I used TAT for two cores and quatro for the other 2.Quote:

Prime 95 allows you to pick a specific core to run on. You can also use task manager to limit affinities that way.
The newer prime uses 4 threads, and yes it does get hot, after running for 2 hours i saw 71* yesterday! Today didnt go past 68*, as i have the door open its and very cool outside.Quote:

testing my new QX6700 ES week33
air cooled zalman 9500 , crappy cheap bord , could not set any lower vcore or higher FSB or multie at this time :p:
bord is foxconn P965 , Evga 680i died yestarday :( , still have to rma P5W DH and a 2 P5B :p:

EDIT : not to all user's plz post week also ;)
My 2 results both L647 F085 and both on XBX2 boards.
One in a Koolance case which just doesn't have the cooling power. 3.33Ghz(10x333) at 1.4V 75C load.

The other is cooled by Fuzion block, PA120.3, and MD-20. 3.8Ghz(11x346) at 1.575V 70C load. It was 10hrs prime stabe but I didn't like it for my 24/7 machine, so I backed down to 3.66Ghz(11x333) at 1.5V at 65C

EDIT: meant 11x346 to 246
Where can i get the new prime95? Been looking for it but can only find older version? Anyway, 4x orthos works as you can choose core there as well.
I have my rig running at 3.4 24/7 now, works very well, tried 3.6 but that isn't 8 hours orthos stable yet. Still trying to figure out what to do on the commando voltages. everything but vcore on auto seems to work just as well as much higher voltages!
Shame the p5w dh didn't like to oc the qx6700, that board is so much easier to work with. But that wouldn't even give me 3.4 stable.
I can't boot into windows from 3.9 onwards. BSOD
I have the L647 F078 stepping
damn read first page off the thread !
btw gone post lowest temps on air :D
it hass 8°C in my room and got a shot off idle temps windows @ 2core 13°C and 2 others 18°C :D

Yes the math works better that way doesn't it. :p: I couldn't find a setting for the RAM(the Ballistix from you) at 346 that made me happy, but at 333 they run 500 4-4-4 at stock volts(8hours memtest)so that seemed to work better all around for the system another reason I backed down from 3.8Ghz.
@Catscit
What temps are you getting on your week 47, I'd like to compare.
Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro @ 400FSB

Scythe Infinity + 120mm @ 55CFM
That will have the cold boot issue now though I believe, yes? My P5WDG2 WS Pro started doing it at about 318/319 FSB.Quote:

Finally figured out why i couldnt go 333x10. My memory was being oced to 378x2, so I locked it @ 1:1 and runs the 1333 strap perfectly. 340x10 is a no go, even with 1.38v. So ima stick with this speed, its good enough for now, or when Penryn comes out. :D :D
Clockgen does not work on a quad, at least with ASUS 680i, and yes of course they like more FSB.Quote:

All my cooling can handle. went to 71*C load on 2 chips, 65*C for the other 2. BTW i oced 666Mhz over stock, haha.
330FSB or so :)Quote:

That chipset heatsink gets *hot* though...I may slap a fan on it and see if that helps.
Hmm thats odd, could it be the northbridge? Never thought it would be a problem, its a big cooler. Good luck tho, hopefully you can get more. :DQuote:

If its too hot to touch then it will certainly cause instability. Put a fan on it and lets see you crank it up!Quote:

Just got this system together and can't seem to get it past 3.2Ghz (320 x 10). I've upped most of the voltages to 1.5 and mem at 2.2. Memory is set to 5,5,5,15 2T at 800mhz. Cooling seems pretty good at load ~44.
I'm pretty new to OCing but was hoping some of you pros could get me above this with a stable setting on the fsb and memory. I now realize that the 680i Asus boards aren't that great for ocing the Q which is a little disappointing now that I have the board.
I've had problems with temperatures of my QX6700 since the very beginning; even with the Ninja Plus revB, they reached 90C under full load of Prime95! For this reason, I could never exceed 3.0GHz (and even at this speed, was uneasy about temperatures). I replaced the Ninja with another unit, cause I thought the first one could be defective (and/or the thermal grease not properly applied), but it didn't help much.
I'm thinking now about the Zalman CNPS9700NT with ZM-STG1 grease; does anyone have experience with that one one the QX6700?
Currently running at 3.3 with 1.3V, FSB 1333~1.4V, Memory 1066~2.0V, CAS 5. Load temps are 47-49C which should get better as the AS5 breaks in. NB is 37C under load and it is all H20 cooled. I have had it stable to 3.6 with ease but my load temp was 58C and I have only had it a week so I backed off until everything breaks in. This is a very easy chip to OC with the eVGA 680i MB.
Since I'm after as quiet operation as only possible, I'm keeping the C1E auto and SpeedStep on (Asus P5W DH Deluxe). This leaves me with all voltages on auto, and the best super-stable result is 3.15 GHz (with RAM at some 395 MHz 4:4:4:12). Do you think it is a good result, considering default voltages?
