*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[Brother Esau]

And now we have 226 posts with no OC results. This will be one hell of a thread once we see some test results. This could be the longest thread ever with no real information.

And I am guilty of contributing to the nothingness too

LOL...But Hey! Nice Avatar sofarfrome

[dinos22]

Coretemp says 1.1625V during idle. 1.3125V during Load (I have EIST on).

*edit* Hmm, wait I didn't set it properly

lol coretemp doesn't change values unless you are changing multies in bios physically

can you set the multi to highest availble and report....could be that it's 1.3125V which is an indication of a possible poor clocker

[ChronoReverse]

The multi is changing because EIST is on. So it's 1.3125V at 9X. Not great, but at least I'm getting 3.3GHz stably on Air and default voltages.

[strange|ife]

keep in mind 70 may seem hot

but this chip will handle it, that was some of the reasoning in intel lowering the power usage, so people could spin down HSF on the quad, it would run hotter, but not be noisy, the 100c tj has alot do with that.

so if mine peaks out at 70c load. i wont be worried. its within spec.

and one could enable EIST to throttle down the cpu, to prolong the proc. I have eist and speedstep enabled on my 6600 and it runs fine at 3.6.

So, where are all those peeps that told us they would be back with results

probably posting on one of the other 25 threads about this CPU

Yes it does if you have EIST on. Idle will always be 1.16v with EIST and the load VID is the actual VID.

my SLACR arrived today.

ill be lapping it tonight, throwin it under my ninja and runnin benchies tonight. ill post in this thread for sure!

Ladies and Gentlemen: Allow me to present you Prime Stable @ 3744mhz results !!



The system has being running nonstop for two days. So far Prime stable for 4 hours and 20mins and counting! Overall this is one FANTASTIC chip that's prime stable on air at 1.4560v and still under Intel Thermal Spec's 71c I can't get any happier than this. (Notice that my Ballistix Tracers 8500 are running below its stock clock? nevermind that bcos it's capable of going up to DDR2 1200 or 600mhz at the current given volt of 2.2 and timings My next screen shot in the near future will show much tighter latency at the current clock and voltage, hopefully)

@ ExtremeTiramisu

My VID is the same at 1.2625v on B3, wonder how they stack up

Good to see you went 9x

My B3 shows a VID of 1.2875v in coretemp... can you have a look at this thread I started about VID and see if you can answer my questions?

THanks!

[louie101086]

i am so close i cant wait to watercool case finished im currently working on my tj07 just got two rads to sit nice in bottom look at liquid cooling section if you want but both rads will cool my b3 aka g0 killer lol

[Mr.Kakarot]

like i said on the ncix forms, nice and congrats.

All that talk about g0s, made me check my email

if I can hit 3.6, I will be happy... anything else is a bonussssssssssss!!

Do you already have a B3?

[Mr.Kakarot]

yea, 2 of them, 1 NIB

lol, long story.....

your mobo is probably holding you back a little too

[SLINROB]

If I get a good G0 chip do you guys think I should be able to at least hit 3.4ghz stable using a Asus P5b deluxe board?

[Mr.Kakarot]

I think you should, but there is a lot of variables in OC!

I have several B3 systems, and all can get to at least 3.45 on reasonable volts on U-120x cooling. The real air limit is around 3.6.

It would be a bad day if you can't do 3.4.

[XandeR803]

Just received my G0 today and put it through a quick run. I was initially disappointed at the high VID but the chip is really surprising me. I suspect the chip is capable of much more but I'm running into some funky fsb holes on my 680i as well as the fact that my tuniq fan crapped out so I'm using a really low power fan (45 cfm). With my coming Ultra 120 extreme which I intend to lap I hope to shave off another 5-10 degrees off that temp. Looks like these G0's are legit.

Edit: Ambient ~ 27 degrees

[michaLcoughliN]

I want a Q6600 now

[alpha0ne]

I........................must..................... .....resist

[idiotekniQues]

my ambient temps are pretty high in here about 80F which is about 27C so at 3.3ghz my voltage is at 1.375 in bios, 1.33v in speedfan idle and 1.28v in speedfan under prime95 load all 4 cores.

temps are about 65-66 load under the above. all prime tests listed using small ffts.

i want watercooling or to get my new apartment soon. if i was at a ncie 21-22C in my ambient, whole nother story.

time to start researching a good affordable starter WC rig.

i ran this chip at 1.4+v in bios and ran close to 3.6ghz with prime going on all 4 cores and temps were hovering at 70c which i dont like. again ambient temps messin me up on air but the chip was plowing through prime no probs.

air is so dependent on ambient. i am measuring core temps in coretemp and voltage in the latest speedfan.




-------would the swiftech h20-120 premium help me out just to cool my quad?
i know this chip has a lot of headroom but i am limited by high ambient temps.
