Well, I got my q6600 semi-stable at 3.8ghz. It will run prime95 without errors for about 3 hrs and then it will crash and reboot around the 3 hr mark. It requires 1.58vcore (actual) to do this...

Giacomo and DDTUNG,

What FSB (CPU VTT) and NB voltages are you running to get your cpu's to 3.8GHZ? My q6600 is still failing prime95 at 422x9 within minutes (almost always core 0 fails) at 1.57...

I've tried to get a generally accepted ceiling vcore value for 24/7 use (if there is such a thing) on the q6600. I thought I've seen 1.55v listed once or twice, but I'm not sure what most people...

Nice!!! Do you know the batch# or VID of your star performer?

Just curious- anyone have good luck so far with the new L8xx batches?

I agree with TheOmen. I'm currently in the same situation as you are- trying to get my q6600 to 3.8Ghz prime stable. I am watercooling too, and temps under load are not an issue yet (I'm using the...

I wondered if anyone else noticed this. On my evga 680i I ran an e6850 at 450x9 with cheap ram set linked and synced (900mhz at 5-5-5-15) with no tweaking involved, and my everest read scores were...

Hey TheOmen,

I just now noticed in your sig that you are using the Striker- I've got the EVGA 780i. On the EVGA, the highest NB (SPP) voltage is 1.55v. And there is no bios setting for CPU PLL...

If you get a good batch apparently- Jor3lBR posted a link to a discussion about some known favorable batches a page ago on this thread.

Oh wait a minute, 1.8v PLL, not vcore? (Sorry, I misread your post- my bad). I don't even know if the 780i has a CPU PLL setting in the bios.

I thought that at least pertaining to 45nm chips,...

Haven't tried the chip on another board, but the 780i has a max NB volt setting of 1.55 I think, and I've used that. The VTT (FSB on 780i) is at 1.4v, and I have increased the HT volts too. I'm a...

Hey Jor3lBR,

Thanks for the info! I'll see if I can find any from the desirable batches at the local brick and mortar purveyors:up:!

On a semi-related topic- isn't Intel cutting CPU prices...

It's definitely not what I would consider a winner of a chip. I thought I would take a chance that all of the L8xx batch might not be such overclocking duds. I just didn't think I would get such a...

I just received my q6600- I was afraid I was going to get one from the L8xx batch, and I did:down: , but the price (online only-not honored in store) of $180 was too tempting.

The VID is 1.325...
