:up:
are you say speedfan is the right temp becuase if it is i am going to push it more
Didn't try for max yet, just installed mine 1 hour ago and currently doing some baseline checks (temps and stability at stock voltage). I will try tonight for max or tomorrow and will report back...Quote:

I think you'll be limited to 3.5ish with the xbx2 :(
ncix upped the prices after the initial cut on the Canadian site, due to low supply or something.
Same thing probably happened on the US site, it was 260 and then bumped back up. Right now its on sale for $1.50 off the regular price so it was probably alot lower before.

I think what everyone fails to see is that the Tjunction is 100c for the Q6600.
Coretemp 0.95 isn't reporting the temp the way we interpret it.
Simple math substraction gives me that the 4 core temp reading form coretemp 0.95 - 15c = speedfan 4.32 core temp readings.
A little background on the accuracy of core temp readings from speedfan 4.32:
Take my E6700 for example (please see my sig)
When I was using Vista 32bit, I could opened up coretemp 0.95, Intel TAT and Speedfan 4.32 to check to see if all temp reading were reading the same. The result is they're all reporting the temp the same with only 1~2c off difference.
When I swithced to Vista 64bit, I cannot longer use the Coretemp 0.94/95 and Intel TAT becouse the softwares aren't written to support the Vista x64 but I could still use Speedfan 4.32 and the temp is still reading exactly the same as before on Vista 32bit but a few degrees cooler becouse the AC MX-1 paste has settled in.
I remember reading somewhere else Speedfan actually reads the Tjunction properly and takes it into account than Coretemp does. Speedfan basically acts exactly the same as coretemp becouse they all can read the temp from the diodode so the accuracy is the same but speedfan takes Tjunection into account so in the end watever the readings from Speedfan4.32 should be accurate.
I'll first lap my Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme becouse it's very convex and after I get everything setup I'll also post my temp/OC results.
It's good thing that all three of us have the exact same batch L723A765 - Dazog, Xilikon and I.
We should have almost identical OC / temp readings. If Dazog temp is off by that much, that means the fault must lies somwhere else and not the CPU itself. Xilikon's temp is already diff than Dazog but the same batch. I'll give in my result later tonight....
Yea i will have to pick up a new block.
Looks like the storm can't handle the 4 cores.

I think the fact that he uses a Storm is the biggest reason of the poor temps. Storms are poor on LGA775, nevertheless quad core where the jets are barely even hitting the CPU dies. If you went to a Fuzion your temps would decreases drastically.

There is a way with the new orthos but I don't know how it works. The older orthos you can select each core but you have to run four instances. Kinda a pain but it loads all four.
just use prime95 v25.X
one instance loads 4 cores... or as many as you want!
I agree, don't use a Storm with a quad. That's what I had when I first got my QX6700 and the temps were rediculous. Dropped 10c easy by switching to a D-Tek Fuzion. Everyone should check if their IHS is flat also.
I ordered up 2 Q6600's and they should be shipping out tonight and arrive in 1-2 days. Gonna test them out on an IP-35 Pro. :up:
So is the D-Tek Fusion better for Quad than the Apogee GT?
Just ordered mine. Should come tomorrow. Anyone know if the G0 stepping's Q6600 will work with the latest bios for the Gigabyte 965P S3?
I will pick up a D-Tek and report back.
i also ordered one Q6600 G0 ,should be here tomorow or in worse cenario after tomorow , then obviously i will post results here @ watercooling
:up:
Well I got my Q6600 from mwave today and its B3 Stepping:( I don't know how it is running at stock right now and Temps are really GREAT.. 26c..26c..25c..21c:D Just booted up a 1/2hr ago was wrenching on the car and my Fine Big Swingin Assed FED EX Girly showed up I was to busy checking out that Sweet Ass and could have cared less B3 ...G0 ..what ever!!!! Gimme that Booty:D
After some poking at max oc, I can boot at 3.55 GHz but got freezes and 1 BSOD at 1.4v and 1.45v. 1.5v = no boot (might be too hot). 3.5 GHz on desktop but freeze as soon as I push the cpu above idle, same at 3.45. I even did a suicide run at 9x400 for 3.6 GHz and 1.5v, got past the POST splash and froze on Windows so I dunno if it is board limitation or just plain too hot (after 3 attemps, I cannot boot anymore so I had to let the computer off for 10 mins before I can boot back in BIOS).
I'm currently running at 3.4 GHz, 1.375v (1.36v in SpeedFan) and running Prime95 for 10 mins now. Load temp in SpeedFan is 43-51C (varying), which is good.
I believe that if I go with watercooling, I will be able to run at 3.55 - 3.6 GHz without issues.
Dude thats awesome, did yours come from NCIX?Quote:

I had the same with my B3 Quad and the ASUS P5W DH (975 chipset). Couldn't get it stabe over 3300. Thought that was the limit of the CPU but I bought a P5K D and booted it right from the start at 400x9 and it was rock solid, even booted to Windoz @3.8 but temps were a little too high for air.:)Quote:

just to introduce a teeny tiny bit of reality in the situation.
on release, teh Q6600 has a WORST SITUATION of 105W's. ok in intels case its a percentage of the actual theoretical maximum based on their "average" usage numbers. but thats a constant method/percentage anyway.
but 6 months ago, the worst chips about wouldn't break the 105W, they have to be a little conservative aswell so even the worst chips are unlikely to actually hit 105W on the dot. either way, the process becomes older, they find new ways to tweak yields up a little, quality of chips increases, the wattage decreases a little further with every little trick they find. over several months they get the wattage down , after 4 months a few chips but not many actually run with 95W, but still the worst ones are at 101W's. another few months later and the worst chips are doing 95W now. so what do they do, its time to remarket and rebrand, its their low cost quad core, dell and other people want to hit the sub 100W mark to go in cheaper computers so they call the new stepping G0 and its rated at 95W now.
not all use 95W, some are still better. but its not as if, they walk in one day and stay, stop production on those B3's all using 105W's, we'll use this brand new G0 at 95W. they simply change the numbers they put on the cpu after they hit the point where no more chips were over 95W. in all likelyhood the last month or two of b3's have mostly been sub 95W aswell.
also, the next time someone does a look over here G0 results thread. stop destroying every thread. start a threads saying "where did you get your G0". and leave the show us your G0 thread, for people with G0's.
i stopped reading xtreme properly a long time ago because you click on a thread with one name, and nothing in it is relevant anymore.
i'm not a thread of track = banning cyber nazi, but jsut once in a while it would be nice to click on a thread that should give me an easy 1 page look at how G0's are doing, and not read 7 pages to find 3 freaking results.
Before everyone starts freaking out because of high temps with a storm on a Q6600... Cathar, who designed the Storm, has stated numerous times that the cooling patch on the Storm is TOO SMALL FOR QUADS.
Sheesh.
Go visit the water cooling forums once in awhile.

I'm still not sure what EXACTLY is *really* different
about the Q6600 G0 vs the B3 other than LABELING.
From Intel's PCN Document:
Ok so they changed a couple of labels on the packageQuote:
Description of Change to the Customer:
The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6600 and Intel® Xeon® processors X3220 and X3210 will undergo
the following changes for the B-3 to G-0 processor stepping conversion:
• CPUID will change from 06F7 to 06FB
• New S-specs for converting products
and in the ID codes stored in the chip. No big deal.
Ok, so they found that 99.99% of their actual partsQuote:
• The converting products will change from the 2005 Performance FMB(105W) to the 2005
Mainstream FMB (95W)
never REALLY used 105W and that was too conservative
of a maximum specified "possible" temperature, so they
lowered the specified number on the label to guarantee
that they'll all use 95W or less under whatever test
conditions they use. For all I know 99.999% of the
B3 stepping chips ALSO use less than 95W under the same
test conditions. It's not clear that they actually CHANGED
anything to make this G0 take LESS power, they may
have just changed their guarantee / test criteria.
BUT if they DID actually reduce the true "real world"
power consumption of G0 vs. B3, HOW did they do that?
You don't get less power consumption for free; you
could slow something down so that there's
less performance SOMEWHERE so that less power on
average is consumer.
They certainly didn't do a die shrink to 45nm for G0,
since that's not specified as a change, the voltages of
G0 and B3 are the same, and so on.
So is this just a reLABELING of the guaranteed temp.,
or do the G0 chips REALLY use LESS power doing the same
things as the B3s, and if so, WHY?
Ok so basically they are allowing the chip to runQuote:
• The Electrical, Mechanical and Thermal Specifications remain within the current specifications.
Intel anticipates no changes to customer platforms designed to Intel guidelines.
o Tcase for the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q6600 and Intel® Xeon® processors
X3220 and X3210 on G-0 stepping has been increased by 11 oC. Tcontrol offset will
remain the same relative to increase in Tcase which will help reduce acoustics
HOTTER on G0s because they reLABELED the max Tcase
value. Translation: they got too many reports of people's
CPUs hitting the thermal limit and shutting down, and/or
they got too many complaints of PCs that were too noise
with the CPU fan running at 100% 'always' because the
Tcase under load was near the old 'limit'. So they said
"ahh let it run hotter and quieter, it won't change much
the number of CPUs that burn out under warranty, but
it'll let us sell a lot more because they don't sound like
rocket engines and trigger too many temperature warnings".
Ok so if your poorly ventilated micro-ATX was aboutQuote:
Customer Impact of Change and Recommended Action:
Minimal re-qualification and/or validation is expected for the G-0 stepping conversion due to no feature set
changes between the B-3 and G-0 steppings. Thermal qualification may be required due to increase in
Tcase.
to melt down before, it'll be worse now because they
let the CPU fan spin slower and the CPU get hotter.
This has nothing necessarily to do with any REAL
electrical change between G0 and B3.
Ok why the heck would it need a BIOS update, REALLY?Quote:
The Intel® Core™2 Quad desktop processors Q6600 and Intel® Xeon® processors X3220 and
X3210 G-0 stepping will require a BIOS update.
Presumably BIOSes ALL know how to read
Tcase MAX, Tcontrol FAN, CPU ID, etc. out of ANY
similar Intel Core 2 DUO/QUAD processor, and though
the numbers stored for those values changed slightly,
they say NOTHING else of a FUNCTIONAL electrical /
thermal nature changed with G0 stepping.
The voltage did not change, the frequency did not change,
it has no new 'features' or instructions.....
So it seems confusing why you'd NEED a BIOS change;
even the "GENUINE INTEL Q6600 G0" or whatever
processor model description ID string is hard-coded
into the CPUID instruction text (as far as I recall),
so even just to display the text identification of what
your CPU is, the BIOS would need to do NOTHING
new compared to the way ANY other Intel Core2
DUO/QUAD processor has always worked.
So enlighten me, EMPIRICALLY is there any
PERFORMANCE difference or
ACTUAL RUNNING TEMPERATURE difference between
B3 and G0 Q6600 when the
Vcore / Frequency / CPU fan speed / program running
is forced to be the same in a fair test?
Sounds like they changed NOTHING useful, or if they did,
they MIGHT have lessened the ACTUAL power/temperature,
and IF they DID it, I have yet to see a good explanation
of HOW and IF there were any performance sacrifices to
do that.
Sure you could find some manufacturing process change
that might get you 10% better thermal/electrical efficiency
by using a lower resistivity metal or better quality silicon
or lower loss dielectric or whatever, but since the
HighK dielectric and 45nm and other major fab. process
related changes are only happening for PENRYN et. al.
what's the deal with THIS change, really?
you will find that the binning voltage was reducedQuote:

They do seem like cooler running "b"s. And not all of them overclocked well. I caved, I have one coming from NCIX & a pre-order stil from tankguys. If the fNCIX batch doesn't scale well maybe the Tankguys batch will.
lol all this hype and they might not be any better then B3..although just seeing a few bencies cant exaclty make this a point just yet.
My order with ncix isnt going through for some reason. I hit cancel, after i noticed i ordered through canandian lol. So i went to NCIXUS, but shipping was the same. I'll try it again. i hope they take VISA!
Per synergy post, the reason why some of the B3s in this thread showing temps lower than G0s is because the VID has been lowered when these chips were binned with B3 stepping.... hence the coretemp showing lower voltage and as result lower voltage will almost always produce lower temperature compared to the same scenario with higher voltage.... am i right?
If I am right then B3 or G0, who cares...
p.s. strange|ife tell us if you end up getting G0 or B3 just cause Im curious what ncix is doing.... they are unofficially saying they have all stock as G0... just pm the guy in these forums from ncix.. thats what he told me..
time will tell
BUT i still think G0 will clock higher on same voltage or temps by a few 100 MHz
best Q6600 CPUs couldn't do what some of the ES CPUs showed
there have been many reports on the forums of people get G0's as well as within this thread.Quote:

I guess I don't TOTALLY understand how VID works in
the Core2 lineup.
AFAIK there's a VID/FID table of certain divisors that say
that at each SpeedStep or ACPI performance level
the processor should run with X voltage and F frequency.
When you're running at MAXIMUM STOCK performance
the frequency will be whatever max stock frequency is
for your model of CPU, and the VID will be the maximum
it'll be for any defined state.
BUT didn't they start making the ACTUAL voltage for
EACH INDIVIDUAL CPU different within some allowed
range? I recall that AMD did that a while back.
I recall that INTEL made the MAX CASE TEMP. value
stored in the CPU *different* for *each* CPU based
on their production testing if I understand that right.
So didn't they also start making the VID change slightly
for each CPU they make depending on testing at that
time also?
Also what ELSE does VID determine except for VCORE?
If you go into your motherboard's BIOS and instead
of using AUTO you manually FORCE VCORE=1.40
and manually FORCE FSB=390MHz or
whatever, isn't it essentially ignoring VID and FID
totally at that point?
Or does VID *also* control other voltages besides VCORE
e.g. some kind of I/O power supply voltage or whatever
else that the VRM might still be supplying at values
depending on VID in the table corresponding to
"full power" speed step even when you've manually
overridden VCORE?
So if I'm guessing right (please correct me if I'm wrong!),
then VID listed in the software just doesn't matter
if you've set VCORE manually?
Also IF VID is actually potentially different for each
and every CPU out there, do we typically see different
values of VID even for peoples different chips of the
same stepping? e.g. do ALL the B3 chips out there have
the SAME VID/FID table or not?
It seems like a lower VID table entry for any given
FID could just mean "yes, we realize that 99.999% of
all CPUs we make can overclock at least 10% on stock
voltage, and conversely they can mostly all run at
stock speed if they're undervolted by 10%, so we'll
just lower the VID voltage by a few percent for
any given FID step and guarantee that they'll work
by quality control so that everyone can save some
noise/power". In that case, there may be no real technical
engineering change that MADE the chip run faster at
lower power, because in fact we all know that they could
be undervolted/overclocked at least a little even with B3.

we have also seen that lower VID chips tend to overclock better too (not always) but generally they do

Intel® Core™2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor QX6000Δ Sequence and Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6000Δ Sequence Specification Update – on 65 nm Process in the 775-land LGA Package supporting Intel® 64 architecture and Intel® Virtualization Technology±
http://www.intel.com/design/processo...pdt/315593.htm
I was just looking at Intel's ERRATA / Specification Update
page which was just updated within the past 2 days.
Now they have a document that compared G0 and B3
Q6600 steppings.
A few known and documented bugs that affected
B3 are now FIXED in G0.
IN AT LEAST ONE DOCUMENTED CASE, HOWEVER,
THERE'S A BUG IN G0 CPUS THAT DID *NOT* EXIST
IN B3 CPUS, THOUGH.
Overall I'd say that the G0 is an improvement over B3
based on the errata changes, though, and this also
confirms that they've done somewhat useful engineering
changes in G0.
How many of those changes are just in the
downloadable microcode, and how many are hardware
changes, I cannot say.
Ncixhas been shipping out G0 steppings
Anyone using a evga 680i AR with G0? I know the AR revision has issue with quad cores and was curious as to whether any of the more recent bios updates have aided this. As far as I know, it is a hardware issue. I have a G0 chip here but am not going to go to the trouble of using it if my motherboard doesn't allow me to clock it high. ( I asked evga if they'll trade mine in for a T1 revision which supposed has the quad issues ironed out; awaiting their response )
Still much rather have a E6600 @ 3.6 than a Q6600 @ 2.4. If I can't use it, I'll sell it and tough it out until Penryn.
when i get my q6600 should i go for higher fsb or lower fsb with higher multipler
Yep there it is, G0 ftw!Quote:

^hecktic, can you explain why AR is better than T1? Haven't been on the EVGA forums in a while, but that's the first time I've heard that. Please PM me if you don't want go off topic.

I played around with the site a Canada site and the US site. During the checkout process they take you to the same place to checkout. So I guess it does not matter, the prices were the same on both sites when I ordered.
So then that would mean they ship out of the same physical location making the shipping cost the same?Quote:

This was using p30 bios. 445 X 8 4-4-4-12 1T 18-20-5-8-5 is 3DMark 06 Stable. I got much better results using the DFI P965-S Dark. 450 X 8 or 400 X 9 cas3 would run 3DMark06, 32Mb PI, & OCCT. The eVGA is much better than the Abit IN9 32 Max, but I think I'm gonna pair my cpu with the DFI 680i.
From my understandment, Yes. I thought I read somewhere on these or hardforums that they are shipping from the same location.Quote:
