You should be running smal fft's instead of large for CPU stability. Also you should use prime95 instead of orthos. it stresses all 4 cores with the 1 program. I can pass orthos for hours yet fail prime95. I think orthos may be outdated.

WHERE ARE ALL THE DOUBTERS NOW HEY
4GHZ prime :shocked: even if not for too long :D

That explains your post.:rofl:
I have 5 1/2 hours prime @ 4Ghz http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=389. Basically shut it down because I was tired and didnt want to leave it unattended. I am sure this chip has allot more, but need another board.
I will wait for X38 tho. I am happy with 4Ghz ;)
ROFL heheheh
yeah i posted the first G0 quad results with 4GHz+ 3D benches from my contact but was afraid it would be much better than retail
it turns out it is on par with "good" chips
err not sure i get this post :p:
[EDIT]holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: that was on 680i chipset >>>> LOL i now know what Forsaken means LOL >>> ERRR i'm on the beta testing program and required to have that in my sig but i'm no cheerleader man common now
I've got my Q6600 G0 @ 3.8 GHz (1.5625v Bios, 1.5v Everest) benching Cinebench. It's hitting 62c, so I'm sure its not prime stable, but it's on air with my U-120-X. I'm not comfortable juicing it with 1.5v, so I'm leaving it there.
It's running 3.6 GHz (1.45V Bios, 1.39 Everest) Prime stable as my 24/7 clock.
Stepping? :/...
dinos22: not everyone does 4ghz tho.....pure luck.
Just try small FFT, I admitted my past experience with other CPUs was wrong,
it failed in a few minutes at 1.58V when stressing small FFT, raised to 1.62V, 30mins passed the dual orthos.
Also try dual orthos and prime95, no obviously difference, as both not failed at 1.62V :D
1.62V,@ 4GHz Small FFT 30mins dual orthos passed

hmz so what is a better test for RAM: Large FFts or Blend?
Phucked if I know, but if you take the ram out of the equation (meaning it's error free and stable - stock) and run your cpu overclock using small ffts - priority-9 it's more likely to pass this than it is when running large ffts priority-9. Why?, I have no idea, but quite a few people have confirmed these findings as well.
Best idea is to run Small, Large and Blend if your going for full 24/7 stability. 10 hours each :)
My quad runs about 5c hotter with small FFT compared to large. Plus if you look in the task manager you'll see that small FFT barely uses any RAM(because it fits in the L2 cache) while large FFT will use every available MB. So it's pretty obvious small FFT is more stressful for the CPU and large FFT for RAM and FSB. But they are not mutually exclusive. Failing large FFT does not automatically point to the RAM because the CPU is still working plenty hard. Same with small FFT.
When I OC I start with the highest CPU muli and run the RAM underclocked with loose timings and then run small FFT to test the CPU. Once the CPU OC is finalized I jack up the FSB and RAM and run large FFT to test those. After everything is OC'd I run blend mode overnight for a thorough workout.
Trying to determine lowest stable Vcore for 24/7 o'c on air - 8 x 401 passed >3H Prime95 small FFTs at 1.30V BIOS, 3.2GHz looks good enough for use on my unmodded P5W (stupid linked Vcore/EIST/C1E options) at default Vcore even with droop.

Torture test your CPU with Prime95
http://www.playtool.com/pages/prime95/prime95.html
but anyway, practice is more important :D
after seeing this thread and other results on other forums i can tell you right now it isn't really THAT much of a luck
look at 3.6GHz stable results and you will see that most of these are stable between 1.37-1.41v at that speed
and then add 0.05v for every 100MHz OC and as long as your cooling can hold out you will be able to reach 4GHz with around 1.57-1.61v somewhere :D :eek: :shocked: :D :up:

Anyone got Q6600 G0 L723a891 ? What is your oc result?
How do I determine wether it's a G0 stepping by looking at the package? Is it just that all Q6600 made after week 22 are G0's, or is there something else?
What is the "slacr" is it a part of the batch numbers on the chip itself?
sorry for the noobish questions..
man after looking at the latest replies in this tread, im REALLY confused as to why my temps are so high on water....
http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/sororneja...95_temps_2.jpg
i think i may have posted this earlier in the thread too, but im seeing guys doing super high volts and maintaining better temps than me and im only doing 1.4v
im on petra's elite kit (Fuzion Block, MCR220, DDC3.2 w/ petra's top
a picture of my setup:
http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/sororneja...img_2836_c.jpg
its my first time doing a WC loop, did i do something wrong?? the fans are on push, and my powersupply actually sits on the other side of the rad.
Just go a Q6600 G0, vid value is 1.3000v.
Doing 9 x 400 = 3.6GHz with 1.4v real and prime load temps don't break 50C.
Looks like the lower vid value chips are deffinately running hotter at the same vcore as higher vid value chips. :D
hrm, i wonder if i will get better temps by having my fans pull the air isntead of push....if you look at the pic, right behind the rad is my power supply....right now my fans are sucking in ambient air from outside of the case and pushing it through....i wonder if the air is jamming between the radiator and the power supply (only half of the radiator is blocked by the psu)
Just got my G0 too, L724A639, vid is 1.2625v. Max Prime stable on water is 3.6GHz 1.45v as set in BIOS, MB is a P5K Deluxe. Temps are just horrible, reaching 70c with small FFT! I reseated the CPU block (Fuzion), even took it apart to see if anything was restricting flow with no joy. It's a disappointment because that's the exact same OC I can get out of my QX6700 B3, same temps too. Atleast the P5K didn't fail to impress, 450x8 no problem at all, RAM running at 1125MHz. My old P5B couldn't even come close to that.
yea man it really is dissapointing (and reassuring for me that its not my loop that has the problems), my temps are exactly the same :(
@TinTin,
I have a VID of 1.25, and running with a Higher vCore, but w/ a little Better WCing setup than yours, it runs pretty warm, according to me.
Find my post in the last few pages, to see them.. 51-51-47-47 @ 3.6Ghz @ 1.40vCore, if I remember them correctly.
Specs in Sig.
I think I've got a 4GHz capable chip... Maximum voltage my motherboard could supply is about 1.45V under load from 1.59375V set in the bios.
Anyway, here's 3.6GHz - not test for hours, but it is a good indicator that my settings are close to stable.
http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/9904/3600cropgn5.jpg
I also tested out 3.8GHz, with that maximum my motherboard could supply. Got about 5 minutes in... and something started to smell like it was burning coming from my computer :(. Everything seems fine, it could have been the little rubber straps attached to the Ultra120x, at least I hope it was those, as the CPU chip was 69-74C under load at 3.8GHz...
By the way I cheated on the ambients because I had the ambient down to 68F from 80F, so I'm not realistically looking at these kind of overclocks until... October. But right now 3.6GHz is definitely looking like my winter overclock. Maybe even more depending on what the ambient room temperature is.
By the way, batch: L723A841
A batch are better thats all i know, i had a B batch and it was terrible, barely would do 3.4 played with it for a week.I could post at 3.6, even with 1.65 set in bios, orthos would fail. I sent the sucker back and bit the restocking fee bullet, why keep something your not happy with.?!?!
seems B batch is donkey balls. A guy i worked with just picked himself up a G0 aswell, of course it was a B batch, he hates it. IT actually doesnt clock aswell as his B3, it does run cooler though @ 3.1 he couldnt get it past 3.2
Ive got my old e6600 back in and sitting at 3.75 as i type this, waiting on my RMA/refund

^^ Stepping?!
What does it mean if my OC is Prime stable for 12hrs+ but crashes when I try SuperPi 32M? Is that RAM related?
so does coretemp 0.95 read G0 quadcore temperatures correctly?
Just received this stepping.
Probably the newest here.
Will be getting Abit IP35 pro soon. Mostly on saturday or sunday.
Fingers crossed.

L723A825 using P5K-DLX with 1.435V 3.71GHz. I did do a mirror finish lap job on the IHS! I'm really enjoying my Quad Core! Here is a quick picture @ idle right after a 22min SP2004 100%load. Sorry, I forgot to snap a pic while testing for load temps, however when 100% loaded in a 25c room (HOT!!!) the temps were this
core0 = 56
core1 = 56
core2 = 54
core3 = 54
100% loaded!!! This chip OCs better then my L630A E6600 and runs almost cooler. Thanks Intel for the G0 Q6600. I figure that the temps will improve once TIM has cured.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...rCLock3240.jpg
Question:
1. Core temp Beta .94 reports temp about 10degrees C greater than uGuru (as seen in the picture). Which one is more accurate?
2. According to Core Temp, baseline is 49C and load is 63C. Is that too high or OK?
3. If that is too high, what can I do to bring the temp down beside switching to better fan like a Tunig or so. Still, Idle temp seems higher than I would expect here.
4. Looking at my parameters, what can I do to improve performance? I just set it in those random numbers and it OC that well (except for the heat). I believe that if I know how to tweek it, I can get so much higher.
5. When I run Prime95, the temps are back down to idle (50C), how is that so? Lower than Orthos? I thought it is a more vigorous test than Orthos? If that is true, my temps are perfectly OK as I am at 57C on all 4 cores. I checked Task MAnager and apparently only 25% of CPUs utilized!! How do I stress it 100%?
All help/pointers are appreciated.
Orthos will only stress 2 cores, older version of Prime95 will only stress 1 core. D/L Prime95 v25.4 which can launch 4 threads. http://www.computerbase.de/downloads...e95/?url=14026
-I'd trust the coretemp readings. uGuru is probably reading the temp from the socket area which is always cooler.
-Your temps are OK but run small FFT again with 4 threads of Prime95 and see what happens. If it hits 70c then you probably can't OC any higher.
-to improve performance, you can set the CPU multiplier to 7 and the FSB to 463MHz and adjust the RAM to a 1:1 ratio That'll give you the same CPU speed you have now but much higher bandwidth on the FSB and RAM. Run Prime95 on blend for a few hours to see if it's stable.
-if it pases the previous step you could try a higher RAM divider to speed up the RAM. I believe the next step up would be the 4:5 divider which would put the RAM at DDR2-1158 which might be too high. If it is then you could stick with 1:1 and try tightening the timings, 4-4-4-12 for example.
Looks like my first G0 can hit 3.6GHz on air after all. Not quite stable though, I'll need to beef up my cooling (unmodified Ninja Plus Rev. B). Should look into lapping the CPU and Ninja.

Got two Q6600 G0
1/ FPO/BATCH# L727A619 Pack Date 07/31/2007 with a VID of 1.3000v does 3.6GHz with 1.4v real. Load Prime95 temps are 50-50-48-48 with room ambient of around 25C
2/ FPO/BATCH# L25A903 Pack Date 07/31/2007 with a VID of 1.2650v does 3.6GHZ with 1.4v real. Load Prime95 temps are 55-55-54-54 with ambient temps around 25C
Both do 3.2GHZ with 1.28v real and both are 12 hours prime stable at both frequencies with above settings.
Haven't tried higher frequency with either cpu yet but it appears the lower value VID cpu is running hotter with the same vcore as the higher VID value cpu.
anything over 30 minutes or maybe 60 minutes of priming is overkill...when will you ever run 100% on all four cores...i think the answer is almost "never"!

FPO: L723A841 Pack Date: 07/27/07 VID: 1.2000 I'm still learning my way with the P5K Premium (just got it to replace a P5W DH). So far I've gotten 3.6Ghz w/ 1.36vcore (real). Like I said, I'm still learning the board as it has new features and I don't know what some of them are..LOL I will report back soon. BTW: Is having a lower VID better or worse?
Here's my results. My vcore in BIOS is set to 1.5v, yet Everest shows it using 1.42. Newls1 explained vdroop to me and it makes sense. My question is, which one is it REALLY using? The 1.5 in BIOS or 1.42 that Everest shows. I keep reading 1.5v should be the safe limit when OC'ing, if I'm only really using 1.42, then great, I'll try to reach the 3.8GHz mark. If not, :confused:
http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/5457/vcore1mj9.jpg
Guys, please, mention your stepping as well.. The FPO/Batch no. :)..
Has anyone been able to do 500FSB with this aside from those with Extreme Cooling?
Do you not trust what I explain with you:confused: Vdroop is an issue with 98% of the boards out there. Just cause you set a Vcore in the BIOS does not mean that is what your "pumping" to the CPU. Example: If you set 1.50 in BIOS, once your in windows it might read 1.45 after vdrop, then once under 100% load it might read 1.42 after VDROOP.
Thats too funny!!!:rofl:
On a serious note: I think that 98% of the boards out there have a software communication issue with windows where it cant read the right values & I'm pretty sure that everybody playing the "Its them who dont wanna fix it" game.:shakes:
