Q6600 ES G0
Watercooling
3,6 GHz
1,5 hours prime

**veilsidebr** · 07-03-2007, 01:37 PM

i have a little question.

Im about to own either the forthcoming E6850 or the Q6600. The Q6600 seems better imo, because i will be greatly able to run 3ds max and most of games, basically almost as the E6850(in the games).

But i dunno if my motherboard is a great quad overclocker. I have the asus striker extreme and some Gskill 4-4-3-5 memories.

Maybe this is a great combo for overclocking this quad model?

Im looking for 24/7 3.6 - 3.7 ghz, dunno if its any possible with Q6600.

Any tips?

hmm... Does that say that your cpu temp is 60C? Thought the G0's would run cooler, doesn't seem to have changed.

appears to overclock much better with g0 steeping

**GAR** · 07-04-2007, 09:56 AM

yup

**shiznit93** · 07-04-2007, 01:20 PM

are the G0s available for purchase already or are you euros getting hooked up?

Nope, we are getting screwed over here. The only one I can get is the B3. I'm hoping that the G0 will be available july 21st. My current PC is going downhill fast so I really need this thing.

i have a q6600 cpu p5k3 delux mobo and a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 cpu cooler ... my question is what would be a good every day overclock for this setup .. i would like 3.0 to 3.2 ghz .. would it be possible with that cooling and if so how would you set the bios

**jeffyjaixx** · 07-05-2007, 08:11 AM

Anyone know if the G0's will hit North America on July 22nd when the price drop hits, if not when?

Also, I have a Gigabyte S3 965p mobo, how is it for quad overclocking?

I remember someone saying the G0 will be available a few days before or on the day of the price drops. But the Intel website was no help to me. I couldn't find anything there, not even any specs. It's as if it doesn't even exist

@Moe, I think we need to wait a while longer... but fore sure it's out there.
you need to inform on a regular basis. I'm informing weekly at random retailer.

BTW hi there, been watching you guys on XS for some time now..

I dont want to stress her at 60+ 24/7.

my room is kinda hot right now. ambients around 75F as we speak.

Just as something thats happened to me, after many many hours using Orthos on my E6600, 10 or 12 hours stable, I put Boinc on to start folding and I'd be damned if it didnt just crash out within 30 seconds of me loading the program...

Now I just use 3D and PC Mark tests (from 01 to 06 one after the other, with Super Pi 1.5 and Aquamark 3) to see if its stable enough for benchmarking.. It has to pass all of them without crashing for it to be stable enough for me to even think of using Boinc on it.. Then its just a test for stablity with Boinc for final testing. I dont like wasting CPU time or dropping work units so I like to know its running ok

Sorry thats just my 2p worth

But have also been looking at the Q6600, seems very cheap for a quad and I'm tempted

Trying to get the most from my E6600 first

**Moe_Szyslak** · 07-05-2007, 01:10 PM

Today the q6600 got 100 euro's cheaper. thats about $135. Right now you'd have to fork over 350 euro's, $475. In a few weeks they will knock off another 100

Thats when i'll buy it. Even if it's the B3. There's no way I can wait any longer than that.

Over here in the UK, they are currently around the £235 mark....

that's almost exactly 350 euro's. No price difference at all. I had expected a slight difference.

frys had this cpu for $299 for july 4th................with a ECS board, ECS = extremely crappy systems

lol,

Hey Gar, How did you get to 3.2Ghz? Did you lower the multiplyer to 8? And how warm does the cpu get under load at 3.2 and 1.32v? I'm going to buy the zalman 9700 with the q6600 aswell. I'd like to know how well the zalman performs on this cpu when overclocking.

**GAR** · 07-06-2007, 08:27 AM

temps idle at 39c with coretemp with good room temp as well with an open case, and loads at around 65-70c......the zalman can handle up to 1.38v with this cpu, anything above it gets too warm for me to even test, this cpu can do 3.3 with the zalman with 1.36v but i kept it at a lower voltage because summer is just burning up my cpu, and for us overclockers thats not too great.....but overall it performs the same as my old tuniq tower 120.

**Moe_Szyslak** · 07-06-2007, 08:36 AM

Thanks. The idle temp is great. The load temp is perhaps a little on the high side though. Im not used to temps over 60. I'm always afraid i'm gonna fry my cpu. I think I already damaged my current cpu. Luckely I'll have a new one in a month.
