QX6700 Owners, please post your OCs here.

I'm testing my new qx6700 on p5wdh, p5bdlx and commando.
But how do you guys get prime to run 4 threads (and thus stress all cores)?
What version are the guys with the prime screenshots above running?
I never get more then 1 thread!

still working out the max OC of the chip...but my biggest issue is the heat load. Running @ 1.4v with all cores running they'll get to 90+ real quick, on the zalman LED. I use TAT for 2 cores and quatro for the other two. Yikes! Air cooling just won't cut it. Got a nice h20 system just need to install it. Petra has some great customer service

board will do 380fsb pretty reliably in the testing ive done so far.
CPU will do one mult over on stock V, and one more with just a little more juice.

not going to spend much more time trying to eek out every bit of performance on air, but so far seems like a very nice chip.

I wouldnt go that far, as i dont like anything over 70* Defently install the H20 system, i wana see the results!

I'm having problems with the temps of my QX6700, as well. In fact, I had to revert from Scythe Ninja RevB to the stock cooler, which does much better! I RMA'd the Ninja, and will be giving next try when a new one arrives.

Anyway, for the 24/7 work, I'd like to keep the power savings setting in BIOS (SpeedStep, C1) so that the CPU only kicks when needed (right now it's working at some 1.14V and 1.8GHz, with fans almost stopped; when I do some HDV rendering it goes up to 3.10 GHz and the temps never exceed 75C). FSB at 310 MHz is the max I can get without increasing the Vcore from Auto (which is the only setting possible when using C1/SpeedStep). I have overclocked the RAM to some 466 MHz (5:5:5:18) at 2.20V (Geil DDR2-800). What I'd like to do is increase the FSB a bit higher, so that the overall system performance is better - if the CPU temps will get too high, I can go down with the multiplier to 9 or 8 (currently 10).

My question is: which voltage settings (apart from RAM already at 2.20, and Vcore that I need to leave at Auto for the above reasons) should I change in order to assure stability with FSB = 333 or higher?

Nice, and sux that your scythe is messed up, mine runs perfect. As for the FSB, good question, when i get to 333, it wont boot. And i have tried different volts on the FSB, with no luck.

QX6700
Vcore: 1.24V (load)

Quadprime, Custom + small FFTs in place:

Nice? Isn't it?

Very nice.

I used TAT for two cores and quatro for the other 2.
WARNING! Running all four cores at 100% at the same time will create alot of heat, be warned!

Prime 95 allows you to pick a specific core to run on. You can also use task manager to limit affinities that way.

The newer prime uses 4 threads, and yes it does get hot, after running for 2 hours i saw 71* yesterday! Today didnt go past 68*, as i have the door open its and very cool outside.
