*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[S1mon-]

Here is my Q6600 I bought last week. Happy with it so far. This screen shot was from some quick testing, will do more soon.

Batch, L737B

I got the same batchas you man those L737B kick ass... I started playing with it yesterday and didn't have much time but I managed to get 3,2GHz at 1,256V

My VID is 1,2125V

[jammin]

i have l737a806 pack date 10/17/07




my board limit at 380 fsb!

now its time to buy a new board i dont know gigabyte p35 dq6 or a asus p5k deluxe or premium!

[mixx666]

What are people getting with these on air cooling?

[Nazu]

3.6GHz is pretty average with good aircooler.

[Devious]

Many low VID chips around now with the new batches

[Bei Fei]

I got my new Q6600 from Frys BF deal. I havent had a chance to test it yet but I did notice the 1.20 VID . This is the lowest I have seen hopefully it clocks like a beast.

mine is 1.2625V


is that any good ?

Yeah thats nice!

Is it possible for me to get my Q6600 Q0 at 500x7, using Scythe Ninja, and Abit IP35.
Thanks

If you're lucky and have good ambient temps, probably. But 500 sounds a bit high for the FSB.

Yep, they are good clockers

L737B

3600Mhz w/ only 1.29v prime stable and this:



Just testing, will prime for at least 2 hours when find the "sweet spot"

Rbs.

[S1mon-]

Yeah I only played around for a few hours with my Q6600 so I just put 1,3V in BIOS and it booted fine for 3GHz and then for 3,2GHz... CPUz and Probe reports 1,256V, I didn't try to lower the Vcore cuz I didn't have much time for testing but I will test a lot of settings this week

[cnumartyr]

L737A823 - 1.2875 VID - Packed 10/17/07

3.2 GHz = 1.264 Load vCore
3.6 GHz = 1.376 Load vCore

I'm happy with it!

Cured AS5 w/ TRUE + 1 Fan. No lapping.

[rbsmontemor]

It's a good one too

nice
mine is L737A806 - 1.200 VID - Packed 10/17/07

my board limit at 380 fsb its a p5b deluxe droop to much very best for dual core with the quad on it im not happy!

next week i order the asus p5k-e/wifi-ap hope this is better for the quad!

I had to give up my Scythe Infinity to another build. I'm using the Scythe Ninja Rev. B right now on my quad. Prime95 running on all cores i'm getting close to 70C. The thermal paste hasn't set in yet but i'm not counting on the temps getting any better. Your best bet is to get a Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120.

[S1mon-]

rbsmontemor, I got the exact same settings as you 3,8GHz @ 1,376V

I'm Priming for 30 mins now and my cores are hot; they runs in the high 60's and mid 70's.

Is it too hot?

I think it's ok, it's a little high but not dangerous

What's your PLL voltage, FSB voltage, reference, etc...?

I've primed 4000Mhz @ 1.47v on P5E3...but 3900 @ P5K deluxe is a pain in the arse

Rbs.

[S1mon-]

Let me see

PLL:1,6V
vFSB:1,4V
vMCH (NB):1,45V

Rest on auto... I haven't try lower I just selected that and it worked fine hehe

[S1mon-]

I'm waiting for my case here is a shot of my rig atm lol:



My room temp is almost 27 degrees that might explain my high cpu temperature...

[rbsmontemor]

Thanks" I'll try that to see if I can lower my Vcore

Rbs.

[S1mon-]

Cool I'll try to lower my voltages as well... My board has a huge vDroop... I selected 1,45V in BIOS and I was down to 1,352V on Prime 95... my board shut down a few minutes later... then I selected 1,475 in BIOS and I'm at 1,364-1,376 Prime stable for 30 mins

It's a really ing good Q6600, better than my brother's QX6850

We're really lucky

Hell yeah!!

[S1mon-]

rbs what's your setting for 8x475?

I'm at 9x423 atm and would like to do 8x475
