Here is my Q6600 which has been a headache can't get it stable at anything higher than 3.7ghz, it has a VID of 1.225 so I don't know. Did 3.6ghz @ 1.328 vcore 24/7 stable.

your lucky i wish i could get 3.6 stable but its not a big deal to me but I sitll would like to say I got it stable up to 3.8 or something like that
Mines plenty fast 3.36ghz anymore is just too much heat especially in summer here at least on air cooling. 3.6Ghz is just too much heat on air cooling for most chips, so wouldn't worry about it too much.
Mine hates 3.6ghz too... stuck at 3.5, 1.44V.
Wow meth, you're lurking here too?
I got a Q6600 too, high vid so I'm selling it asap lol.
Newer G0's are a pain.
edit: meth lol you got 10 posts here. damn. 20k+ in nvnews
I'm at mines fsb wall, which is 481MHz FSB. Damn shame too cause I can only run 3.37ghz on 7x multi. 8x multi is completely impossible with the clock speed resulting from it.
I got the same "dud" later batch chip as you, could only manage 3.4GHz @1.4v vcore (high temps), 3.2GHz needed 1.3v temps at full load running Intel Burn Test 61C~, Prime95 full load <50C~.
3.6GHz on air seems almost impossible with this chip needing above 1.5v and a top notch water cooling setup.
Hi!
I'm new on this forum so be gentle. ;)
I tried to overclock my Q6600 G0 (@3,9GHz 24/7, 1,44V) yesterday. I was using watercooling and the cooling was Provided By Finland. Here are some results:

http://koti.mbnet.fi/lauri_lr/kuvat/q6600suppa8m.JPG
I'm surprised that CPU ran successfully even 8M -test. I think I have to raise cpu freq and test just 1M ;)
Mem was @ 1150MHz 5.5.5.15. so it is easy to make better score @ SuperPi. Yesterday I just tried that how fast will this CPU go when I feed it with some voltage.
welcome lauri, nice results :up:
whats the vid of your Q6600? What's your load temps at 4.3ghz?
I've never given more than 1.630v (bios) 1.610v (real)......yet. Got the TRUE on here atm since I need a new waterblock :(
You can also use HYPER Pi from here http://discussions.hardwarecentral.c...d.php?t=179504 which will run 4x instances of Pi for you automatically, you decide 1M-32M as usual :)
^^ not really required....just for fun if you like Pi :)
Thanks :)
VID is 1,225V
Load temp was about 35°C. The trick is that I opened window for 10 minutes to make water colder. This was the situtation before starting OC'ing. There was -25°C out there :D
Thanks for the HYPER Pi, I believe it's going to be useful :yepp:
My watercooling loop:
Swiftech Apogee GTX (lapped), Swiftech MCP655-B, Alphacool 360mm rad with two Noctuas and one Nexus real silent.
im sitting at 3.8 1.55vcore all is well ip35-e board
Looks like I was lucky when I got this chip :)
I'm waiting for tomorrow.. If it's cold enough, I'll try to reach 4,4GHz (suicide shot) :rocker:
Very nice work lauri_lr :clap:
What PLL and VTT did u use?
That's impressive indeed, you got a superb sample that rivals 45nm quads!
I am running the Q6600 with 1.3 vid with Asus P5Q Pro (ket's m1501 bios), all I've done for 3.6ghz is raise vcore (1.45ish) and nb 1.2
everything else is on auto.... anyone can give me some hints/help for other settings to maybe lower vcore down a little? GTL? PLL/VTT?
I think this is not bad at all :)
http://s61.radikal.ru/i171/0901/d8/56df00ac26a5.jpg
My cooler is BigTyphoon. I set 1,2V for vNB which doesn't have a blower...
P.S. This is the same as with the better stable result of Phenom II 940 :(
It took me couple of tries but I finally got my G0 Q6600 back up to 3.6. I'm running it on air and had the CPU at 1.425v but I had to crank it up to 1.45v. I also had to crank up the NB to 1.55 from AUTO. It's amazing how running four sticks of RAMs, instead of two, can completely screw you over. :mad: It was a good learning experience though. :up: Once I get my WC setup up and running I'm going to see about tweaking those numbers though.
So my Striker Extreme is on its last breath here an I ordered a 750i FTW because it was only $139 from newegg after rebate. What kind of stable cpu speed can I expect from it on my Q6600 GO? If I can't get up to 3.6 within a couple days, I'm gonna put the new 750iFTW in my other Q6600B3 machine to replace its 680i and then look for yet another mobo for the Q6600GO. Probably a P5Q something or other. Open to suggestions, though.
From what I'v heard the 750i FTW can do 3.6GHz, but it has trouble doing any higher.
Here you go my 1.325v stable 3.6g GO Q6600, had some time to play with it today and see if I could do better. Doesn't need to much for volts, still more than I'd like to use for 24/7 use though.
http://members.cox.net/chewxs/4124%2...01m%20done.JPG
chew*, nice results there. First I looked that you are playing when Q6600 is 4124MHz...
I wish I could hit 4GHz but I had mine sitting at 3.5 and lowered it to 3.2 to see how high I can go on stock volts. So far so good, so I may see if I can get 3.3 or 3.4 on stock and then just leave it because it is stil plenty fast for me at 3.2 at 1.32v
4,1GHz 3DMark-stable. http://service.futuremark.com/result...eResultType=14
No crashes, stable for several 3DMark runs. Gotta try more later :)
Allright, switched out my striker ex for the 750i ftw. Forgot to uninstall the striker drivers before doing so, can't seem to boot into safe mode or startup repair from my vista64 dvd. Anyone have any miracle cures so I don't have to swap back to the striker and repeat the whole process. Before you ask, no I can't do a fresh install, drives have too much stuff on them that's not backed up.
Safe Mode boot gets stuck on "Loaded: \Windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys"
I used vLite to recreate my Vista64 dvd with the 750i drivers injected into it. Tried booting from that but the startup repair still isn't working. Is there a way I can just put the driver files into place from the command prompt?
Here lauri, done playing now its time to get serious. I still have a wee bit of voltage in reserve.
http://members.cox.net/chewxs/4230%20pi%201m.JPG
heres a single card 4870 512mb for you.
http://members.cox.net/chewxs/4050.JPG
Ah, I'm getting more tempted to replace my PSU, not stable under stress testing.
Wow, that single 4870 is close to my 9800GX2... stupid bottleneck.
Wow... I got ~18k when Q6600 was at 4,1GHz and HD 4870 830/1100. How is the difference so big :confused:Quote:
heres a single card 4870 512mb for you.
XP 32bit.. May be dirty.. :P Also my HDD is like 3,5 years old ;D
Let's see if I have motivation to try higher clocks for CPU... ;)
Yea I noticed that you had 875/1100 (nice core..) but I don't believe that 40-50MHz difference in GPU's core clocks would make that big difference in 3DMark result.
How much ram you have? 2g to 4g = 1000 points. Or change your page file to another drive if you don't have 4g ;)
Here's my 18k although the orb is still acting up preety bad. Read my comments/setup ORB reports my clockspeeds wrong with lower multi's
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=9583276
Its rather simple with 2 gigs it will write to your default page file, with 4 gigs of ram it doesn't need to write to the page file because there is enough memory to write to.
Simple fix without adding more memory is to have a second hard drive, I actually have all my benches installed on a totally seperate HD.
Anyway try this. You will need a second hard drive, preferably one your OS is not installed on.
RIght click my computer, properties,advanced tab, performance tab, advanced tab, go down to virtual memory click it, Your HD's will show up as well as the current paging file size, check no paging file for your OS drive.
Add a page file for your other drive, I just use custom size, 2046 min 4092 max.
Set it click ok, reboot and your done. Run 3d06, gain a 1000pts.
Then you come back to this thread and give me a cookie ;)
23k reached now http://service.futuremark.com/result...eResultType=14 :)
I don't have another HDD yet :( And to avoid OffTopic, Q6600 was at 4114MHz ;)
I've read much about LOD-tweaks but I never found out that how do you do those so 3DM06 would give much better score :shrug:

3.5GHz Stable right now, 1.43v, 1.2875VID, RAM craps out after 425FSB. Might pick up some more this weekend and try for 4GHz, using a Freezer Extreme. ^ Shot was on a benching session outside in -5c air. But i've done it again with slightly higher volts inside, using 1.53v
My PSU is really pulling me down... at lower voltages, such as 1.28-1.29v where the CPU isn't stable I get PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA while at higher voltages my PSU just craps out and I get MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION...
At first my PSU would die after 3-4 iterations of 3.5GB linpack, but after I flipped it over for better ventilation it did 10+ for no problem for a while... now it's back to the way it was.
Explain a PC that does 10+ of 1GB without errors and gets through a bunch of 2GB with no errors and hard crashes all of a sudden...
I'm running an antec trio 650 and Originally I thought the PSU was to blame at anything above 3.6g.......then I pulled a cold benching session all the way up to 4.2 and a 3d06 at 4.0+, It was temps that held me back all along.
FYI the highest 12v rail is 19A i think......
Awesome.. Are there many peeps that are able to run a Q6600 at a 500+ FSB? I'm only on air (I sold my watercooling and SS phase change setup).

Wow awesome work there officermartinez getting a 515FSB on that mobo :eek:.
Yes, it should be easy with the right board. I run my, a first revision B3, at 500FSB for 24/7. I am also aircooled, with case closed.
500FSB - 7h prime blend + 20 IBT loops on max stess.
The voltages and full-load temps are there on the pic too, reported by everest.

Simps
Sick. I just got my Q6600 (G0) to 3.6 gHz on this 750i ftw. Four hours prime95 stable before I stopped it. SPP at 1.5v, vFSB at 1.4v.
My 3DMVa gpu scores are at least 200 points lower with this board though compared to the striker extreme. This makes me very suspicious because I know when the 750i FTW first came out, there was some confusion as to whether the pci-e2.0 slots were 8x/8x or 16x/16x in SLI. Was that ever confirmed?
The Mushkin pc8500 is also sitting nicely at 1066 with 2.075v whereas on the striker it wouldn't go beyond 889 on 2.1v.
Gonna keep the 750iFTW for this machine before starting the i7 build in the spring, but just for kicks I'm gonna drop the striker back in and move it to 1504 bios from 1303 and see if that has any significant impact. OPinions?
@officermartinez- Do you know the guys at Parts'n'PCs on 580? My uncle used to own that shop before retiring to Mexico a few years ago. Craig still runs it I believe, just wondering how they're doing.
On 580? Hmmmm.. I'm familiar with a "SPUR 280" and a "HWY 80" ..I believe you might be referring to HWY 80 (which is also known as Camp Bowie Blvd). I remember seeing the shop there but I haven't been inside. Maybe when I retire from Law Enforcement, I will open my own little PC store.. Ahhhhh, the American Dream.. :up:
I like how the black zipties make the fans look like they're not not attached to anything :up:.
I thought it was 580, but yes Camp Bowie is the road. Check them out. Like I said, Craig is the guy who owns it now (I'm pretty sure). Good guys.
@loser777- Why'd you have to RMA your 750i? I was gonna do one of the P5Q boards instead but, need both my 8800GTs functional for gaming, hence the 750i.
Video Corruption, and 6-phase bugged me.
I'm curious about the six phase power. How does that affect the performance aside from efficiency?
Quad-core overclocking.
Guys, I have a good L737B q6600 but Im looking for a nice mobo for it , would you guys get :
1. P5E then rampage it ?
2. P5Q PRO ?
3. other ? specify ...
Any help would be great.
:up:
I heard speaking well of the Asus Maximus II Formula...
Someone was asking about Q6700's a minute ago. I have a Q6700 with a VID of 1.2875, and the Batch # is L724A416.. an L724. Not bad. but not the beloved L737.. right.
