Q6600 ES G0
Watercooling
3,6 GHz
1,5 hours prime
http://pics.mwirths.de/pics/thumb/q6600_3600.jpg
i have a little question.
Im about to own either the forthcoming E6850 or the Q6600. The Q6600 seems better imo, because i will be greatly able to run 3ds max and most of games, basically almost as the E6850(in the games).
But i dunno if my motherboard is a great quad overclocker. I have the asus striker extreme and some Gskill 4-4-3-5 memories.
Maybe this is a great combo for overclocking this quad model?
Im looking for 24/7 3.6 - 3.7 ghz, dunno if its any possible with Q6600.
Any tips?
hmm... Does that say that your cpu temp is 60C? Thought the G0's would run cooler, doesn't seem to have changed.Quote:

are the G0s available for purchase already or are you euros getting hooked up?
Nope, we are getting screwed over here. The only one I can get is the B3. I'm hoping that the G0 will be available july 21st. My current PC is going downhill fast so I really need this thing.Quote:

Anyone know if the G0's will hit North America on July 22nd when the price drop hits, if not when?
Also, I have a Gigabyte S3 965p mobo, how is it for quad overclocking?
I remember someone saying the G0 will be available a few days before or on the day of the price drops. But the Intel website was no help to me. I couldn't find anything there, not even any specs. It's as if it doesn't even existQuote:

@Moe, I think we need to wait a while longer... but fore sure it's out there.
you need to inform on a regular basis. I'm informing weekly at random retailer.
BTW hi there, been watching you guys on XS for some time now..
first post ... noobylicious :)
Just as something thats happened to me, after many many hours using Orthos on my E6600, 10 or 12 hours stable, I put Boinc on to start folding and I'd be damned if it didnt just crash out within 30 seconds of me loading the program...Quote:

I dont like wasting CPU time or dropping work units so I like to know its running ok :)
Sorry thats just my 2p worth :) But have also been looking at the Q6600, seems very cheap for a quad and I'm tempted :D Trying to get the most from my E6600 first :)
Today the q6600 got 100 euro's cheaper. thats about $135. Right now you'd have to fork over 350 euro's, $475. In a few weeks they will knock off another 100 :) Thats when i'll buy it. Even if it's the B3. There's no way I can wait any longer than that.
Over here in the UK, they are currently around the £235 mark....
that's almost exactly 350 euro's. No price difference at all. I had expected a slight difference.Quote:

temps idle at 39c with coretemp with good room temp as well with an open case, and loads at around 65-70c......the zalman can handle up to 1.38v with this cpu, anything above it gets too warm for me to even test, this cpu can do 3.3 with the zalman with 1.36v but i kept it at a lower voltage because summer is just burning up my cpu, and for us overclockers thats not too great.....but overall it performs the same as my old tuniq tower 120.
Thanks. The idle temp is great. The load temp is perhaps a little on the high side though. Im not used to temps over 60. I'm always afraid i'm gonna fry my cpu. I think I already damaged my current cpu. Luckely I'll have a new one in a month.

A local retailer told me this intel.
I guess we need to wait some longer :mad:
I can't wait that long. This heap of junk is almost dead. I'm buying it as soon as the price drops in less than 2 weeks. I already bought my memory because prices are expected to rise again.Quote:

I have booted @ 3730 and ran Super PI and a few other apps but an Idle temp of 45 deg is probably going to top out at 75 deg+ and that's too high for me. I have had no troubles clocking the B3 stepping chip so far with my current board. I am sure it will go higher but with my cooling it would just be frustrating to know I can't use it.:)Quote:

Do retail chips that are non G0 have any problem running 370*9?
I want at least 3.33 ghz. And what vcore and temp am I looking at here to achieve this speed?
That's gonna depend alot on cooling. I had no trouble getting 3303 Mhz 12 hours prime/orthos stable with 1.4v set in bios, 1.36v @ load. It easily does benches @ 3.6Ghz with 1.47v set in bios 1.42v @ load but is not prime stable due to heat.Quote:

I would have went for the E6850 if it was topping out around 4.6GHZ and I could get 4.2GHZ 24/7 stable :D
man i need a G0 stepping, maybe ebay mine and get a G0 stepping.
If anyone here is still wondering how hot the cpu can get before possible damage, go here: http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm
That's really useful, thanks :) Seems the CPUs are a lot more resilient when it comes to voltage than heat.Quote:

First ignore that table, those temps are Intel specs - I for one won't be using these CPUs in 3 years time.Quote:

Q6600s can pass Prime95 up to around high 80C's. I have had a system pass overnight runs that nudged 90C, but anything above that forget it.
They will throttle automatically before killing themselves, I am happy to run them up to 80-90C on Prime95, which means load temps in the real world of up to 70-80C.
Look at the rest of the thread - 3.6GHz is about the limit on air. My 3 systems are remarkably uniform - they top out at 3.5 to 3.56 GHz with the Ultra-120 Extreme.
PS- all temps are coretemp.
The ultra 120 had disappointing results in comparison to the big typhoon vx. Check this review. They used the same antec case.Quote:

The ultra 120 performs worse than the big typhoon VX.
And I really don't want to run my cpu that hot. It has to last me for atleast a year to a year and a half. With those temps the lifespan would rapidly decrease. I'm overclocking my current AMD and that thing is now completely messed up and its only little over a year old. Eventhough I did nothing special. AMD has very little headroom for overclocking in my experience. I just don't want to take too big a risk when it comes to temperatures. And watercooling is just a little too expensive for me right now.
There are two models of the Ultra 120 tho and I think the Ultra 120 Extreme drops the temps a bit further doesnt it??
That I don't knowQuote:

Hope that's of some use :) Was looking at buying one, but decided to try Water cooling and see what happens :D
I am talking about the Ultra-120 Extreme, which gave me an average of 15C better load temps than the Ultra-120 original. They are NOT the same product. And the original Ultra-120 gave me about 20C better results than the Big Typhoon they replaced.Quote:

I agree with you about AMD - but Core 2 duo and quad are incredibly robust. I have been running 50% overclocks from the day Core Duo came out, and none have lost a MHz of overclock over time. I won't talk you into breaking your hardware, but running cooler will certainly minimise that, so I would ditch the Typhoon.
3.45 is achievable on very safe voltages on Q6600s.
Yes it does;)
So did X-bit labs
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...x_5.html#sect0
Here the typhoon wins again. Even at it's lowest speed. The extreme does win on load though. And its tested on a Q6600 :) Perfect test. When looking for the maximum possible overclock the ultra 120 extreme won. But I'm only lokking for 3.2Ghz, nothing more.
In the end they're both great coolers. But I'm sticking with the Big Typhoon VX.
The performance of the ultra 120 extreme does depend on what coolers you buy for it as it doesn't come with any in the box.
I just checked a few stores and as it turns out, I can't even get the ultra 120 extreme. Even the typhoon is hard to get, I only found one store that sells it. Newegg is not an option for me as they don't ship overseas.
On a side note, I just received my RAM. 4 x 1GB OCZ PC6400 5-5-5-12 Special Ops Edition :D
They're much smaller than I thought they would be. Or maybe thats just me. The Woodland camo looks really cool.
Also, the Q6600 dropped in price again to 293 euro's ($404). Just one more week untill the next pricedrop :)
EDIT: I found an even better one. Scythe Infinity. Also comes standard with a 120mm fan. Its the most silent and the best performing cooler out there. And this oneI can get:) Its also 4 bucks cheaper :)
http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...dup/page16.asp
AAAAAAW Crap! :confused: I just found one on X-bit labs that states the typhoon is better:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo...scythe_11.html
I hate this.
I'll just go with the Typhoon. I'll lap it to sqeeze out an extra 2 degrees celsius. It's base isn't perfect. The Typhoon is also smaller and lighter. The infinity is MASSIVE!. I'm just so sick of all the contradicting test results.

Ambient room temperature is 24.9 to 25.1C measured with a digital thermometre; system temp is where the hottest place in my room. Ambient room temp is always 1~2C below it.

Hello guys, i know this is just a Q6600 overlclock thread, but maybe someone can help me here.
I need some tips on how to set up the DFI NF680i LT bios for Q6600, i would like to run it at 400x8=3.2 ghz with ram 1:1, just have some problems finding the best balance between voltages and gref and so on.
Can anyone with the same configuration write me down his recommended settings for that config? (i cannot find out hot to set the multiplayer @ 8x)
Atm my orthos, prime and 3dmark2006 5x loop stable config is the following:
http://www.falco-web.it/devilmc/quad.jpg
L640F312s B3
Not my highest Oc for the cpu but time to start to see how hard i can keep it stable..Highest Oc for this cpu is 4300 Mhz

there's no guarantee that someone elses settings will function the same on your hardware. You can always try though.
the ultra-120 extreme is in stock at xoxide. i just ordered one. it is east coast too for faster shipping to us in these parts.

max temps are fine at up tp 80-85c at 100% load....ive had mine running prime for hours at 80c with no problems.
thats what i figured, considering that its 20c away from throttling...and even if it gets to that point, your cpu knows to lower the speed to adjust to a more reasonable temperature...Quote:

i still havent seen an app get my cores hot like small fft's.
anybody know what does?
for me no game has even gotten one core close to the temps of prime, dvd encoding or converting mass raw files in cs3 either.

Thanks. Btw, did you try 400x9? It should be a little easier on the CPU and you might be able to use less vcore.
I wont run like this 24/7, something around 3ghz@1.38 is good for me. As for 400x9, in all the bench's I ran, this combo killed it...so thats why i went that route....I'm gonna try to bring the volts down over the next while....see what happens.
G0 is different since the errata has changed, some bugs fixed, some bugs added. Apparently some transistors were moved around to spread the heat a little more evenly, removing some hot spots.
Whether overclockabiliy is actually different is up for debate, but it is a different core, albeit only with a few minor changes. Don't forget CPUs, like many things are produced on a production line - so changing the core to a slightly different design can be done with minimal disruption. Update the machines with the new layout, and let them do the rest.
Ive got mine (g0),just came in today, up to 3.5ghz on 1.33v after vdroop on ip-35 pro. Its hovering around 55-57C on abits uguru temp monitor. Core temp seems to crash my computer, even at stock settings..
been priming stable for a while now.
I need to work on my memory. Its gskill pc-6400 and it fails prime anywhere past like 900mhz... I have it at 2.25v, I am scared to take it higher though people are reporting 1100mhz at like 2.35v.
