Xtreme Low Q6600 G0 Temp on Air !!! (Lots of Pics)

[michaLcoughliN]

try ITAT..?? ide like to see what that gives you for temps.

And if it is legit im really upset

[PlatoonSgtElias]

LMFAO, how do u explain running your old E6700 at 62c on 3700MHz and then running a quad at 3600c on 60c, you should be banned Making stupid ppl belive they will get a cool cpu.. At least admit that u benched outside somewhere where ambient would be like 8c at night

[boogle]

In CoreTemp, go into Options and select the option that displays how far until Tjunction. Apparently that'll give you accurate temps then (you just do Tjunction - reading to get the actual temp).

Tested using x6 and x7 multiplier:


FSB 502+ = Black screen


FSB 501 = Could POST but extremely unstable. "Unknown CPU is detected, update BIOS is required to unleash its full potential!"
- Maybe future BIOS update will enhance FSB flexibility on quad cores..



FSB 500 = Coupld POST and go into BIOS but immediately blank screen upon loading windows.


FSB 490 = System would hang during loading windows or upon logging into windows.


MAX FSB SCREEN: 489


FSB488/485


FSB480 is more stable but still not prime stable unfortunately.

[erwinz]

for quad air cooling.. MAX FSB SCREEN: 489 is really good..

mm.. what vcore you have tried for 500 fsb??

really nice chip man..

maybe you need to tweak NB voltage and vtt for the 480 stability..

very nice results.. push some more if you have time.. really good to see Q6600 G0 quad on the run..

here only B3.. I need to wait for G0..

[Solarfall]

WOW thats one cool running quad core.. are you getting the same kind of temp readings in bios too..

P5K-Dlx is known to take quad OC-ability up to the next level without a doubt and I guess I'm just lucky that I've got a really good batch. I guess this is a pay back for over a hundred of $ restocking fee I spent to get my golden E6700.

NB/FSB voltage obviously set to the max without questions. Reference voltage for CPU/NB also set to higher x63 and x61 strength. CPU PLL voltage set to 1.8v max.

Dissable DRAM static read control as well...basically I tried everything within my knowledge and experience with the P5K-Dlx.

Yes, please read my first post regarding the relation btw BIOS temp vs Coretemp vs Speedfan vs non-DTS based temp reading softwares ie. Asus probe or Asus AI suite.

I use Asus AI suite to show the idle/load voltages and they're the same as in the BIOS so it's accuractly enough to take them into account. It's also good for reading the RAM's load voltage and monitoring all fans.

I agree,benching was done in 10-15c environment.Surprising thihg is that many people here actually believe thic cr.p!

[luihed]

Whats your idle temps at stock v and mhz? Itll give a good idea if your temps at 3600mhz is accurate or not Post coretemp aisuite ...

It's accurate becouse I update all my OC progress right from the start stock configuration.

Please read from the first post.......

Please don't make me explain the relation btw BIOS temp, non-DTS based temp reporting software ie Asus probe or AI suite, Speedfan 4.32 and Coretemp 0.95 again. If you've followed up my updates regularily throughout the 4 pages in the thread, you'll have a clear idea how accurately are the temps. Although the temps from this and that all reads diff but at least THEY CORRESPOND to one another in a way, and this the key.

Just for Lui, my Vancouver buddy from XS
I'm re-testing 3.6ghz on air stability and it does seems my previous 8+ hours settings are true for stability

LOL OK its official i have to get my eyes fixed well you have one kick arse chip congrats mate

I really don't want to bother making a reply to posts such as these ^ but I'll do so one last time and I'll not do it again. Believe it or not..YOUR BUSINESS.
I DON"T CARE.

All I got to say is LEARN HOW TO READ...FROM PAGE 1 TO 4.
Obviously, you guys don't get one bit.

I repeat, I'll not make anymore replies regarding any TEMPERATURE facts. I'm not here to fool ppl, this is not the intention why I've joined this community. The reason I started this thread is 1. To share my joy and my lucky draw of the new Q6600 G0. and 2. Let those anxiously waiting for G0 OC/Temp results people to have more insight on the new G0 Q6600.

DID I ever said my results is the norm for Q6600 G0?! NO.

In the end, it all depends on your whole system configuration and a little luck. That's all.

Thank You

Good job on the OC, XtremeTiramisu. I should get mine today and expect to do the same OC by this weekend.

I hope we can get more similar Q6600 G0 results so we can generate what's an average OC:voltage and temps like from all the results.

[XtremeTiramisu]

Ladies and Gentleman, 3720mhz Teaser...more results to come. I'll call it a day for today

[K.I.T.T.]

Mate, you'd be better off using the 9x multiplier with a lower FSB. With a quad core, you'd do better if you stay below 450 MHz on the FSB as far as stability goes.

Try 422 x 9 and see if you can get that prime stable!!

Thanks a lot K.I.T.T, your advice is well taken!
And you've given you advice at the perfect timing becouse I seems to be hitting a wall right now at ~3.7ghz. Maybe I should try the x9 multiplier cos I know I'm starting to get near the max stable FSB from the Q6600 G0 and P5k-Dlx combo at ~480ish.

Well mate,I'm sorry.I was a bit to quick to react.I don't doubt your good intentions.

I have been following this thread with excitement and thanks to all have participated in making this information available to everyone

I won't get my Q6600 until Sept. It seems like forever.

OC Status Update: Obtaining a new high record!


Unfortunately, things did not get smooth sailing as soon as I challenge my Q6600 G0's max stable OC. At 3720mhz, I can easily go into windows and do regular tasks at relatively low 1.41v but it's definetely not prime stable at this given Vcore.

I tried to get preliminary prime stable result with each Vcore interval increment and I finally stopped at 1.55v set in BIOS. 1.55v set in BIOS = 1.5200v idle and 1.5120v full load. At this given Vcore, I was having difficulties in getting prime stable in less than a minute run.

FSB 465 x 8 multiplier were the settings for 3720mhz.
I know I'm near the boundary of my Q6600 G0 and P5K-Dlx's max stable FSB overclock, so even with relatively high Vcore, prime is not showing stability for the current OC stage in less than a min.

I'm going to try to pass the OC beyond the previous 3.6ghz prime 8+ hour stable thredshold using the default x9 multiplier.

More results to come



FSB 460 x 8 was able to run prime's 3 tests for a couple mins before it failed, which is a little better than FSB 465 x 8. At this point I'm still trying to figure out whether if it's my air cooled setup that's reaching the max OC-ability for Q6600 G0 or may be that the CPU is near its max FSB OC or the motherboard is starting to show instability support at high FSB OC.

[Xilikon]

FYI, at those temps, you reached the limits. That's exactly what I experienced myself when trying to prime at 3.4 GHz, 1.4v and it failed after 3 hours (rebooted itself). The temps is hovering around 72C on the hottest core from CoreTemp 0.95. Since yours is bigger and lapped, you are able to push it further but obviously, we got similar results and we are just temp limited.

I guess that for 100% stability 24/7, we should try to keep it under 65C under max load. 70+C is on the borderline of stability, hence why Intel wrote a Thermal Specification of 71C in the docs, which might be the tripping point.

In my case, it's about the egg and the chicken because if I want to keep it stable, i need to raise the voltage but to lower the temp under 70C, i need to lower so I'm confused which one is causing crashes (too high temp or not enough voltage). For now, I will back down to 3.2 GHz for 24/7 use till I finish my watercooling setup. Your results gave me a good reason to invest in watercooling because I truly believe the G0 Q6600 can go to 3.7-3.8 on water for sure.

For sure, congratulations on your awesome results

Thanks Xilikon, you've provided me some more insight on the quad.
It's good to know that the G0 Q6600 thermal spec. is actually 71c instead of 61c for none G0s. Intel just updated the G0 processor infos these couple days I guess.

Yes, one of my three assumption is that I'm reaching air cooling's max OC potential for Q6600 G0 but let me tell you that K.I.T.T who made the reply above you is actually the one who's right about the obstacle I'm facing right now...
