Seems so...I PM'd him and he wrote me back saying he'd try to do better...that was almost two months ago!:shakes:Quote:

Here are the stats.
1) Post your CPU model & Core revision (B3 or G0)
Q6600 G0
2) Week (L726A...ect) FPO batch #
L741A
3) CPU-Z Validation
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=317823
4) Screen shot of it running at that speed (orthos, prime95..ect) 100% load
I've emailed them to you
5) Cooling being used
Thermalright 120 extreme
6) Voltage
1.528
7) Motherboard
EVGA 680i A1
Nothing too amazing, but:
Q6600 B3
Batch: L722A471
3.51 Ghz (9x390)
Asus P5E x38 motherboard (502 BIOS)
vCore: 1.6v BIOS, 1.496v load (Everest/CPU-Z)
Water cooled (D-Tek FuZion on an MCR320 along with an 8800GTX)
Prime95 stable (runs WCG 12+ hours a day, full load on all cores)

Ya watercooling setup is asking for a bigger or extra rad I think Karl...
Yeah unfortunatly there isn't really too much I can do about that. Isn't enough room to fit another rad (aside from MAYBE an MCR120), and upgrading to a PA120.3 isn't worthwhile. Maybe some time later this year if/when I get two of ATI's new R700 GPUs I might go dual-loop in a new case or something.

got my q6600 installed and running @ 3.6Ghz at 1.33V, will keep testing to find the max oc. just wondering whats the max volt for 24/7 with watercooling?
My batch also did 3.6GHz at 1.33v :)Quote:

Every CPU is different, I'd say, the Kentsfield showed to be a robust chip, we have now enough time to say it. No deterioration like the 45nm. So, pump it until your water can't give you better than 65-68°C on the cores while loading with small FFT the 4 cores. There's your limit. Usually they will top at 3.8GHz, if you're lucky, 3.9-4GHz (hey, must be very very very lucky)
Intel specs for the Kentsfield are 1.50v. With people using loadline calibration and vdroop mods, account for overshooting voltage too. So, 1.45v should be really an extremely safe limit. 1.5-1.55v, if temperatures are within range, you should run fine for some years, maybe
Specs in sig :)
thanks for the reply Jonny, I have tried 1.5v @ 4Ghz but cant prime it as my loop gets really hot (68°C under full load), im upgrading my radiator next week and lap the IHS, hope i can get a better result ;)
Q6600@4.1ghz(9x456) 1.58v (L745A817/vid 1.225)

Wow....nearly 40,000 views of this thread......I had no idea it was still being looked at :slap:
I will keep on top of this for you folks as long as there is interest in it and it's needed. :)
I think with the 9450 being 8x limited, the q6600 is still the way to go at least for my $$

The Q9450 in a X38 or P35 chipset should do well. But for SLI users that are limited to Nvidia chipsets that can't really lean on the FSB with a quad core, the Q6600 is still the better bet for overclockers. The 8x multi of the Q9450 really hurts it on Nvidia chipsets :(
The best I could do with a Q9450 on my board is 475Mhz FSB (3.8Ghz). It's really frustrating when you know that the chip has plenty more in the tank, but your board simply cannot push your chip.
