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

[antonfrompresto]

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

Thats an enginieering sample, it can't be fairly compaired to a retail CPU.

[Xilikon]

ruff97, this is worthless as it's a ES sample. We are talking retail here

[Spanki]

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)

Actually, that just confirms that CoreTemp is using 100C for Tjunction . The issue is that it might supposed to use 110C or 111C (or some other value between 100C and 127C - Intel hasn't supplied this info yet). So unfortunately, it doesn't tell us what the actual Tjunction value should be for this cpu/stepping.

So, what I'm suggesting is that you use that option in CoreTemp, so you can monitor the DTS value, as it counts down towards zero when you're overclocking, under Load. If it's getting down in the 5-7C remaining range, you'll know that you're about to get throttled.

BAH, another ES.

[XtremeTiramisu]

Always nice to see those cherry picked ES only serves as a kick to see but not well enough to be considered as a reference for the general public.

1. He's on open bench.
2. I don't see anywhere he has posted prime stable or related...
3. He's on XP OS
4. 1.57v idle @ 4ghz does not impress me as being an ES sample even. This is 1.6v+++ Vcore set in BIOS. With that amount of Vcore I think I can acheive possible the same if not, very close by my speculation at x9 multiplier. But I'm not interested in taking my beloved chip to the beat...not just yet or at least for quite a while.

Totally not comparable but definetely fun to see nonetheless being our G0 ancester ES week 712A.

Just got my CPU! I'm pressed for time and got my G0 Q6600 to easily run 2 orthos @ 3.6GHz. I thought I'd try to quickly see what it can do...this is all i could boot into windows at...FOR NOW Room ambient is 24C...unsure what it is under the desk where the puter is.

[Emerica]

Where are you guys getting all these G0's?

Can you post batch/steeping code ?

Why is your VID 1.3000v otherwise very nice.

Is that vcore accurate?

[graysky]

The temps and o/c vales are truly amazing speaking as a B3 stepping Q6600 owner. There are a few wildcards to me though... tell me what you guys think:

1) Vista 64-bit OS... can you use XP 32bit and confirm the temps under load?
2) Stepping of the chip could have a higher tjunction -- others have mentioned it but I don't know if it's 100 °C or not.

I did find the g0 stepping on Intel's processor finder, but I can't find any mention of the tjunction.

3) The P5K-Deluxe could somehow be reporting temps that are different.

VID say's 1.3, what does that mean?

vcore set in bios about 1.55

To be 3.6 stable vcore was 1.45

I thought VID was supposed to be like the stock voltage.

Mine says 1.2625 in coretemp but I'm using 32bit XP, not sure if that makes a diff.

Okay, so 1.425 didn't work for your 3.6ghz? I'll have to see when I get home.

[Icer]

I maybe shouldn't have posted anything yet cause I haven't had time to fine tune anything.

L723A930

Hmm, that's the same stepping as me!

To be 3.6 stable vcore was 1.45

Haven't gone over 1.4V myself since the 70 degree Small FFTs load temps were worrying me. Need to start thinking about lapping now.

Again, I really haven't had time to fine tune anything and I'm no longer home to be able to mess with it.

[Comminadian]

Nice thread XT, grats on a great chip too. My friend ordered a Q6600 G0 from ncix the same day you did, maybe he will get the same stepping! Good for you and him, bad for me, cuz then I have no choice but to make the jump too!

edit: I will let you know what his results/settings are like for sure if it is the same stepping.

[K.I.T.T.]

Told you you'd have better luck with the 9x multi

3.74 GHz on air is nothing short of amazing!

Wonder what it'd do on better cooling...

[jimmsch]

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...

If you are still in a room that is in the 25 - 29C ambient range, if I was you I would not trust these temps. Your "system" temp and your "HD0" temp are at or below ambient.

If it was me I would install XP and see if the temp readings stay where they are. I am not trying to say you are cheating, just that maybe the 64 bit OS is not compatible with the temp monitoring proggies. If I am right you may well be burning up your CPU without even knowing it. Of course there is always the 99% chance that I am wrong, in which case...NICE!!!

He said his room was about 20C http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=106

[ruff97]

hey XtremeTiramisu is then any way you can show some 3DMark06 benchmark

[KiD0M4N]

Screenshot or ban


BTW... Grats on the G0 quad bro!

There you go: http://forums.erodov.com/showthread.php?t=950
follow the steps and you will be good to go. The signed driver requirement stops Coretemp from working.

[Supertim0r]

almost 3.8ghz prime stable

[ChronoReverse]

Okay, just received a second Q6600 from NCIX (but not for myself unfortunately), it's also a L723A930. Probably won't be much better than mine so 3.3GHz on Air. Maybe I'll test it discreetly later.

I still don't trust those temps. Like I said if it was me I would check it out in XP just to be sure. I realize this screenie was taken in morning, but he has others in afternoon with same low HD and system temp.

says his ambient temps go from 21 - 30++. Even 24C HD and 25C system at 21C ambient is kinda weird. Just hoping he is not burning his chip up due to a temp monitor on 64 bit OS that isn't proper, but maybe I am just paranoid.
