Gigabyte DQ6 with E6600 (step4) 475MHz x 9

**CornerJack** · 07-24-2006, 06:23 AM

The first result with Bios F3a and prommy -30Â°C

E6600 (step4) 4060MHz (9x450) | 1.55v | chipset +0.30 |
It's better that with Asus P5W : max 4005MHz (9x445) 1.7v

wow

I'm thinking of getting a E6600 soon to replace my old northwood.

What memory are u using for those sort of clocks?

The gigabyte is really looking like the board to get atm

**CornerJack** · 07-24-2006, 09:18 AM

I have use Corsair 6400C3

I have make new test with Corsair 8500C5 because I use 1:1 (problem to modified the ratio)
My last result

But, impossible to have a Vcore > 1.59v

The PC boot but in XP, freeze ??? With 2.4GHz and 1.6v... freeze bios when the easy tune is open...

I really like this board and I'm sticking with it!

I love the layout, and all the options.

Awesome to see someone running a high FSB with this board.

Besides, looking through the latest Anandtech's reviews, the DQ6 is one of the fastest of the currently available motherboards!

I have unsitall Easy Tune and I overclocked since the bios !

And it's not end...

wow, simply amazing. keep pushin it!

We want more

whats the chipset cooling?

Just a fan...

Nice results there CornerJack.

Is that a Mach 1 or 2? What are your core temps idle/load?

Thanks

**CornerJack** · 07-25-2006, 12:58 AM

It's a Mach1 modded by Jort

No test full for the moment, in IDLE 4230MHz and 1.7v, the sonde K = -29.3Â°C

-29c is core temp? or evap?

Core, the TÂ° of evap : -46Â°C

**mursaat** · 07-25-2006, 02:43 AM

Great!

Do you think extreme cooling is needed to achieve your results? I mean, 1.55vcore with a TT BT, for benching at 450-470 x 9 is possible?

And BTW, the vcore in CPU-Z is still wrongly read or is it lowered because of EIST? (sorry for n00b question, AMD here since Tbirds

)

**Absolute_0** · 07-25-2006, 07:52 AM

Air won't go to 4 Ghz on stepping 4.

**Jonas** · 07-25-2006, 09:23 AM

great benching table, i like it

wow that benchtable looks very clean

nice results too

**nachthymnen** · 07-25-2006, 11:13 AM

Very beautiful!!!

Congrats for your bench table and also for the impressive results!!!

Now you need som v-mod on the mobo

**Pjoeloe** · 07-25-2006, 01:44 PM

dq6 ( P965 chipset ) - no multi gpu ( no CrossFire) , I find this board a little to expensive for it`s features also .

anandtech had a max of 376 mhz http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2797&p=8 . What kind of cooling you are using CornerJack for the chipset / northbridge ?

" We were finally able to change the CPU voltage that allowed us to overclock the board to our reported results. However, we were not successful in truly finding the limits of this otherwise impressive board. The initial street pricing of $269.99 also has us concerned. After testing with other CPUs and memory, we ruled out BIOS issues and believe our board to be faulty. We have a new retail board on its way that will hopefully fix the issue "

so there is a change this board will rock, but maybe you have some luck

**johnsally** · 07-25-2006, 02:48 PM

any pics of how you insulated your board?

**orion23** · 07-25-2006, 03:24 PM

1: Jack, you have the cleanest work area around here. Vey nice

2: Great work! You're one of the few getting good results with the DQ6

3:For the people complaining about the price, It is not $269 (maybe @ newegg) I got mine for $215 @ ewiz (great company btw)

you mean the first in the world

I`m curious, do you have used a phase change on the chipset CornerJack

? Because I don`t see any ...

looks to me that he is using fans to blow on the heatsinks/pipes.

**CornerJack** · 07-25-2006, 07:59 PM

Thank you for the benchtable

(I work on version 2)

For the cooling, I use just a prommy (modded by Jort) on cpu and fan for mosfet and chipset. No phase change on the chipset.

To see pictures from the prommy and the insulation : http://www.overclex.net/overclocking...eurs/MOD-MACH1

New overclocking. Today I test ClockGen but yesterday I have problem with the soft and impossible to use
