There is a way with the new orthos but I don't know how it works. The older orthos you can select each core but you have to run four instances. Kinda a pain but it loads all four.

just use prime95 v25.X
one instance loads 4 cores... or as many as you want!
I agree, don't use a Storm with a quad. That's what I had when I first got my QX6700 and the temps were rediculous. Dropped 10c easy by switching to a D-Tek Fuzion. Everyone should check if their IHS is flat also.
I ordered up 2 Q6600's and they should be shipping out tonight and arrive in 1-2 days. Gonna test them out on an IP-35 Pro. :up:
So is the D-Tek Fusion better for Quad than the Apogee GT?
Just ordered mine. Should come tomorrow. Anyone know if the G0 stepping's Q6600 will work with the latest bios for the Gigabyte 965P S3?
I will pick up a D-Tek and report back.
i also ordered one Q6600 G0 ,should be here tomorow or in worse cenario after tomorow , then obviously i will post results here @ watercooling
:up:
Well I got my Q6600 from mwave today and its B3 Stepping:( I don't know how it is running at stock right now and Temps are really GREAT.. 26c..26c..25c..21c:D Just booted up a 1/2hr ago was wrenching on the car and my Fine Big Swingin Assed FED EX Girly showed up I was to busy checking out that Sweet Ass and could have cared less B3 ...G0 ..what ever!!!! Gimme that Booty:D
After some poking at max oc, I can boot at 3.55 GHz but got freezes and 1 BSOD at 1.4v and 1.45v. 1.5v = no boot (might be too hot). 3.5 GHz on desktop but freeze as soon as I push the cpu above idle, same at 3.45. I even did a suicide run at 9x400 for 3.6 GHz and 1.5v, got past the POST splash and froze on Windows so I dunno if it is board limitation or just plain too hot (after 3 attemps, I cannot boot anymore so I had to let the computer off for 10 mins before I can boot back in BIOS).
I'm currently running at 3.4 GHz, 1.375v (1.36v in SpeedFan) and running Prime95 for 10 mins now. Load temp in SpeedFan is 43-51C (varying), which is good.
I believe that if I go with watercooling, I will be able to run at 3.55 - 3.6 GHz without issues.
Dude thats awesome, did yours come from NCIX?Quote:

This is all on air by the way though temps are not as good.Quote:

like I told you, 395fsb max with the XBX2, 390 stable with proper vfsb/vmchQuote:

Its done - just pulled the trigger on a Q6700 GO from Newegg for $595. Thursday will be fun.
I had the same with my B3 Quad and the ASUS P5W DH (975 chipset). Couldn't get it stabe over 3300. Thought that was the limit of the CPU but I bought a P5K D and booted it right from the start at 400x9 and it was rock solid, even booted to Windoz @3.8 but temps were a little too high for air.:)Quote:

45-52C after 1 hour of Prime95 with G0, does that answer your question ????Quote:

Is that on AIR? or WATER?Quote:

Yes it does! But want more responses to do the comparitive Balpark for Temps on G0 as a whole. I get like 62c on highest temp for that ammount of time at 1.28V 3.0ghz:rolleyes: Not outrages temps but would still prefer lower if at all possible ya know?

well your G0 does with FSB scaling on
the eVGA 680i with the new P30 bios, please post pics of any test of high fsb if possible many thanks.....
regards dyn.
On air, 1.375v with a Thermalright SI-128 and Silverstone FM121 fan at max speed.Quote:

That's actually pretty good temps. You've got my B3 beat by 5 or 6 degrees.;)Quote:
