What is the clear looking material that is surrounding the CPU and is all over the motherboard's capacitors?

Was this 1.65v Setpoint or Actual voltage?

I wonder if I should get one of these G0 Q6600s and sell off my QX6700...I have only been able to get my QX6700 to 3700MHz stable for 3dmark, but if these G0s can beat that, I might just hit the Buy...

Is the Q6700, being a non-extreme version, going to have a locked multiplier?

I think the general consensus is that "B" is the best, "A" is average, and "F" and "G" aren't too great.

L639F so you have a processor from the F batch.

This isn't always true, because you...

I just switched over to Vista about a month ago, and have been regretting it ever since. I don't recall ever having so many stability problems or encountering so many bugs even when XP first debuted....

Are you willing to wait about a month for more price drops?

That's a very nice overclock. Keep up the good work!

Ahhh...maybe I should test my theories before posting next time :D

I don't think RAM has any effect on the 3dmark score...

I would certainly agree that the best cooler out there right now if the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, and you can choose your own fan to tailor your needs of silent performance, or high air flow...

This is a known issue? Oh phew, and I thought I had messed up my system when I overclocked :P This problem only arose for me after I had finished with one of my overclocking sessions...Glad to see I...

Here is a good guide if you want to dual boot XP and Vista.

I found it to be a very useful guide.

Hee hee, I can certainly attest to the addiction of overclocking :P

I went from "No way, I'm not overclocking, not even 1MHz!"...and that eventually grew to 1MHz...100MHz...500MHz...1GHz...hehe

Indeed...:down:

Edit: Although this isn't the first time I've seen someone claim a WR with disabled cores...shouldn't there be a rule against disabling cores?

That's Nvidia's "Nvidia Monitor" which I believe comes with the installation of Ntune.

If you do decide to use Ntune though, I'd suggest you only use it for monitoring voltages, temps, etc. Many...

I would also like to add that by adding a +15 temperature offset in Speedfan, the temps (as well as my previous +15C calculations) matched both Intel TAT and CoreTemp's temperature readings exactly.

Not quite 4GHz, and I forgot to take a CPUZ validation, but here's 3900MHz for ya.

(Is it worth it for me to go back and take CPUz validation? It would be quite a hassle for me to take everything...

Hmm, that bodes well for me...means I might have more overclocking potential :P

Thanks!

The purpose of my overclock was not intended for 24/7 use, instead I simply wanted to see how far I could push my processor on air cooling. So I never had any intention of testing it for stability to...

I'll have more concrete evidence for the temps in several days, since I'm planning another benchmark run this weekend. So you'll have to take my word for it for now :P

I only used Speedfan to keep...

I can't afford any exotic cooling like liquid nitrogen or even get my hands on dry ice (yet), but here is what I have been able to do with my QX6700 so far on air cooling alone.

Higher multiplier means you need more voltage? Can someone confirm this?
