QX6700 Owners, please post your OCs here.

Currently running at 3.2GHz. Managed to get it up to 3.6GHz but things start getting a little too warm!!

What were your temps at 3.6? I was OCCT stable at 3.6 but my temps were approaching 60C so I backed off to 3.3. When my next H20 block arrives I am going back up.

[pr33tz]

At 3.6 idle was around 34c and load was around 45c but thats with the fans on full blast. With fans on auto, idle was around 42c and load was around 55c. I'm not sure what the max limit is for the QX6700's but 55c seemed a little too hot.

Well I am finally here. I have been reading these forums for almost a year now and finally decided to jump in. I built this system back in December and I have tried many suggestions from this site.

"THE SNAIL"

All Stock Voltages accept a tiny bump in the RAM from 1.84 to 2.08. This is the sweet spot for me for a 24/7 system. I had it higher at 3.7 GHz but I had to really move up the voltages and the temps were out of my comfort zone; the Motherboard has to cool itself with this setup.
This is where I settled for my current configuration:

what kind of temps are you getting on ur quad core with the freezeone ?

[Raptor.1]

what kind of temps are you getting on ur quad core with the freezeone ?

30 ºC at idol and nothing over 45 ºC under heavy load. However, run all 4 cores 100% and my temps will reach 75 ºC after 20 minutes.

[worthIT]

Wow, that's a big difference between idle and all 4 core 100% load. Do the temps stay at 75C or do you have to stop the CPU from overheating by reducing the load?

It levels off around 75-76 ºC at 100% load, this is where I found my safe overclock speed to be, anything more and I pass 80 ºC pretty easy. The chip will shut down at 120 ºC and that happened to me once running 3.7 GHz at 100% load. After that point "and a mild heart attack" I figured it wasn’t worth pushing it that hard; However if I had better cooling on the motherboard I am sure I could do much better. I found out real fast this chip runs "very hot."

Wow dammit, this sound like the Painkiller himself What exactly is cooling your rig

My L639A615 is currently doing 3.2 with 1.31 set in bios. 1.26 idle windows 1.21 - 1.22 load windows

QX6700 @ 3.5GHz. 319 FSB, 11 multi, 1.39 vcore. FPO/BATCH#: L647F059

Running this on a Bad Axe II with an TR Ultra 120 Extreme with many fans at full blast. Fully loaded temps between 57-60, depending on ambient temp. Feeling the need to water cool (perhaps with a chiller) before pushing this processor much further.

Dudes please inform us what cooling do you use...And it looks like the QX7600 is way more overheating than any Core 2 Duo...No such luck with the stock cooling, I guess... I was keeping my E6400@ 3,84 GHz with the stock cooler and got 78C at full load, and it was rock solid

[D_o_S]

Hi guys,

got a QX6700 here, L648G358.. any ideas on how it will OC?

Thx.

[phelan1777]

Current OC is in my sig, for my 3D06 run.

Will post more information later.



@ 2.9 (I know not great) She will go higher, just don't have screenies yet.

[coolrmaster]

finally got motivated to do some OCing, although i'm still tweaking the final cpu voltage:

hardware: evga 680i A1, qx6700, 8800 gtx sli, raptors raid 0

water cooling: single loop with pa120.3, dtek fuzion, danger den gpu blocks

air cooling: nb has hr-05 and sb has hr-05 sli by thermalright

8 x 437.5 (1750) = 3500mhz
vcore 1.425
fsb 1.5
spp 1.45
mcp/spp auto

temps at 26C ambient: idle 38, load (4cores 100% prime95) 46C, nb 43C, gpu 51 and 54C

[Chosen.]

temps at 26C ambient: idle 38, load (4cores 100% prime95) 46C

ambient 26c and full load 46c? with gpu blocks as well? screenshot please...

noob question.... how do you do the screenshots?

[Chosen.]

Start the 4ple Prime (Small FFTs),
start CoreTemp,
start CPUz,
bring them all close together,
leave it running for like 20-25 minutes,
press the PrintScreen key on your keyboard (PrtSc),
open MS Paint,
paste there,
save it as a JPG/JPEG,
open www.imageshack.us,
upload your image,
copy/paste the "Thumbnails for forums" code in a post here,
done.

If I keep the house really cool, I can get to 3.3GHz 24/7 on WCG. That gets into the mid 70's° C (and $300+ / month electric bill!!!) though.... I'm running it at 3.1 GHz and high 60's° C currently. I've been to 3.55GHz but only for a short while. Get's way too hot at that speed.


QX6700 and 2 X 1 GB + 2 X 512 MB (3GB total) Ballistix Tracer PC2-8000 in a Bad Axe 2, Cooler Master Stacker 810 case with two 120mm's blowing in, two 120mm's and an 80mm blowing out, and a Zalman 9700 CPU cooler. I don't remember the voltage(s), but was pretty high above 3.1GHz.

[coolrmaster]

thanks for the info phelan and chosen

ambient currently at a toasty 36C, i see core temp reads much higher than the nvidia monitor program i've been using, and also since it's been on for a while now i'm using the max heat program from prime95 not small fft's

[catscit]

Mine still runs 340x10 stable 24/7 using a tuniq tower 120.
I now also have a thermalright extreme 120 which runs even cooler with a decent fan on it. With that i hope to get to 3.5 or 3.6 stable.

Even with quad prime my temps always stay under 60degC, over 65 the rig isn't stable anymore on air.

[StimulatedBoy]

Wow dammit, this sound like the Painkiller himself What exactly is cooling your rig

First of all, this is a fantastic chip and runs 4,2 on air without any problems - Stoolmans former goldchip and does 5,1+ on LN2. Furthermore, Overklokk built a singel stager phase cooler into a Lian Li PCV2100APLUSII for me... There is a worklog here at XS somewhere.

[Speederlander]

"runs 4.2 on air without any problems" implies 24/7 stable, at least to me, which isn't the case. What does it run long-term Prime stable on air?
