so please post your results ... week voltage cooling .... 24/7 stable please
thanks
yar im interested in all the Quad Oc results has anyone got a link in this forum of Quad comparison ?
Because.......
Problem with these forums ..Look at the Commando thread for instance..you sit there for 2 frigging hours filtering thru crap thats not even related to the commando Motherboard..First page is good after that its a Slanging match between who knows this and who dosnt know jack crap ...VERRY ANNOYING.
not sure about Q6600 B3 Retail, but my Q6600 B3 ES does 3600mhz at 1.45v 24hr orthos/prime/folding stable on Swiftech G4 Storm/Thermochill 120.3/MCP655 pump

I suspect Q6600 OC'ing has been rare to date because they have been priced so close the the QX6700 that no one in their right mind would buy one.
With the price coming down shortly, we should see some more quad-core overclocking around here. :D
Here's what I've found for recent quad-core overclocking on 680i boards which is what I'm leaning towards. Although, with these less than stellar results, I'm inclined to rethink that.
It would be great to hear from others.

Hmmm looks like current generation boards cannot handle quad core overclocking.
What is the maximum temp for a Q6600 ? I see they are quite hot
How can I benefit from a quad compared to a dual core at this point ?
what is the difference with an ES ?Quote:

ES is engineering sample (given out by Intel to testers, reviewers, etc.). B2/B3 are the silicon stepping or rev. ES may be hand-picked or binned to perform better but I don't think anyone can verify that.
A question about the Q6600... Can you lower the multi on this chip (i.e. to x7 or x8?)
exactly the question i would like answeredQuote:

OC problems with Kents are either heat or chipset/FSB related. Lowering the multi won't help.

You've been misinformed...all of the C2D's are unlocked downward. Only the "X" series are unlocked both ways...Quote:

I assume a lot of folks are considering the Q6600 after the immanent price drop... what about the X3220 (same chip with Xeon branding)?
i got the retail version and have it so far @ 3.2GHz and 1.4v in bios on air
it's been folding for a few days.

i got it for a good deal thou. friend of mine wnated to buy the qx6700 and
bought this one. so he gave me a deal on it.
go for max OC :D when did you buy it ?Quote:

Has anyone tried using a quad core in current 965 chipset boards?
What would be the advantage going to an xeon compared to a Q6600 ?Quote:

mines running just nice at 9x401 fsb with 1.45 vcore ..I removed my vdroop mod before i insatalled the cpu. and it seems ok at 3.6ghz i wont push it any harder untill i recieve my chill control back as im just relying on the sensor on the mother board for evap temps..Asus probe and speed fan my temps are stuck on -2c it dosnt change..i dont know why but i would like it fixed..E6600 never had this problem..
anyone know easiest way to get a image to 200 kb without cutting the crap out of it ?
so with vapochill u can only get 3.6GHz??
and how come u only have 50% .. load ... try 4 x SP2004 and assign them to each cores ... not 2 orthos

so im hopeing 4ghz..but not untill i have my chill control back.
im blind atm what i see temp wise is only Gosple.
orthos you need 2 x orthos running for 100 % load..and yes i will run 4x sp004 just give me a chance i have had cpu 2 days...
boy u ask alot of questions...
did i answer them correctly :slapass:
i cant handle anymore than 1 question heeh 2 blew me away rofl
Wow thats awesome! nice one.Quote:

can someone just answer the question as to whether you can lower the multi with an XBX2?
i dont wana run my memory at anything other than 1:1
also, virtualrain, i love your avatar. who is that?
If thats 9x401 from bios youd be better of with 9x400.Quote:

Better place to ask the question is the BadAxe2 thread. At least you'll likely get more responses.
no you can not adjust the multiplier. at least i haven't been able to.
i had no problem running the ram at 5:4 or 3:2.
Was there / is there, a QX6600. It seems like either there was at least engineering samples...

Don't expect any price cuts on any of the "X" series processors...

Also another thing, no problems at all with 4gb 4x1gb of memory and 400fsb so far with initial testing with my old Asus P5B Deluxe. :)
Well, just hoping.. :DQuote:

Despite the mild Q2’2007 price cuts, Intel plans to aggressively cut prices on its complete lineup in Q3’2007, with the exception of the recently launched Core 2 Extreme QX6800.
Hope the QX6700 wont be totally phased out by then :(
IIRC, B0 ES were fully unlocked

Mine does something similar. BIOS reports my Q6600 at 3.2Ghz, when it's only at 8x360.Quote:

The bad axe 2 will not allow you to adjust multis on any chip that is locked.Quote:

Most other boards will allow you to lower the multi and go for a higher FSB.

Hi guys. I'm trying to find info on the Q6600s... Thing is, I'd like to get one of them after the price drops, and boost it up to E6850 levels (only with four cores, instead of two... hehe).
I have, however, some twisted requirements. I don't like heat. So I undervolt as much as I can (I have one E4300 that is able to go insanely low on voltages at stock cooling; the E6400 is not so good, though, but it does accept much lower voltages than normal). So I'd like a chip capable of 333MHz (won't go higher than that) at stock voltages, or even lower, if at all possible.
Would you be so kind to tell me what codes to look for when getting one? Also, since G0 stepping C2Qs / X32xx Xeons are due for mass availability by the time the price drops (actually, more like in a week and a half, not a whole month... lol), should better temps and "voltage abilities" be expected with those chips?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Cheers.
Miguel
The G0 stepping should let you get 3ghz with a good bit less than stock volts. I could run 333x9 on my Q6600 with 1.21v on my P5N-E SLi (mobo fsb limit). I haven't tried it on my QuadGT, as I have no reason to clock it that low.
Oh, man, those words are music to my ears... Running @ 3GHz undervolted is something wicked... Gotta get me one of those, for sure! When you say "I could run...", you're referring to a retail B3-stepping, right? If so, can you post the code? It would be a good starting point...Quote:

^^ Is that a G0 Or a B3?
Stepping?

My Q6600 is a B3 retail. Batch code L644G063
Are you sure the Q6600 from 22/07 on,will have the new steppings?I thought it was only for the new E6x50 series??Quote:

One thing I find odd, though... The price drops are expected just after the new stepping has had time to mature. What could that mean?
Cheers.
Miguel
It is the 27th July for the Q6600 here is the pdf that states that customers (i.e.resellers) should be ready to receive them on the 27th July.
