Q6600 owners... what is your VID?

Here mine....

It does
4.0Ghz http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=223277

G0 L724a760
Vid = 1.2875v

G0 L723A825
Vid = 1.2625

Currently at 3.6 with 1.42vcore.

Graysky, have you found any correlation between low vs high vid and overclockability? I posted in another thread that I don't think it matters. Just curious of what you have found.

G0, 1.3125 - Just started it tonight, currently at 9 x 400

Now 9 x 445 at 1.42v.

G0 L724a784 7/13/2007
Vid = 1.2875v

:)

Q6600 G0 VID is 1.3 on the dot.

Q6600 G0 VID 1.275 Batch L721A814

We should create a working database of VID's and batches, and peoples voltages needed for the VIDs for stable with specific OC's....

Would be a big help in determining if there really is any correlation concerning OC headroom/temps, or if it only pertains to stock 266FSBx(multi) for whatever stock clock.

I don't have enough useful data to draw a conclusion. What is your cooling and what are your load temps?

Is that stable to 6+ hours of 2x orthos or prime 95 v25? What is your cooling and load temps @ 9x400? and @ 9x445?

I know this has only been running a few minutes, but temps are about the same as at 3.6. Just kicked it up a notch, lets see how it will do. Cooling with an ultra 120 extreme and panaflo fan. It's cooler here today, ambient about 70f.

in addition to the one I post in 1st page, here are my other 3

G0 - Batch #: L723A795
VID: 1.2250

B3 - Batch#: L644G155
VID: 1.2375

B3 - Batch#: lost the box
VID: 1.3000


I'm happy with all 4. It seems like I always end up with a low VID cpu.

1.3000 is the highest I got out of all C2D and quads I've owned.

Here left me VID 1.2750.

Updated the first post of the thread with the data collected (182 replies now)... this has turned into a nice little thread :)

what temps should a q6600 overclocker start to get worried about under full load ?

what im saying is when im overclocking my chip and doing a prime what should i make sure the temps stay under ?

i would like to try run my chip at 3.2 ghz 24/7 but dont know what these chips temps are capable of as my old rig was amd and over 62c was getting up there

Well, that's a bit off topic but I'll answer it in here. In the future, please start a new thread when your topic is pretty dissimilar from the one in which you're posting.

Depends, B3's 62 °C and G0's 71 °C (Intel specs for the middle of the IHS temp which unfortunately doesn't exist; C2Qs only have coretemp DTS). Some say you can add 15 °C to those Intel numbers but I'm just not sure about that. I have a B3 and like to keep the temps under 63 °C or so but that's just my personal redline.

thanks for the info champ :)

G0 L719B246
Vid 1.275

Updated the first post of the thread with the data collected (208 replies now)...

Okay all, this will be the final update; please don't post new VID data.

I'm not totally sure the integrity of the data collected is that high. What I mean by that is I have read several reports of different reported VIDs for the same chip on different boards. I have also read about the VID changing based on the speedstep state and other factors.

I started this thread hoping to see some sort of correlation between VID magnitude and vcore @ a given o/c level. I have received mixed reports on this front as well. I think the bottom line is there isn't a correlation between VID and overclockibility.

Since you guys took the time to reply to the post, the least I can do is update the data for the last time:

Replies for B3: 102
Replies for G0: 158
Total replies: 260 (a great response!)

I updated the first post of the thread with the new histograms.

Thanks to all who replied.

Here are my results. At Stock Speeds.
Stepping: G0
VID: 1.0375v
Batch# ?

(CoreTemp reads the Q6600 as a Xeon)

P.s.: This is just posted to get some feesback on why my VID is so low...
I'm NOT asking to be added to the charts :)

Like I said dude, I don't think your VID has any real meaning. I wouldn't give it a 2nd though.
