just got my Q6600 L724A784, priming now for 30 mins @ 3.6g, 1.5 bios vdroop to 1.4v max temp is 65c in coretemp 0.95. so far satisfied and try push it more later.

Nice, be sure to post back with a screen shot
A picture speaks a thousand words

here is what coretemp shows IDLE at 3.2

At 3.2?...it says 3.599,what am i missing here?

it is coretemp buggin out.

mine did the same at 3.2 when i was testing at that speed. cpu-z gives the right speed.

here it goes!

Wow, another 3.7ghz Q6600! NICE! Man I cannot wait to get mine!

[Sniper.nkc]

Good Job Denden. What was your vcore?

Them G0s are making me drool....

I have 2 on order from Tankguys and I can't wait!

[drunkenmaster]

i feel really left out with my new B3, i've only hit 3.8Ghz so far with lower temps than that last screen shot with same waterblock and 1.55v. what rad's you running. i'm in the uk, but in a room thats 3 walls in sun most of the day flat roof above, south facing and side wall, plus another overclock x1900xt/6300 rig in room and light from , well, a big hot uplighter :p

but i've got a external rad(external to case) 3x120 rad and a 2x120rad in series. two silent fans running on it at the mo, the Q6600 has a 2900xt overclocked in the loop aswell. i'd say, B3 ain't that bad. its a L717A441. not done extensive stability testing, just brief benchies as i try and find a rough maximum speed at the moment.

Q6600 G0 7/13/2007 L723A930

Boots @ 3.8ghz with 1.53V (1.5 in Windows) Not stable though.

[denden]

bios=1.59v idle=1.53v loaded=1.47-1.48v, quite a seriour vdroop

best i can do on air with this ninja right now in summer weather.




cant wait till i have 250 or so to blow on WC just for the quad

nice oc's guys. you 3.6+ crew are kickin ass.

ive booted at 3.7 but it is not small fft stable without givin it more volts than i care to

[strange|ife]

just got mine installed

went right for 400x9, would lock up, even with 1.5vcore set in bios. Ill have to try for that later. Waiting on my ultra 120 to come in.

heres a pic running prime 95 on 4 cores.

core temp seems to be showing correct temps, but iam not certain after reading on here. Iam gonna try to lower the vcore gradually at this overclock to see if it will remain stable at 3.4ghz. I have 4gb, 4x1 installed, that could be holding me back, i was at 3.6 easy on my e6600, but never was stable past 3.7..

FPO/BATCH#L720B023 pack date 07/12/07 G0



2 cores are at 68c right now, other 2 63c..eekk.. should be fine, the paste hasnt settled yet.

[XtremeTiramisu]

[strange|ife]

argh.

nice clocks, i cant get mine past 3.4 right now. setting 400x9, 450x8..vcore set to 1.55 even in bios. the system will hang or reboot in prime95 on all 4 cores. Very annoying, iam wondering if my psu isnt quite up to snuff with the new quad installed. I was able to bench 475x8 on my e6600, 12hrs stable @ 3.6 easily.

i didnt really change any chipset volts with the quad, just vcore.

i guess i didnt get a nice chip.

who else has #L720B023. would like to compare...it looks like the L723A chips are doing much better than mine. i may just send for an RMA and see if i get a better chip

[graysky]

@strange|ife - your VID is pretty high (1.300V compared to most g0 chips that I have seen which are 1.2750 or below). Might wanna do that RMA.

The DFI has a 100mv vdroop? That sucks!!! Glad I never bought one.

I think he meant drop and droop combined, as in 1.5v in bios and 1.4 under load.

[sofarfrome]

I think he meant drop and droop combined, as in 1.5v in bios and 1.4 under load.

OK, I get it now. But he is still getting 50-60mv droop which still is poor for a DFI board. My Asus with v-damper enabled sees <10mv droop.

I may buy one of the P35 DFI boards when they come out but not if they have the same vdroop as their 680i.

[strange|ife]

i think its a real crapshoot, a few people in this thread also have 1.3 vid. and still able to obtain at least 3.6 stable it looks like. yet the guy benching at 3.8, has a very low VID

so yeah monday morning going to call ncixus, and see if they cant do some type of cross shipping. With my luck ill get a B3 LOL

[denden]

Yes this is really my board does, actually how this serious vdroop affect?

It's not fair or "nice" to return a CPU just because the VID is not as low as you expected it.

My Q6600 G0 also has a 1.3 VID. I can boot @ 3.8ghz but I'm having a hard time keeping it stable.

Also, keep in mind that the best boards to overclock Quads are the ones based on the P35 chipset, followed by the 680i boards!

[vblanche]

WOW 4GHz on air...very impressive, congrats...
