*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[alpha0ne]

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

Yeh terrible is'nt it, Intel really dropped the ball on these cores, only a 1.20GHz overclock on air all four cores 1.45Vcore is pretty bad

I know what he is getting at though, I just picked up a G0 Q6600 (L723A891) and it takes 1.6 vcore to run prime stable @ 3.6 Ghz, won't even post @ 3800 and @ 3.4Ghz it takes 1.46 vcore to run prime stable. My B3 Q6600 runs prime stable @ 1.5 vcore and clocks much better than the G0 chip. The G0 chip runs about 5 deg cooler under load but becuase of the high vcore required it's a moot point and I just wasted $$ thinking the G0 chip would be better. By the looks of it I got a ty chip but I still have my B3.

Its ok Grips, sorted it now anyways, got my chip running

vid: 1.3125v.

Temps are around 30-36c idle. Core #0 and #1 are running hotter than #2 and #3 by about 4-5c. Room is prob about 20c.

Idleing voltage 1.136v-1.152v. Jumping to 1.27ish when running load.

Okay guys, a few days ago I assembled my system which consists of a Q6600 G0, 4gb OCZ Flexxlc9200, and a Blitz formula motherboard.
I have been tweaking and looking here at the forums to find good bios-settings.
This is what I managed to get so far:

The thing is that these settings isn't so optimized. I only get 13.4s in super pi (Or is that good @ 3,8ghz?)

Oh well, thought you could give me some advices of how to reach even higher speeds.

I get these temperatures with my watercooling at 3,5ghz and 1,4 - 1,45vcore and with a normal ambient temperature.

I think 13.xx is about the norm for 3.8 really depends on the memory timing & 1T vs 2T command rate & ram speed.
