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

[XtremeTiramisu]

Looks like I'm having better luck with x9 multiplier. Currently set FSB411 x 9 to get 3699mhz or 3.7ghz
1.500v BIOS set = 1.464v idle and 1.4480v full load. I can try lower the Vcore one or two interval lower at current clock speed.
My goal is to find the sweetspot that's under Intel thermal spec of 71c for Q6600 G0.

That's great to see. 3.7 GHz at 1.45v and good temps is awesome.

[lv_88]

looks damn good, what speed do you expect to stay on? sure looks to go up more and more all the time

XtremeTiramisu, with AI Suite showing a cool System/Mobo temp of 24C, what was your ambient during these tests?

Yup and I've just surpassed the previous 3.7ghz threshhold...have a look below.

Seriously, I really don't know..
But one thing for sure is that I'll never go back to dual cores. At this kind of clock speed : volt : temp on air and times 4 cores, I don't see what's the reason for me to stay with my previous golden E6700.

Good question, with a little help of lower temp in the early morning - 20c as of now
Temps are still great in this current OC stage.

[XtremeTiramisu]

SWEET LORD!
I've just obtained a new high record!

Forgot to load Asus AI Suite in the last screenie...

Details reserved, a new screenie will be uploaded very soon !

nice going there man

[Xilikon]

nice going there man

Agreed, better than then E6700 at same voltage, with 2 more cores is icing on the awesome cake

I concur x3 !

Same voltage, same clock speed but 2x more cores. What's the math? 3737mhz x 4 = 14948mhz (Did I mentioned 3737?...it's not a typo.. )
I really fail to see any reasons of going back to dual cores again...

THANK YOU GOD !!!

This kind of thrills is far better than winning the big jackpot....or maybe not...LOL

is that stable for windows...like, you can surf the internet, send receive emails and just peruse your hard drive?

what was your memory ratio set to? 1:1?

Oh it can do a lot more than that...prime all 4 cores stable.
The Ballistix 8500 tracers kit is actually capable of going up to ~DDR2-1200 @ 2.2v on the same P5K-Dlx mobo I've now. The divider has always being set to 4:5 divider and becouse I'm using x9 multilier and FSB415 right now so it appears in lower than its original stock speed. I don't need to worry about the rams just yet as I know what it's capable of at given low 2.2v

Have a look at the following post

[XtremeTiramisu]

Ladies and Gentleman: 3737mhz per each core x 4 = 14948mhz - The future is here now!



So far, it's prime stable 4+ loop and 1 hour 20min+ and counting.


I can totally forget about dual cores now

[Ace-a-Rue]

NICE!..this is a"G0" stepping; right?

[Icer]

V Nice

Now we just need a few more people to post results...I'll be happy if I can run mine 3.6GHz 24/7. I'll try to post something later today or tomorrow....Come on FedEx truck!

[jeffyjaixx]

so that's 1.5 vcore in bios for the 3.737 Ghz right?

[XtremeTiramisu]

YES! believe what your eyes can see. CPUZ doesn't lie G0 it is indeed!

I'd love to see what other G0 Q6600 owner's OC results so we can come up with a good avg OC as the norm for new G0 chips

That's correct!
And I'm about to increase the clock speed once again, I feel that I can strech the clock further at the current given Vcore.

P5K-Dlx is once again without a doubt the best mobo for quad.

[Spanki]

Very nice - Congrats on the new chip!

BTW, I know you've read up on the Tjunction issue, but it's possible (probable) that was also increased by ~10-11C with the new stepping, which would make it 111C now, instead of 100C. I think at this point we just don't know yet what the value truely is supposed to be.

Could you do your next screen-shot with CoreTemp set to display the distance to Tjunction? - that's the only important/meaningfull number - how far you have to go before the cpu throttles itself.



...of course the only reak meaningful information is whether or not the system is stable at some setting, but if you use that option above, it will help you determine 'why' it might not be stable at some setting .

Very nice.

Have you tried 400x9 at the same 1.425 vcore in bios to see if it's PRIME stable?

Just want to know the fluctuation in temps.

His Core Temp 0.95 pic shows 100C Tjunction.

His Core Temp 0.95 pic shows 100C Tjunction.

That's a hard-coded value (based on the determination that it's a quad), not something CoreTemp can 'read' from the cpu. My guess is that it's wrong (again).

[XtremeTiramisu]

HOLY Sweet Jesus ! ! !

At the current clock speed, it's already the same clock per core as my golden E6700 can do at the same voltage but 2x the core ! ! !

I wonder what's the max clock speed at the current given voltage, can anyone care to take a guess ?!

If 3780mhz is going to be prime stable for hours at the current given Vcore, I'll mark today as my second BD to celebrate...LOL!

A one full round just passed...

As per requested:

Tjunction Remaining.
My brain is too tired to work out the calculations right now, care to do that for me?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm too eager to find out myself so I just did the calculation and it's indeed Tjunction at 100c.

100 - 65 Tjunction temp remaiing = 35c Idle Coretemp.

Take 35c Idele coretemp's value and - 15c = Speedfan's idle temp readings (It reads 85c Tjunction instead of the actual 100c Tjunction from the Quad6600 G0)

holy moly

ok look out someone get you beat they have it at 9x445 on air
