thanks mate.
I woke up this morning and it was -5c out so I figured I might aswell make a few runs. Blowin' a blizzard here atm which always helps.

TRUE is here,
3 Hours Prime stable @ 3.65GHz, hits 71c max.
Only trouble is I need 1.53v for this ..
Idle @ 33c
Can i get away with it :p: Intel claims 1.55v is max safe voltage. I've also heard a guy killed a chip with 1.6v
I think I have a duff chip, I need at least 1.65V just to BOOT at 4GHz, let alone prime :p:
Passive, although I had a 120 over the NB whilst i was out last
I think the true will give you lower load temps over the freezer, which should make a small dif. Which true is it you got...A or B? I have the A with 4 heatpipes. If you have the newer B revision then all the better.
Have you increased your cpu pll, fsb termination (cpu vtt) or NB voltage at all?
TRUE Black 120 is what I have, Not sure how many heatpipes there are, either 6 or 12, Can't see underneath, theres 6 Full pipes on top and 6 half pipes.
All NB / CPU PLL, MCH voltages are set to 'Auto' Have tried manually setting them today using a post from this thread but the system wouldn't boot.
EDIT: 6 Pipes

VID 1.28
vcore: 1.37v (bios)
Stable at 3400mhz
But damn it gets hot when IBT is on. Having a s1283 (noctua 120mm 1200rpm) on it with the thru bolt kit and it hits around 80´C (well the 2 hottest cores) in IBT, while gaming it wont get above 60'C so I guess its safe.
Yeah the 6 pipes will make a difference over the 4 I have, should do anyway.
Bit strange with the voltage preventing you from booting. A small increase in ALL voltages even should'nt do that. What exactly happened? You left cpu on the vcore you already have set for 3700mhz, then increased the NB/CPU PLL and MCH voltages by their smallest increment and your machine failed to boot? If so then you have serious issues with heat........or a faulty cpu/mb :(
im sitting at 3.8 vcore 1.58 any less vcore it fails in prime 95 wish i cud get to 4ghz but no go. hello kell5
hey morning buddy :wave::)
being able to prime at 3.8ghz with 1.58v is pretty decent mate. If all your other voltages are at stock or auto then that would explain that it fails prime any higher.
to get above 3.8ghz stable myself I need to raise my NB from stock to 1.40v and cpu pll from stock to 1.60v.
Increased voltage on everything apart from the CPU & RAM, they are at 1.53 & 2v
Save settings, system reboots out of BIOS, usually on a standard boot the system double boots and then comes to life.
With above settings it just boots and stops over and over for about 4 times untill the bios resets itself :shrug:
I'll try again in about an hour, Just finishing a download :)
I think I have similar problem with you, my Q6600 need 1,5v to reach 3600mhz and the load temperature is 70ºC on TRUE [Dual fan], have tried using different mainboard and I came to conclusion that my chip is really sucks. :down:
Right now I'm using Asus P5Q pro, and this is my setting,

okay, camera charged so here's my bios.
air temp -1c. IDLE temp 17c-20c across all cores. FULL-LOAD temp 59c.
this setup just keeps giving :yepp::up:
nice numbers KELL5!
I just spent the last couple hours messing with my q6600, and I think i'm stable at 460 x 8 = 3684MHz. According to CPUZ, my Vcore is at 1.464-1.472ish. The motherboard is a cheapo ASrock one so I think that might be part of my limiting factor. I was able to POST as high as 3.8 but my test install of windows 7 would bsod at bootup. Memory is running 1:1 at 6-6-6-18 and I wish I could get it down to 5-5-5-15, but I had tried it earlier and it was causing reboots I think. I'm running SuperPi right now with no problems, so I hope she's stable.
Here are the specs:
Q6600 @ 3.684 (460x8)
ASRock P45XE-WiFiN
G.Skill DDR2-1066 (Running @ 460MHz, 6-6-6-15)
Xigmatek HDT-S1283 HSF
Samsung HD753LJ 750GB HDD
Coolmax CUG-700B 700W PSU
Liteon 20x DVD
Apevia X-Jupiter G-Type Case
SuperPi results so far:
1M: 14.209s
32M: 14m 21.987s
EDIT - I spoke too soon. BSOD'd during the 1024M of wPrime. I think just a tad bump on the vCore and I should be good.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks! :)
Guys , how good are the latest Q6600s ?
I'v been doing a decent bit of OC'ing on my Q6600 since I got my Phase Change cooler :D
3.6GHz on 1.2v :eek:

It was stable enough to run 3D benchmarks, games and I ran prime for a few min but I stopped cause it was boring :p:

ME WANTS THAT CHIP :shocked:
Pretty damn sweet results there!
Thanks :)
Pll/vtt?
There in the screenshots, look at easy tune 6 :)
does anyone run it on a DFI JR p45?
I'm new to its BIOS, ex-asus user........
