QX6700 @ 4.000Mhz Air Cooled

I decide to find the max benchable of my retail QX6700 air cooled on the P5B Deluxe - motherboard is unmoded so the real maximum VCore is 1.58V ..

Cooled by a Tuniq Tower 120, of course ;)

First the Everest Info

4 simultaneous SuperPI's one each core - each a 4Ghz

Everest CPU Queen at 4Ghz

And finally the CPU Cinbench 9.5, almost 4Ghz ..but runs 3.970 Mhz

10 Seconds, not bad for a air cooled Quad Core :D

At this moment P5B seems the right board for Quad Cores - I just wish it give so much FSB in the 680i :rolleyes:

What temps does coretemp show it running at? Never really trusted Speedfan ;)

Same than Everest - see last picture Everest are temps sensor readings are on the right side

Ahh I see. I really need to invest in monitors which can get over 1024x768 res :p:

wow, insane for air :slobber:

whats your ambient temp ?

What board volts in bios?

And what was ambient?

This winter is quite cold for Portugal standards , should be around 17 / 18ºC :(

That is one strong chip! The temps are also very good for a quad core. Congrats you lucky bencher you ;)

What fan do you have in the Tuniq? The one that it came with?

That si some nice overclocking:D

Yah now thats the type of rig im looking for on air..

Nice work pedro, now gimme some good prices :P

Very nice chip!

tuniq tower doesn't come with a fan.

err...yes it does. ;)

Nice, this board likes your chip. Pretty good lookin 4 X 1M too ;)

oh :banana::banana::banana::banana:, im thinking of sonic tower sorry guys.

:toast: Nice CPU

Any chance of telling us the step? :D

Waiting for it to shine under your cascades :)

Very good Kent. Congrats.

Me too.

Nice kenty you got there Pedro
Good work
I think that is the same one used with the mini Cascade

What is max ORTHOS stable?

Good work, though. Great OC for air. :)

Nice one Pedro, any plans on vcpu mod?

Thats what I am wondering. If it does 4G on air with no mod, I would what it will hit with mod.

Yeah I 2nd that, batch please! :D

Wow, great overclock Pedro.
I was about to ask the same thing as skootyloops since i discovered that on my P5B Dlx, SpeedFan was reading my QX6700 temps 10-20C under CoreTemp and Asus PC Probe.

I'm also curious if your other voltages are maxed out in BIOS, like NB and SB ?
Thanx =)

The new beta 8 of SpeedFan 3.2 introduced support for DTS temperature readings (the internal temperature from Core Duo's) - check http://www.almico.com/sfbetaprogram.php

The readings on all 4 cores on SpeedFan are not full similiar to Coretemp or Everest (that reads the same that CoreTemp), check pic 2nd and 4th pics
I don't what are more accurate..

NB : 1.55v
SB : 1.7v
Mem : 2.40

At these voltages an aditional fan on NB / mem area is almost mandatory.

Dubblepost

nice work Pedro. I hope my QX6700 will get to 4Ghz. Its going on my P5B Dlx tomorrow :)

awesome work pedro!

I will see if i can match it. All my ES's are gone and I got a retail arriving today.

XBX2 rev 505, ASUS P5B DLX both standing by :)

I wish I could get my hands on a quad core.

Wow! That's a nice chip Pedro. What's the highest you can 3d06 at on air using SLI??

Hi Mr. 100K :D

No 8800 SLI on P5B Dlx unfortunately :(

On the EVGA 680i and in mini-cascade around 4.550 3DMark06 benchable - but the QX6700 produce really to much heat for the mini-cascade unpowerfull compressors (temps jump like crazy with more tan 1.75v) , maybe it will be solved with a diferent calibration but doesnt make much sense .. I will test on Ricky's tri-stage since it is near at ethylene bottle ;)

I'm to lazy to unmount the 680i from the mini-cascade to test this QX6700 on air with 8800 SLI :p:

Speaking of Ricky tri-stage - almost ready http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...0&postcount=81 if handles this QX6700 with 1.8v at sub-100ºC can handle everything..

Hi Mr. Quad :D

I'm sure you can do better, this was the one and only quad I test - maybe was beginer luck ;)

Please show the XBX2 rev 505, I have one arrriving :)

very good work Pedro!! :up:

Pretty bold statement there, you never know ^^, it doesn't concern or involve me in anyway but I hope you always have more than 100 bucks in paypal, just in case lol.

Oh, you double posted ^^

To OP: gratz on getting such a good quad chip and high clocks on air, maybe newer batches will change the picture ^^

I am priming my QX6700 at 3.3GHZ 1.3V load, just did a 14+ hour 4 x prime at 1.3V under load. I am hoping for 3.6GHZ air cooled 1.4v loaded.

3.2GHZ 1.3v = 60c full load 14 + hours
3.3ghz 1.3v = 60c full load 10 minutes so far

System:
Asus P5B deluxe
QX6700 L638A588
2GB G.Skill 6400HZ
TuniQ tower 120 extreme cooled AIR
Silverstone 850W Zeus

Pedro, those numbers are great/...How long can you have this system running? I leave my computers on 24/7, would you be able todo that with your system setup on the overclocked side?

i think i'm gonna try the cooler he used for mine.I dont want to oc much...just to like 3ghz
nice work though

Will be getting (3) Kentfields any day now and was wondering if anyone knows if there is a board out there that would support dual Kentsfield?
Thanks\\\\\

There are some different ways to have a overclock

1 SS
2 Bench stable (Spi, 3D mark)
3 Prime stable

Dont think he is running his Kent 24/7 @ 4Ghz ;)

Really nice job in air! Great!

the only problem, is that when your cpu temp is below zero it shows core0 = 8°c and core1=8°c, with core temp, TAT, spdfan beta.

It looks at Peter Rocha, these always there these of parabens. Force in this.

hmm... it's like around -1 to 1 C here.

not to semi revive a semi dead thread, but anyone know what kind of average multi's and fsb people are getting? i've seen the extreme results, but not the avg. i would love to see a average oc with what mb people are getting with what voltage/multi/fsb/etc.. people are getting. i know my mb and qx are getting here soon, and would love to see some stats so far from our members so i know what to hope for

Not that I know of. If you want to go that way you should look at Xeons.

quad 4gig on air rockz :cheer:
