1 week ago I noticed that after going above 3600MHz, SPI would start failing. Not BSOD'ing just crashing. Which I thought was odd, no other CPU that I have OC'ed too far has done that.
Been fiddling around in the bios now, My MCH/ICH Temps are fine. Stuck the MCH to 1.42v, cool to the touch.
Theres a few things I need to sort out. If I try to boot at...
400x9
LLC Enabled
1.45v
1.42v MCH
1.2V ICH
1.9V DIMM
All others 'Normal' *System Will NOT Boot* BIOS Resets.
Something isn't getting enough voltage at the 'Normal setting' Which is probably CPU or MCH.
I'll have to sort that out by the process of Elimination.
EDIT::mad: SPI Still crashes, 8 minutes in.. Prime Core 1 errors out in the first few seconds... :shrug:
I can't remember :(Quote:

I'm gonna give that a shot now. I'll report back, probably within the hour after Prime fails again :rofl:

Alright I've just tried them exact settings. Boots OK. SPI Still stops after a few seconds. Worker 1.

With my E8500 with air cooling I had a similar problem, one core would always fail no matter what I did. Then I tested it with my phase change and it was fine. I'm not saying you should go and get phase change tho.
BTW i don't know why KELL5 is banned, most have done something wrong :shrug:
I was booting 1:2, My ram won't do 1066 :up:
I'd hazard a guess I'd be stable if my chip was that much cooler, But I ain't going phaze change just for this chip :rofl:
I'm probably going to pick up a different chip / new ram some time soon.
I'll see how high I can boot FSB wise within the next day just to get a judgement of how capable my board is. Will have to watch the RAM though.
I got my Phase Change for my awesome Q6600, also i'v heard the new Q6600 can't even get above 3.0GHz.

Not a bad overclock there :)
What VTT and PLL volts are you using?
Also change the Tj. Max to 95C instead of 100C :yepp:
VTT and PLL are on auto, didn't touch anything else yet, just the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty ram freq. set to 907mhz and timings to 5-5-5-18..Quote:

set tjmax to 95°c.. but saw different readings, some said tjmax is 90c, some 95c, some 100c... so what is tjmax for a q6600 g0? I know it should be 90°c regarding Intel, but that's just LOL
Your more likely to burn out your chip with auto setting. Set the PLL to 1.5v and the VTT to 1.3v.
Well I always use 95C TJ. Max, cause 90C is way to low for me.
Very nice work there Bootup05 :clap:
Quite a bit of vcore tho.
Yeah, 1.66v @ BIOS. Ain't measured VCORE with DMM yet.
Only ran for 2 mins, vista took an age to boot, tense moment! :shocked:
I just got myself a L744 replacing my lousy L804. The VID is 1.225V. Currently I doing 3.3Ghz(8*412) with 1.225V set in BIOS. Under load, the vcore is 1.216V under Everest reading. Temp are around 65C.
That L804 can do 3.2Ghz (8*400) with 1.30625V in BIOS and produce roughly the same temp. Im not sure why the temp for my L744 is high although the Vcore is low.
Btw, may I know what is the accurate TJ Max for Q6600 G0? Currently it's set at 100. If I set it to 90C, my idle and load temp will decrease by 10C and that means I can push it further.
Intel says the Tj. Max is 90C, but most people (such as myself) use 95C.
Lower VID chips tend to have higher temperatures... going from a 1.3125v to two 1.2125s... I know the difference firsthand.
That doesn't make sense?
Or am i missing something?
wow thats a alot of vcore :rofl: thought mine was pushing it 1.58v mite push it to 1.65 lol safe ? on air :up:Quote:

Low VID chips need higher current and high VID chips need lower current. Am I correct?
I don't think that's completely accurate. Keep in mind that not all chips are created equal, hence why they are binned according to TDP also, the current draw will vary between good/bad processors. Even though a line of processors for example has a rating of 125W TDP, it doesn't mean they will all use 125W at max load, some far less than 125, some close or at 125.
This is the reason Intel is charging more for a 65W line of Q9450s... these processors used to be in the standard line of Q9450s, but Intel decided to take advantage of the situation and segregate the ones with extremely low power consumption from the average ones.
Also, low VID chips are generally better because low VID chips have a trend of scaling better, as all chips have a point where the voltage scaling goes from linear to exponential-low VID chips stay in the range of acceptable voltage longer.

