QX6700 Owners, please post your OCs here.

[nicepun]

Hi guys, I would like to compare OCs so if you have a QX6700 please post your OCs and vcore. Thanks.

Some like:

320x12 = 3845GHz 1.55vcore (set in BIOS) FPO/BATCH#: L644B747

[loafer87gt]

Can't get mine any higher than the default 2.66Ghz without stability issues. I am running an Intel Bad Axe 2 board with 4GB of Corsair Dominator 8500. I get can my machine to boot into Windows at 3.2, and it appears to be P95 and Orthos stable, but if I try to do any gaming or work with 3DSMax I get random nv4disp.dll BSOD's. I was running the default 1.35V, as with any thing higher my CPU temps instantly jump to well over 90C with my Tuniq Tower.

Some weekend I am going to try reseating my heatsink and see if I can get it to at least 3Ghz with slightly more voltage.

has asus fixed the p5w dh deluxe bios yet?

Or is it just 3845x2 and 3200x2

I hate that bug, download CPUZ 1.35, you can read all 4 cores that way.

either way, nice week 44 chip ya got there, the only retail chip i've played with is a week 40. Does 3.4x10= 340FSB on xbx2 no problem on air. Big vDroop, vcore set to 1.4375 in bios though w/ enhanced power slope. Didnt bother with multimeter, but vcore reported around 1.35 under full load w/ intel tools.

Cooling = scythe infinity w/ 1300RPM fan in a case. Temps ~70c-80c logged from coretemp after 40+ hours of prime and various looping 3D benchmarks.

The rest dont really count because they are ES

Sorry, I don't follow!

Additional Comments: I do hate that I have to use 1601 bios in order to use 11 or higher multipliers..... otherwise 3200-3400 is the highest.

he is trying to say THAT when you OVERCLOCK with asus QUAD core ONLY 2 of the cores are OVERCLOCKED and the other two stays at the original speed. Thats the reason why i moved to BX2

That not your qx6700 you'll be glad to hear, that's your graphics card causing problems(nv4disp.dll). What graphics card are you using?

I've had similar issues with my 8800 gtx and applications like lightwave.

Two things. Firstly with ntune or rivatuner, setting the fan speed to 85-90%, instead of auto. I found helped a lot. Suggesting to me that these BSOD are in part temperature related.

Secondly you need to possibly look at global settings for your card(3d Applications), and see if you can find the best configuration for it. In addition I believe that people have more joy with max if the viewport is set to directx, rather than opengl.

I'm presuming that you have something like an 8800 GTX or GTS?

I see...well I just checked with CUPZ 1.35 and Sandra and all cores are OCed.

its a driver problem lol, i even have it on my geforce 4

nah, actually a lot of boards suffered from that problem.

even dfi infinity had/has that problem.

Glad to see Asus fixed it.

Yeah, I am running an 8800GTX card and the even at idle the temps are fairly high at around 73C. Most of my BSOD are when running OpenGL with 3DSMax, as the screen will temporarily freeze, my sound will start looping, and eventually the system will halt with a BSOD error. The strange thing is the crashes seem much less frequent if I run my machine at the stock speeds as opposed to even a mild overclock. Very frustrating, as when I was running at 355x9 things were super snappy, but the random nv4displ.dll errors were really starting to frustrate me. I am kinda at a loss as to why I get so many nvidia related errors when running things even slightly out of spec.

wow...nice fsb for the quad on that board...
may i ask what fsb that chip has been hitting on other mobo's?

480x8 (1.47V) on the Commando, 465x8 (1.43V) on the RD600. The chip just goes in the tank after 3600 unless voltage goes up in a hurry. I have found any voltage over 1.47 does not improve overclocking, even at higher or lower multipliers. It hits a brick wall around 3840, cooling does not matter. I will take 3600 with 1.4V any day though.

interesting, what type of cooling have you used?

All the qx6700's ive played with loved more voltage, sadly more voltage = way more heat. Single stage couldnt even keep it in the negatives


bingo, you should get some xeon x3220's. You would have some fun.

[DDTUNG]

For a good comparison, you guys should really post the actual Vcore under load.

Early air cooling test.

Mobo: BFG 680i P24
Cooling: Tuniq Tower 120 with two additional fans either side
CPU speed: 3000Mhz 250x12
Stablity test: Prime95 v25.1 10mins in so far
Max CoreTemps under SmallFFT test: 67C
Vcore idle: 1.24
Vcore load: 1.20
Ambient temps: 26C

I've been able to boot a Q6600 at 3.2 easily on both P5B Deluxe and P5N32-E, but it's not stable. Most stable I could get was about 2.9ghz.

//all with 9x multi.

Same experience here. On my QX6700 I can get 4200 MHz stable easy for benching and everyday use as well as most games that don't use more than one/two core(s).

Priming (dual orthos) 4 cores @ 3700 Mhz and 1.45V in bios (about 1.40V real) is as much heat as my Mach II GT cooler can possibly handle.

I've given it up to 1.75V in another motherboard and got I've had it up to 4.6 Ghz, but the heat is just too much for the mach II GT for anything other than max 2-3 mins of superpi...

I hope the 45 nm's are coming out sooner rather than later. The QX's are really nice overclocking chips, they respond really well to voltage as well, however they just get really, really hot when you go over 1.4V (real)

[Hassan]

319x11 in xbx2 @ 1.575 in bios
300x12 in aw9d-max @ 1.525 in bios
292x12 in P5B-dlx @ 1.625 in bios

so actual voltage ~1.48-1.52 = 3.5 prime 25 stable under blend/small/large fft for 12+ hrs and all settings used 24/7 for DC apps like CPDN, QMC, and SETI

[Elfear]

340x10@1.42V bios (1.341V under load) using XBX2

Temps hit 57-58C with all four cores loaded under Prime95. Rig is Prime stable for 8+ hours at those settings..

[Speederlander]

I'm priming 2.93 GHz at 1.2 vcore idle/1.17 vcore load right now. Air cooling with 26*C ambient.

i know that a mach2gt (modded) could hold a qx6700 at 500fsb ore 4ghz at stock voltage.

Huh? Link to the numbers/screen of the person doing that please?
