*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[no_n|ck]

love this chip, i think it will go even higher with this volts -> 1.53V (1.504 after vdroop) / 1.55V in bios ..

[MacClipper]

hmm, CPU-Z 1.41.0 - new beta?

[sdumper]

Wow! Can you post the same screenshot where it show's correct voltage? Cooling?

If true it's definitely very impressive running on P965 chipset.

Looks like SS to me based off his sig...

[BigRigDriver]

Heres mine that I got yesterday from ClubIT. I can prolly push it higher with more volts as I have the Zalman 9700NT.

[sdumper]

Can you try dual orthos and show TAT temps?

the voltage was 1.43 as measured with Dmm, board is fully voltmodded, Cooling Single Stage evap temp unload -40C, will have a go this weekend, today it was fit and quick test, don't know why cpuz cantwork the voltage

dude, you do realize you are only stressing 2 cores from what i see in your ss.
you will have to use 2 instances of orthos, or use prime95.
btw what week is it?

[G H Z]

My 8hr run was small fft's for max. heat load.....

FYI, in place generates the most heat

[no_n|ck]

mine is realy nicely scaling up, but will not try with higher volts, at least for now..

[periquitos]

just got my L726A343 I bought from Ebay. Very happy so far! Didn't tested a lot , just 1hr of orthos ... tested at 3200mhz (356 x 8) , auto settings for vcore (default vid is 1.2875v)... big vdrop: 1.264 to 1.232v , Giga 965 ds3... on air , intel HSF !! this cpu appears to be a keeper.

need to buy better ram , the maximum this corsair VR ram run is about 390mhz.

[BigRigDriver]

Hey guyz...I broke my 680i....I went to switch for faster RAM & the darn thing wont post in all but the last dimm

[nugzo]

In place generates the most overall system heat. Small fft definitely generates more CPU heat.

My first aggressive OC since they moved from mobo jumpers to BIOS:


I did this in about 15 minutes. I have NOT tested for stability. Just testing to see if it will post and the temps. So I guess the REAL temps are

CPU: 57*C
Cores: 51*C,51*C, 50*C, 50*C

I am using a triple rad w/ not the best fans (waiting for san ace's to arrive) and a D-tek fuzion.

forgot to mention that the maximum temp in coretemp was 61C , while my room is at 25C.

OFFTOPIC: do you know guys , will I need to reinstall the OS and all the APPS after upgrading from a dual to a quad core? I was testing in 3dsmax8 and only exact 50% cpu was working while rendering. Tested in After Effects 7 with the same results. These softwares are working like they was with the dual core cpu !!!

[icon57]

not much software is coded for quads yet...

[sdumper]

True but you know what thats the same thing we were saying when dual cores came out and some folks were still running single cores

[periquitos]

I believe that 3dsmax is , just don't know whats happening!

[nugzo]

I believe that 3dsmax is , just don't know whats happening!

make sure all 4 cores are enabled in bios. Sometimes with my 680i when switching between dual and quad core, sometimes cores 3 and 4 will be disabled in bios.

[lv_88]

not much no, BUT, 3dsmax and maya for instance can handle ALOT more than 4 cores

hmm at 1.45 and also a clubit purchase week 23 at 3.6 folding all 4 cores im hitting 67c.

Oh yeah and this is with a high speed fan blowing across a V1 with AC set at 70f...

If your running air that's pretty damn good.

[Ace-a-Rue]

here is my best overclock 3.9 Ghz and everest stable...voltages are a bit high for my liking...with way less voltage for vcore, cpu vtt, mch and ichio 1.5v, i can live nicely at 3.84Ghz.

currently outside of the case...probably the temps will increase about 3C for cpu temp after putting inside the case...but...on the other hand, the vcore will be 0.04v less.

[Gunlance]

Awesome Ace. I need to get me a P35 board

[sdumper]

why?

Im using a p5k deluxe and it can go high but try stressing 4 cores ... and no hype guys please....I mean stressing 4 cores at 1.45 on air cooling not water and a modest oc like 3.6 or so.

Im a little angry right now because i sold a perfectly good B3 because i bought into all the G0 hype and am very disappointed. I wanted a solid 24x7 air folder at 3.6

While you are only full loading the CPU at 50% with one ortho
try prime95 25.3, it supports multi-threads
