*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[xgodxicex]

man after looking at the latest replies in this tread, im REALLY confused as to why my temps are so high on water....



i think i may have posted this earlier in the thread too, but im seeing guys doing super high volts and maintaining better temps than me and im only doing 1.4v

im on petra's elite kit (Fuzion Block, MCR220, DDC3.2 w/ petra's top

a picture of my setup:


its my first time doing a WC loop, did i do something wrong?? the fans are on push, and my powersupply actually sits on the other side of the rad.

Yeah, something is wrong there. I'm runnung the same OC (400x9 @1.4v Real) on my Q66 G0 and it hits 59c (Core Temp 0.95) in Prime95 on Air with a U120-X.

Are you sure you applied your TIM?

Is it the same story that the lower VID, the higher temp compared with a higher VID chip at the same clock?

im not really sure, i mean, it technically makes sense as less vid means more amperage to put out the same power, and amps are what give off more heat than volts...but is it really that much of a difference?

anyone with the lower VID chips shed some light on this?

Is this to say that chips with lower VID will be hotter when the voltage is raised to the equivalent of a higher VID chip?

Very strange indeed!
Makes an interesting situation do you aim for a lower of higher VID chip if this is the case!?

Just go a Q6600 G0, vid value is 1.3000v.

Doing 9 x 400 = 3.6GHz with 1.4v real and prime load temps don't break 50C.

Looks like the lower vid value chips are deffinately running hotter at the same vcore as higher vid value chips.

what kind of cooling do ya have

this is gunna really suck if you say something like "air" lol

Water, D-Tek Fuzion + 8800 Ultra highly overclocked in the loop as well. Ambient temps were 27C when I was getting 50C on the cpu @ load.

It would, the increase in wattage, hence heat. Is proportional to the change in overclocked voltage squared. A lower stock VID chip at the same Vcore as a higher VID chip has to be hotter.

(1.4/1.3)² = 1.16

(1.4/1.2)² = 1.36