So again can we see some proof??????
I assumed that the fact that lower VID chips have higher temperatures is pretty much common knowledge...
As for hard evidence? I mean inevitably there's going to be some variation caused by mounting pressure/spread of TMI, etc, but on a rough scale my 1.2125v VID chip got the same temps that my 1.3125v VID chip at 1.35v vs 1.45v. I actually remounted my chip many times, refusing to believe it, switching between Pushpins/retention bracket in the process also.
Granted, not everyone is going to experience this dramatic of a change, but it is essentially a given that a chip with a lower VID is going to have higher temperatures at the same voltage.
I guess I should clarify that I mean lower VID chips tend to run "hotter" at the same voltages, obviously a chip with 1.2125v VID isn't going to run at higher temperatures than a 1.3250v VID chip out of the box.

I am not saying all chips with low vid result in high temperature, but i am pretty sure this is the case for q6600.
I've recently bought a Q6600 G0 in ebay , it's a L727A749 (Aug-07) with 1.30V VID, to replace my E6600@3600. i'm not changing the mobo though, it's a Gigabute P965-DS3P rev 2.0. I've read that P35 is a better chipset for OC'ing this quads but I'm going to give it a try and I'd like to know if someone has achieved significant results with a P965 chipset and Kentdales. I've searched the forums but with little success.
So far I haven't done much testing but it's sitting at 3.2GHz with 1.280V in cpu-z (1.32V BIOS). Temperature is ~34ºC idle and ~43ºC load at (9x356) which is about 4 degrees hotter that at the stock 9x266. So far the temps haven't risen much but I'm aware that Vcore is the main contributor to heat dissipation and it's still quite low. When it gets to higher values I'll write my findings in this issue of Temps vs VID.
Another question: the E6600 wouldn't go further than 3600MHz no matter what so I put it in 8x450; do you think that it's gonna be harder for the mobo to achieve 450FSB with the quad compared to the dual core? Supossing the cpu itself reaches 9x400 without much pain.
Greetings!
Well, you already have it at 3,2Ghz, so why not keep the 3,2Ghz but on a 8x400 combination?
why don"t you try 9x400 giving you 3.6ghz should be easy enough good luck.:up:Quote:

To be honest, stay open minded with you gear and realize whats limiting you in places, and keep trying new settings. my quaddie can apparently do 4.23ghz @ 1.55v, but my board wont go any higher with the FSB...
Batch : L807A413
Result: won't stay stable at anything over 1400 (ish) fsb.
Motherboard: Striker II Extreme
RAM: Corsair XMS3 1333C9DHX
It needs around 1.4v in BIOS to stay stable at 3ghz. (1.45v actual).
Not sure if it's the board, or the cpu, but it won't stay stable at 1600 fsb even with a 6x multi. VID is 1.3.
Higher fsb also results in some POST freezes and my motherboard can't find my boot HDD.
Don't know if it's mobo or cpu that's holding it back. Any way to find out if it's mobo or cpu?
You mobo should be able to handle a 400 FSB. Have you tried increasing the NB and SB voltage?
VID 1.3 sounds bad!Quote:

Hi everyone!!
What GTLs do you use for your Q6600 for ~430MHz FSB?? Do you have them both the same (e.g. 0/2 = 0.67 and 1/3 = 0.67), or do you have them different, like e.g. 0/2 = 0.63 and 1/3 = 0.67???
I'm using an Asus P5Q-E, I'm unsure where to start with these values...thanks!
at 3.4Ghz ( 425x8 ) 1.415vCore in bios, 1.27xx PPL (max) , 1.29vMCH , 2.00vDIMM
My computer either reboots or BSOD's after about 4hrs of Prime Small FTT, temps are with in acceptable levels.
Does this mean i need more vcore?
Hey everyone.
Didn't want to post a new thread.... so I was wondering what I should do to get my computer stable and clocking higher? I am an absolute first time overclocker. Like, FIRST EVAR.
All of the relevant settings that I know of:
Q6600 G0. 1.23V stock, but HW Monitor said 1.1. I don't know what the deal is with that.
Current settings:
9x315MHz, 1.275V.
RAM: Wintec 2x1GB DDR3 1333MHz. Set at 1.8V. 7-7-7-15 timing.
I am on a Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 board, running Vista Ultimate. I am using a Thermaltake Big Typhoon.
I can't seem to get 3GHz stable even when just browsing the web... it BSODs a ton. I'm back down to 2.88 or whatever that comes out to.
Any advice? If I left anything out, please let me know! Thanks so much! :)
1.275v is my starting voltage.. so you may wish to try 1.315v or higher for 3.0 or 3.6
Thanks, I'll try that.
Should I mess with the memory voltage any?
At 400FSB 1:1 you should only be running it at manufacturer specification or a notch higher.Quote:

Next 3600 Mhz, I hope I don't need to up the voltage too much, I'll try with this Vcore at first, then 1-2 notches up.
I have a problem...
atm it SEEMS liek this chip WOULD be a good OCer.... atm its running stable at 1.38v at 3.2 ...... BUT under load from occt or Prime etc.. it can go down to 1.28!!!!! thats a whole 0.1v vdroop!!!
weird the vid is at 1.325 when its stable at this speed at 1.28v... but It's frigging annoying... is the only thing to do is get a better mobo with better voltage i guess??
My cpu or power supply is bad for OC
When I set my voltage to 1.51 at bios, and make 100% on all cores, clocks 3840 Mhz, computer shuts down.
I discovered that PWM temp are getting a way in this overclock.
If I don't manage to keep it under 100C computer crashes or shuts down.
But, here is 3680 Mhz at 1.45V (Vdroop to 1.37V)

Hey, I'm trying to get my q6600 stable @ 4ghz
I had it stable at 3.825 ghz @ 425*9, but taking it to 445*9 caused instability.
So.. I raised vcore. I start up prime95, my temps look fine, and then ight when prime95 starts its work thread My pc loses power and restarts.
I never had that happen. So I went back to my 3.825 stable settings. Then ran prime. It was fine.
So I trid raising the fsb terminaton voltage and the NB voltage. Nothing, still just powers down and restarts... but out of curisoity I booted back up and ran 3dmark06. It ran fine. Then I went and test out some cs:s.... it ran so normal that I forgot and ended up playing for a few hours :D
So does anyone have any suggestions? I have reason to believe raising the vcore won't help any.
Try IntelBurnTest (link in my sig). It should tell you if your chip is truly stable or not in a very short amount of time.
In that situation it wouldn't be very helpful finding solution to that instability problem. IntelBurnTest or LinX causes instant restart if VTT/GTL is not set right. I have not yet figured a way to solve it.Quote:

Theintel burntest is kind of stupid imo, If you can run prime 95 for 12 hours without issue but can't run the IBT for a min... do you really need it THAT stable? But some people need/like there stability. I like a bit of speed over full stability :P
Should I test my q6600 one core at a time? I never heard of anyone disabling cores just for finding stability.
Last night I kind of gave up and went down to 3.87ghz. It has to do with my FSB.... I am sure. Snipe dogg told me inbetween cs:s scrims last night that the x38's hits an fsb wall around were I am at. I would consider grabbing a p45 mobo somewhere but meh.... Not worth the hassle for a few mhz when I am looking forward to i7 or am3 eventually.
What vcore you using?
Getting one to 3.8+ for 24/7 isnt bad.
i had mine stable at 3.8mhz not anymore since i went to windows 7 x64 its no longer stable weird but true now im at 3.5mhz not sure why and what im doing wrong :( oh well going to go amd 3 soon i think
64bit stable is harder than 32bit stable, not sure why.
AM3, nice choice, dont think you will be disappointed.
surpose my 8gb ram would make it harder still ? didnt know 64bit is harder get stable than 32bit hmmmm cheers georgestorm for the heads up man
Yeah, have you tried upping the vNB?
The more RAM you have the greater the strain on the NB, so that may help.
Atleast, I think 64buit is harder to get stable, im sure ive seen/heard it.......
3.6mhz stable it seems upping the vNB cheers for heads up :) will try for more george
No problem, let us know how you get on.
Hey.
I have a L804A490 VID 1.225V. Today is running at 400x8, 1.18±0.01v on load, 1.22 idle, 1.25v BIOS, stable.
I have tried to run at 3.6 but no sucess up to 1.36v, +0.05v FSB,+0.05 MCH, loadline. On AUTO it goes to 1.54v. Bumping more voltage will increase heat too much. After ~3.3 it starts to ask too much voltage.
What could i do? My mobo is a ex38 gigabyte. I heard about GTL ref but no idea. Any magic solutions, lol,?
Guys, I NEED your help to squeeze the very last piece of MHz of my Q6600.It is a very good sample, known to do 4150 MHz on water and 4350 on gas cooling, I have only the ultimate HSF champion from Thermalright-the ULTRA 120-E, with 2 x SSFLEX 120mm.Asus P5E X38 with Rampage formula latest BIOS, 2 x 1 GB Transcend aXe RAM @ Micron D9GMH chips.1kw CWT HX1000W PSU from Corsair, open case, etc.There`s going to be an Overclocking and modding gurus OC championship in Bulgaria, and I hope to be among the middle in the final score, as I stand no chance in the benchmarks vs any Core i7 on air cooling...I managed to make... 3, 95 GHz 1,68 V Prime BLEND stable in one cold night (the rules of the championship require passing 20min Prime BLEND test before starting), and never managed to make even 3,88 Ghz on the other day...My PC was illegally seized by RIAA-like local ****, I work no more in the IT industry, prior to a far better job, I admit losing many of my previous OC skills...Even so, this is the ultimate best hardware/OC forum worldwide, I hope not to laugh @ me or let me down...So, my STRANGE settings on my even stranger MB are:
DISABLED: Dram stating read control, C1E, CPU and PCI-E spread spectrum, CPU TM function, Vanderpool technology, Execute disable bit, Max CPUID value limit (WTF is this...)
Enabled: Loadline calibration
On AUTO, since the MB is so strange, I wasn`t able to make stable not one configuration...
AUTO (Whoever laughs loses his tongue :-P) DRAM SKEW A, B/ AI CLOCK TWISTER/AI TRANSACTION BOOSTER/CPU AND NB CLOCK SKEW/ Voltages on AUTO-FSB termination, SB, SB 1,5V, CPU GTL voltage reference, NB GTL voltage ref, DRAM CHANNEL A-B voltage reference
MANUAL: CPU RATION-9x, FSB strap to NB=400, FSB @ 439, PCI-E @ 101, DDR2 @ 1170 MHz 5-5-5-18 (with a low cpu multi-no problem at 1200MHz @ 5-5-5-15), DRAM command rate- 2N, all fans @ maximum speed from bios.
Could you post a picture like that: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6348/3656linx.jpgQuote:

today im going to push my Q6600 as far as i can... 1.28v on mine right now at 3GHz, im sure it can go WAY lower as at stock speeds i was running at like 1.14 or something crazy when i was screwing around with it... 3.2 will be no problem, 3.6Ghz will be where i think i'll have issues.
Why I get restarts/reboots (black screen and power reset) when I run CPU intensive application like LinX or Prime95 100% all 4 cores,
when I set CPU vcore over 1.41V in bios, like 1.43V
All other settings are defaults, this happens when cpu is 2.13 GHz and 3.6 GHz too
components are:
X3210 (kentsfield G0, vid 1.2125V)
Abit IP35
A-DATA 4 GB
8800 GTS 512
OCZ GamerXstream 700W
5 harddrives
DVD
12 fans
Sound Blaster X-FI
Network card
This seriously limits my overclock, with 1.41V set in bios (1.32V at load) Prime95 and LinX fail at about 3640 MHz
push more voltage into the CPU FSB possibly
im currently prime'ing this...
http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/589345.png
1.37v and everest reports 1.28 in prime... hella droop :(
If my problem could be solved, so that CPU can take more volts, it would reach 3.9 GHz easily.Quote:

At this very moment I have this kind of situation

wow, i deff dont have that problem, mine are watercooled lol...
right now im coming up on 1hr prime stable which is more than i seriously think i'll ever need and hottest core is 56C in a slightly warm room
push it very hard. rough estimates on max FSB at default multi are easily foundQuote:

im curious to see if it will do 4GHz but im not sure as to how much voltage is "safe" to jam into it.
What is the safe 'high' level V? I had 1.45 and got to 3.7Ghz 15min P95 stable over the weekend but wasn't sure how much further I could push it. Only have a TuniqTower atm but ambient was ~18 and I was getting mid-50's on coretemps.
If it's 'safe' to put 1.5V through might give that a go and aim for 4Ghz! I also found with mine, that 425*8 @ 1.31V was more stable than 377*9 @ 1.35V and lasted longer in P95.
1.45V-1.55V is safeQuote:

Agree, when i was still using XP i only needed 1.315v at bios to keep my Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz stable, when i moved up to vista64 i needed 1.325vQuote:

Decrease temps and increase voltsQuote:

I was able to OC to around 3.5, but Windows Vista would not boot and gave me the blue screen....can you guys please send me your BIOS settings? The BIOS even let me OC let DRAM to 1297MHz, but Vista just wouldn't boot.
Thank you !!!

With that configuration, after an hour, prime crashes and blue screen appears. I don´t know what can i do.
My objective is get to 3.6 or 3.8 ghz stables.
My vid is 1.3250v
Thanks in advanced
do you know how bad the vdroop is iirc.. mines pretty much 0.1V so I set 1.42v (then under load) it goes to 1.32 (so stock in our case i have same vid as you) then 3.2 is easy...
aslo whats your ram I have some 1066mhz rated sticks but they dont like it :(
Disable Static Read control and enable Load line Calibration and test again... I would lower ram volts to 2.1 tooQuote:

I´m gonna change that parameters Leeghoofd and try again.
I´ll tell you later
Thanks

Here the results.
I change:
-Statistic Read Control: Disabled.
-Loadline Calibration: Disabled
-Vdram: 2.1V
and also:
execute disable bit: enabled.
cpu tm function: enabled.
Now all it´s stable. But, I want to get 3.6 ghz or 3.8 ghz, what more can i do?
Thanks a lot
P.D. I´m using Windows 7 x64 bits
This is mine.

Slowly up the FSB by 10 so try 370 next, keep the rams around 1000-1066mhz, normally you should be able to get there but it all depends on what Vcore ya CPU needs...Quote:

Dunno mate, I think P35 can handle 450FSB dead easy with a quad and the limiting factor here is ya CPU and it's cooling... try to get it too 3.4-3.5Ghz and you will have enough CPU power for games and co...

Hi mate
Thanks a lot a lot a lot!!!!!!!
I get, at now, 380 fsb. But the temps go to 70º C.
I think i´m gonna try with lapping my thermalright and my q6600. But i don´t know any tutorial with photos or a video, and i don´t also know which number of paper sander take.
Anyone can help me about that? a tutorial and the materials i´ll need?
Thanks in advance.
CPU Lapping Guide (Part 1 of 2)
P.S. I tested my Q6600 when core temperatures was above 80 degree.
thanks russian mate.
I know that video.
I suppose I´ll buy this week the materials and try it.
One question, your Motherboard lets you put in numbers the parameters???