This chip was decent for me, I was able to get 3.33 Ghz with Stock Voltage, but then needed a big increase to get over 3.4 Ghz. 3.5 Came easily, but to get Stable on 3.6 Ghz was hard as hell, took me weeks to get it there, learning all I could, messing down to the T on the GTLREF settings, all that. and finally I was able to get 3.6 Ghz stable with 1.46v and I was able to hit 3.7 Ghz with 1.48v on my Q6700. I never was able to actually load into 3.8 Ghz even at 1.495v.. I never went to 1.5 though.. lol. I ran it 24/7 at 3.66 Ghz 1.47v and temps were around 38-40c idle, and 58c Load on it. Pretty decent.
I actually just tonight traded my Q6700 1.2875 vid, Batch #L724A tonight.. for a Q6600, to a Dell owner that Can't BIOS OC, doing Pin Mods. He traded me his Q6600, 1.2125vid with a L737B730 batch that hit 3.6 Ghz with 1.432v on a ghetto Roswell cooler, +$50 Cash..
yea, so basically I gave him my Q6700, for his Q6600+$50 Cash.. I needed the cash, plus I still have a good Quad as my backup. I figured what the hell, might as well.
they are good chips, but i sure LOVE my Q9650. :)
My Q6600 24/7 :):
http://koti.mbnet.fi/lauri_lr/kuvat/q6600kellot.JPG
37°C idle, 65°C 100% load and 55-60°C when gaming :)
More like 4500mhz if you can already run 4ghz and 4100mhz on air with low vcore.
Mine does 4050mhz with 1.58v all week long on air.....so with phase you gotta be higher than 4100mhz.
Bearing in mind using phase your gonna need better NB cooling since it'll be climbing and will most likely require more voltage aswell to stabilise.
I can run 4.1GHz with 1.55vcore, so I might push it higher, i'll seen when I get it.
Also i'm going 2 have a 12cm 133CFM Scythe Ultra Kaze fan blowing on my NB and on my MOFSETs :D and if the temps are still to high i'll get a Thermalright HR-05 IFX.
I fitted a new cold air feed today and upped voltage to NB fan to 18v from 15v :up:
Haven't messed with higher vcore today yet, but it's -3c out atm so if it goes down some in the next few hrs I'll try for higher.
Able to boot to windows and run Pi1m at 4ghz with 1.41v :)
http://thumbnails14.imagebam.com/249...2724941106.gif
It's a bummer this P5K-E has no NB temp probe but.....what can you do.
Wow 1.41vcore :clap: - thats a awesome chip.
i thought mine at 3.8 1.55vcore was ok lol good work guys :)
ah well, it only went to -4c out last night.....this was best I could do. Had to reduce memory to 1:1 hence slow Pi :( Gonna start feeding more voltage now and try to stabilise.
http://koti.mbnet.fi/lauri_lr/kuvat/q6600kellot2.JPG
The situation at the moment. 24/7 clocks..
There may be a bit too much voltage for the CPU because I just put 1,53V and started gaming and testing stability without testing if it's stable with lower voltage.
Got a TRUE & 2 70CFM Enermax 120's coming on tues, Gonna try see If theres any way of getting 3.6 Stable.
If not im interested in picking up a Q9550 :yepp:
I have:
Q6600
Asus P5Q Pro
Kingmax 2x2GB ddr800(default settings all the time)
OCZ Modstream 520W
I have two Q6600 G0 1.23 VID and both of them work on default voltage at 3ghz(333x9) Prime95 stable. First one works stable on 400x8 3.2Ghz with minimum voltage raise, other one won't make stable 3.2Ghz whatever I adjust. It's strange, what settings should I adjust?
Thanks.
sub 12s :)
<< very happy :yepp:
Very nice KELL5
TRUE is here,
3 Hours Prime stable @ 3.65GHz, hits 71c max.
Only trouble is I need 1.53v for this ..
Idle @ 33c
Can i get away with it :p: Intel claims 1.55v is max safe voltage. I've also heard a guy killed a chip with 1.6v
I think I have a duff chip, I need at least 1.65V just to BOOT at 4GHz, let alone prime :p:
Passive, although I had a 120 over the NB whilst i was out last
I think the true will give you lower load temps over the freezer, which should make a small dif. Which true is it you got...A or B? I have the A with 4 heatpipes. If you have the newer B revision then all the better.
Have you increased your cpu pll, fsb termination (cpu vtt) or NB voltage at all?
TRUE Black 120 is what I have, Not sure how many heatpipes there are, either 6 or 12, Can't see underneath, theres 6 Full pipes on top and 6 half pipes.
All NB / CPU PLL, MCH voltages are set to 'Auto' Have tried manually setting them today using a post from this thread but the system wouldn't boot.
EDIT: 6 Pipes
http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_pa...ler_tb120.html
VID 1.28
vcore: 1.37v (bios)
Stable at 3400mhz
But damn it gets hot when IBT is on. Having a s1283 (noctua 120mm 1200rpm) on it with the thru bolt kit and it hits around 80´C (well the 2 hottest cores) in IBT, while gaming it wont get above 60'C so I guess its safe.
Yeah the 6 pipes will make a difference over the 4 I have, should do anyway.
Bit strange with the voltage preventing you from booting. A small increase in ALL voltages even should'nt do that. What exactly happened? You left cpu on the vcore you already have set for 3700mhz, then increased the NB/CPU PLL and MCH voltages by their smallest increment and your machine failed to boot? If so then you have serious issues with heat........or a faulty cpu/mb :(
im sitting at 3.8 vcore 1.58 any less vcore it fails in prime 95 wish i cud get to 4ghz but no go. hello kell5
hey morning buddy :wave::)
being able to prime at 3.8ghz with 1.58v is pretty decent mate. If all your other voltages are at stock or auto then that would explain that it fails prime any higher.
to get above 3.8ghz stable myself I need to raise my NB from stock to 1.40v and cpu pll from stock to 1.60v.
Increased voltage on everything apart from the CPU & RAM, they are at 1.53 & 2v
Save settings, system reboots out of BIOS, usually on a standard boot the system double boots and then comes to life.
With above settings it just boots and stops over and over for about 4 times untill the bios resets itself :shrug:
I'll try again in about an hour, Just finishing a download :)
I think I have similar problem with you, my Q6600 need 1,5v to reach 3600mhz and the load temperature is 70ºC on TRUE [Dual fan], have tried using different mainboard and I came to conclusion that my chip is really sucks. :down:
Right now I'm using Asus P5Q pro, and this is my setting,

nice numbers KELL5!
I just spent the last couple hours messing with my q6600, and I think i'm stable at 460 x 8 = 3684MHz. According to CPUZ, my Vcore is at 1.464-1.472ish. The motherboard is a cheapo ASrock one so I think that might be part of my limiting factor. I was able to POST as high as 3.8 but my test install of windows 7 would bsod at bootup. Memory is running 1:1 at 6-6-6-18 and I wish I could get it down to 5-5-5-15, but I had tried it earlier and it was causing reboots I think. I'm running SuperPi right now with no problems, so I hope she's stable.
Here are the specs:
Q6600 @ 3.684 (460x8)
ASRock P45XE-WiFiN
G.Skill DDR2-1066 (Running @ 460MHz, 6-6-6-15)
Xigmatek HDT-S1283 HSF
Samsung HD753LJ 750GB HDD
Coolmax CUG-700B 700W PSU
Liteon 20x DVD
Apevia X-Jupiter G-Type Case
SuperPi results so far:
1M: 14.209s
32M: 14m 21.987s
EDIT - I spoke too soon. BSOD'd during the 1024M of wPrime. I think just a tad bump on the vCore and I should be good.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks! :)
Guys , how good are the latest Q6600s ?
I'v been doing a decent bit of OC'ing on my Q6600 since I got my Phase Change cooler :D
3.6GHz on 1.2v :eek:
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...zOMFGVcore.jpg
It was stable enough to run 3D benchmarks, games and I ran prime for a few min but I stopped cause it was boring :p:
