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

[fornowagain]

When we seek Orthos or Prime stable, this usally means the OC'ed setting will be used as a 24/7 machine. Taking 24/7 machine into account, his given high voltage 1.63v in BIOS and 1.57v Idle to acheive 3.9ghz may already defeat the purpose of running it on a daily basis unless he doesn't give a damn about longevity of the nice new G0 chip. So it's pointless at this stage whether his G0 Q6600 is prime stable or not.

Well it would still last a few years at that voltage, so hardly a big deal considering the turn over of chips. If its prime its prime, temps and running costs aside. Its under water so I doubt the temps are as high as air.

I can clearly tell by the way his screenshot was captured is that he's seeking for the max possible "bench-stable" OC'ed settings at this stage.

All that from a screenshot? This is XS you know, that's the point.

I know this thread is meant for Q6600 G0 Overclock-ability on air but don't missed that his nicely done 3.9ghz clock is on high-end water.

Debatable if a swiftech kit is high end, nah that's a disservice just about I suppose.

I wonder what's his temp are like at this OC stage on water and what could be the max OC-able speed with water cooling a G0 Q6600. It would be nice to compare whether hundreds of dollars invested in a watercooling is worth taking up the OC up to the next high level from proven 3.7ghz+ on air configuration. (Saying this becouse I'm thinking about watercooling, but short on fund )

In the real world 200/300MHz from a decent watercooling setup would be hardly noticeable. Doesn't seem to stop anyone, always want that little bit extra. Prolongs the chips lifespan and its nice and silent.
