I guarantee you cannot complete 32M calculations of super Pi at that low of a voltage. My Q6600 has a VID of 1.225. I could boot and run at the same voltage but it wouldn't pass any real benchmarks.Quote:

. I do not see any of the power supply voltages (+12v, etc) reported by software drop while under load so I don't think I have a power supply issue.

I don't believe in statements without showing some actual results with them (over 4 hours of Prime95) anyone can SuperPi, wPrime or Small FFT's.Quote:

Well being rock stable on 3.6GHz and 1.28v isn't really impossible and I'm sure he can do it, considering the fact that he has a VERY rare chip with a VID of 1.200v. Actually, never seen a second one with that kind of VID.Quote:

I'm personally less lucky, but still my chip can do 3.6GHz rock stable on 1.32v, but my board is limiting me a little so I'm keeping it as in my sign below :)
And tbh, considering 32M SuperPi stable is a little too soon. Errors can pop out even after 3H of Small FTT's on Prime95. In my opinion, 8H+ and more can be considered stable.
That's a bit of a blanket statement...... my vcore drops to 1.28 at times too.Quote:

What's your FSB voltage set to and your Northbridge Voltage set to? I can run my computer in low 1.3v's but it won't pass Super PI above 4M. If it works for you, great.Quote:

It can do 333x9=3000mzh, stock voltage.
It can also do 350x9=3195mhz, 1.2v stable. under load after vdroop
But when i crank it to 355x9 no matter the voltage it just wont be stable no matter what.
Bad batch?
Commando mobo, kingston 6400 cheap ass mem.
haha. tell me about it. i wont even have time to put it together with all the projects and assignments due soon. right now just preparing my 320gb as OS drive and pulled the 750gb out of a My Book and formatted it.Quote:

ive been doing my research these past couple days so hopefully i get one with a low VID and high OC :D
Try loosening up the RAM timings for now so that you know it's not that cheap ram holding you back whilst you up the FSB. Also, try running a 1:1 divider as well.Quote:

Edit. I can get about 6min at the same settings then bsod.
I had an L745A793 for which I paid $199. Serveral people reported good oc result with it. I didn't even open mine, and returned it today.:p:Quote:

But I've read that if you want to clock your Q6600 to 3,0Ghz just change the FBS to 333, you dont need to change the volt. Is that really true?
Chances are, the Maximus will overvolt the CPU @ 3000. You may want to lower voltage manually in bios. My board went to 1.3v on auto but was prime stable with 1.17v (1.16 load) @ 3000.Quote:

Where do you guys get "GO" in the USA Warehouse like Newegg?
They had them at MICROCENTER for $199.99 in store pickup only..Quote:

i hope its a good chip :)
i will post more results later because i have to go to work now
what OS do xtreme users prefer? XP64 or Vista64?
also, im using 4 instances of SP2004 with Large FFT and priority of 8 for stress testing. is that good enough? i tried to run 4 instances of Prime95 and it gave me a virtual memory error. im sure im missing something.
Vista 64:up:

It happens that I was perhaps overvolting my CPU unnecessarily. I was setting it to 1.4200v on my BIOS. :shrug: As for today, I'm running my Q6600 G0 VID 1.2375v at 3000 MHz with stock voltage. So, that statement seems to be true for me, but I guess it also depends on your motherboard and CPU batch.
Oh, by the way, it seems the stock voltage on my board if I set it to "Normal" it's the same as the VID. My board's got a horrible vDroop, so voltages are 1.184v at idle, and 1.152v at full load after eight hours of Prime95, according to CPU-Z. My temperatures are 32 ºC (average for all cores) at idle, and 48 ºC at full load. There is a picture of my setup on my signature.
I'll be testing more MHz in some days, maybe perhaps this weekend.
Have fun, and good luck!
I can barely make mine boot into Windows at 9x333 stable (1.450V vcore) on my previous P5K Deluxe rev. 1.00G (went defected). Now, my RMA from Asus got here, which is rev. 1.01G and I can reach 9x333 easily with stock vcore and stable, too. I can honestly say the new revision makes a big difference on OCing my Q6600 (at least in my case here). I'm very happy...
alright ppl. here are my results of oc on my q6600 with maximus formula. i also ran 4 instances of orthos previous night which ran for about 20+ odd hours before i stopped it. will post those pictures later.
Did you mount your TRUE properly? Maybe try lapping it? From the difference of temps on cores I think it has a VERY concave surface... Around 60C is fairly normal on the settings you're using, but 77C is wicked, you definitely need to fix this.
