I ran the test about 6 times trying to figure out what was wrong.:rolleyes: Sorry about the screenies but the last time I posted a 3dmark link it didn't work.:)

Nice chip. Looks like it's true that the B's are killers.
hey everyone, :welcome:
finally got my new b0x a few days ago! :D
as yall can see its runnin' @ default..
blastin' @ full load for a while the temps dont seem to go above that, courtesy of a Zalman CNPS9500..
now i've been followin' this thread, checkin' out what this baby can do, n i've decided maybe ima keep mine @ like 3.4GHz, since mine's not WC'ed nor do i wanna risk killin' it :D
now the thing is i've never done any OCing up until this point :(
so i got no clue as to how to get started :shrug:
i'll be needing some of u wizhats to gimme a few pointers :D
AI Booster? AI NOS? BIOS straight up?
comparing with the examples here the default FSB seems very low..
if possible i'd like to keep the vcore intact unless recommended otherwise..

Well, now that I've started priming at 3.51GHz and 1.4375v(BIOS)/1.125v(CPUz) they'll both crap out at roughly two hours. Sometimes a little under two, sometimes a bit over. definitely not stable enough for me either way. Good thing is that it'll run the F@H SMP client just fine. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get this chip up to 3.6 on air, but it might be a little hot. When I finally get my water setup going, who knows.Quote:

i a L721A814 and it sucks i cant overclock it for crap the most i have gotten was 3.6 but it would only load windows then blue screen like crazy so i have it running at 3.375ghz 1.55v in bios which i did with my old b3. i have it on my evga 680i sli mb should i rma my board or volt mod or do both
do both, rma it, then do the pencil mod on the new A1 rev board you get ;) :up:Quote:

What is amazing is how sensitive the temps are to ambient. One benchmark done at 84 deg F and then turned on the A/C to lower temp to 70deg F. Drops the temps precipitously. Also, lapping the CPU drops 5 deg on load.
i would change out your mobo...if your processor is a "G0", it is most likely the mobo that is holding you back.Quote:

They had new shipment. Box of 5. 3 left for sure. They are behind counter, not in cabinet. Make sure you ask. I hope these clock well...
Any advice for XBX2 and 965S Dark?
TIA...
It looks like to get the max out of your quad you will want a P35 or a 680i chipset. This is strictly based off of what i have seen posted. Nothing hands on as i'm using a P965.
I will only be using Air coolers (Zalman 9700) or (Tuniq 120).
The XBX2 are for resale. Long term stability is VERY important.
The 965S is my personal. Currently running e4300 @ 3.5 othos 8+ hours stable.
Additional advice appreciated.
L723A648 q6600 go
This is stable overclock. Can not pass orthos any higher then 3800mhz with any voltage. I think its my p5k deluxe that is holding me back. My x6800 will not run 4gig on this mobo but has no trouble with my P5wdh or my P5b. Vcore 1.58, vid 1.2375. This cpu has a 505 max stable fsb on this mobo. I find it very hard to believe that anybody on water cooling is running a q6600 go at 4gig truly stable. Im on chilled water 10c. My system is finding it hard to handle temps at 1.58 vcore. Im getting up to 66c at full load so i can imagine how hot regular water cooling system must get. Or maybe i just got a crappy hot chip?

Ace, you think youre 4.2ghz q6600 is due to using only 2 sticks of ddr2? If you added another 2, it might be unstable? I'm thinking my chip has a shot at 4.0 ghz ( if I play with the settings, @ 3.8ghz now) but is being held back by 4 sticks. Sounds logical?
i am getting tired of my 680i i would rather get a p35 board but i will wait and see after i get my rma'd board and volt mod it maybe that will get my q6600 g0 clocking highQuote:

EDIT The egg is still shipping some B3's according to comments. Just ordered a L726A from Tankguys.
Here is my X3210 batch code L723A from saveateagle.com

no, i am not anymore.:) ...actually, i was just upset because i wanted to send my B3 Q6600 and Tuniq 120 to "Spawne32" right away to test in his mega marathon heatsink roundup...so...i ordered this "G0" from TG's hoping to get it very quickly...once TG had that bad shipment, i thought there would be a huge delay in getting the B3 to Spawne32...time was critcal for Spawne32 since he had another commitment after the labor day weekend.Quote:

Spawne32 will post the results very soon...i believe by next week.
i would buy again from TG's if he would sell to me...LOL:p:
