Thanks :D
I'd have to agree, nothing is better for quads :yepp:

very nice and very cool !!! :)
kicking a q6600 around still, i love it. I got two i've been playing with for years, unfortunately i only have one stage for cooling, and no dewar.
Nice going!
Thats a great cpu,
Interesting to see what you can do when colder and only 2 cores.
Mine only can touch 4.15 GH with TRUX !!

Hehehe 4:20
very nice clock for a quad. gotta love the time in the SS as well, i think that had something to do with it :p
OH GOD !!!! Send me that Q6600 now ! :D
Those are some impressive results man, im serious (well, i thinked you guessed it).
Anyways, i wanted to tell mine is a 1.325v VID one... not very lucky i have to admit. It still does 9x400=3600Mhz with 1.5v (havent tried higher with my WaterCooling system). I'm disapointed i couldnt reach 4gigs but now you made me even more disapointed ! thanks :p:
I just had one question : what is your VID and your BATCH ? I'm very curious
Im looking forward for the next step in OC, good luck, cheers
Awesome mate!!!
Even better with a damaged board at that! Go Gigabyte!!!
Keep me updated with your Ln2 results!
Thanks everyone, the VID is 1.2375v, however it does 0.95vcore @ stock GHz. The batch number is L747A437.
that is actually one of the first G0 (SLACR) steps, isnt it ? i found out that from the B3, all G0 were great, but by the time, they became worse. Probably because intel left the quality aside and knew that the Q6600 had a good image and people would buy one... a shame
Fair play lads. That's some impressive overclocking.
Guys come on, how come you all got awsome quad cores when mine needs 1.5v to reach 3.6ghz under damn water ??? :eek: i really aint lucky, and my VID is awful :(
Mine is in the newer packaging, with the batch : L811B323 (VID = 1.325v)
my brother has one in the older packaging, batch : L738B427 (Vid = 1.278 or something like that).
Do you think his Q6600 overclocks well ? :P i'm curious to find out (he doesnt overclock so i could change my Q6600 against his) :) thanks for reply
mine have 1,20VID :D

Very nice :up:
What cooling and vcore?
65 nm lives!! Excellent job with the Q6600! That's one heck of an overclock. :up:
^^fatguy1992^^ wow.... you've got a real amazing stuff ..man >>>> bring it to me and i'll never ever refuse it ....:D
nice start ;)
on ln2 you can expect about 570MHz FSB ;)
Thanks :)
All going well it will be under LN2 within the next two weeks :D
well keep it up, and post news as soon as you're done ! :D i'm extremely curious
Don't worry I will :D
I'll have 3 mobo's to test it on, UD3R, RE and P5K Deluxe :)
Curious what fsb you can hit with the GB. The enabled cores are not that interesting because that depends only on the cpu and not the board..try 2 or one..the fsb is impressive enough for that old quad :)
