Q6600 B3 ES @4009Mhz - Asus P5K Deluxe + 14-18C ambients

[eva2000]

Winter is truly here in Brisbane Australia tonight

Normal night time room ambients = 25-30C
Tonight room ambients = 14-18C

Corsair Nautilus 500 external water cooling gets a reversible modification. At first I tried to replace the stock 120x25mm 44cfm fan, but it uses very small Torx screws to hold the fan in place so couldn't replace the fan. So I removed the entire lid, grabbed one of my Thermochill HE120.3 single 120mm fan shrouds and a Spire 120x25mm 96cfm fan and sat it on the radiator itself

This is how it turned out and the Asus P5K Deluxe setup.







Resulted in low 30-40ish idle coretemps in windows for the whole bench session

Just doing some super pi runs for now. Will try wprime as well if I'm lucky to get similar cold ambient temps tomorrow

cpuz validation



I had 4021Mhz but system rebooted before i could save cpuz validation

But bloody fast Super Pi 32M times for a Quad core kentsfield B3 step cpu considering they're slower clock for clock then Core 2 duo dual core B2 stepping cpus for single instance Super Pi

sweet!!!! 4ghz on a quad core who doesn't want that! very good work!

[dinos22]

are you sure quads are slower
some people are saying they are a touch faster
i would say that's the case for sure after looking at those times

lol dinos, were you reading my mind?

[fhpchris]

I would be alot more excited about 500 fsb than a 4000mhz validation at 14c, but it looks like you have an above average Q6600

[dinos22]

i'll be pulling apart mine as well...............just trying to get a cheap radiator

looks like the pump is a DDC-2 as well

Someone who doesn't want a PC stable for more than CPU-Z and MS paint?

I've done this too, 4 GHz is indeed bootable, paintable, without even voltmodding my board.. and I think this is the case for many q6600s with the right board and decent cooling. get it to shrink a dvd at that speed, with a multithreaded encoder, and watch what happens.

yeah for single instance super pi B3 slower than B2 from my testing, dual super pi B3 wipes the floor with B2 though

hehe yeah my Q6600 is 24/7 prime stable/folding stable @3600Mhz at 1.45v on P5B Deluxe

[fhpchris]

hehe yeah my Q6600 is 24/7 prime stable/folding stable @3600Mhz at 1.45v on P5B Deluxe

I am only saying you need to run some wprime and I know you have a higher validation in you with your skills

[eva2000]

have to wait until later tonight ... room temp right now 25.8C hehe

[Luis_GT]

hehe yeah my Q6600 is 24/7 prime stable/folding stable @3600Mhz at 1.45v on P5B Deluxe

Thats great! Wish I could do that with my QX, but room temps averaging 30+C here, its not easy, and my ghettoed Water chiller falls back after 1hour of prime with 30C water temp... aside that 1.45v = 1.35-1.31v on my board

[eva2000]

3600Mhz at 1.45v is in 28-33C room temps stable

[Luis_GT]

And whats Your Vdroop like... mine is outrousious. I run 3.2Ghz 24/7 @ 1.31 set in bios, which translate to 1.22-1.21 real volts under full load. 1.26-1.27 idle.

18C winter

Sweet time @ 3.6Ghz considering it is P35

[Leeghoofd]

Very nice indeed mister George, though man you really need a proper bench setup this is messy (even for me )

0.01v droop with P5K Deluxe due to CPU voltage damper enabled in bios (no droop )

hehe i haven't seen such cold winter temps in over 14+ months.. last winter was pretty warm above 20C for me.

hah that i consider tidy.. you should see my other rigs (i don't use cases hehe)





Well not as cold as last night but couldn't wait until 2AM - 5AM for colder temps

Wprime 32M @3977Mhz at 1.6375v bios

Managed to pull off wprime 32M @3977Mhz - took three runs to get it to pass hehe



Everest Bandwidth at those clocks



Wprime 32M + 1024M @3920Mhz at 1.6375v bios set



Trying 1024M higher but errors crop up all over the place in wprime right now

Ah, no wonder... Guess its time to upgrade

[SWAT9112]

sure is winter is good for oc but here in Aus only in morning or night

[Solarfall]

ah... the wonders eva2000 you could do with finish winter air... it often gets sub -30c over here D:
