*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

my 400x9 takes 1.38vcore, 411x9 1.440vcore (actual numbers). 4 core small ffts of course.

Have not maxed mine due to old board....but saying that 3.5ghz 1.45v in bios-air- on an old DS4 P965 r.1.0...can't grumble.

RLM. Impressive result you got there. So I had to give the beta drivers a go as well. Core temp log shows highest temp was 67 deg under the 3DMark06 Cpu tests. These are great chips and although not stable by any means it sure is fun to rip off a few benches at these speeds on air. Ya still kicked my A$$ by 101 points.

Nice one man. I'm sure with some tinkering you can top 15,000 . Just a thought, can you back down on memory clock and up the gpu core a bit?

Tomati,

That's a sweet chip there man

I'm considering a gamble, trading mine in and looking for a new one. Will have a butchers for an L728A. Would love to be stable at 3.8ghz 1.5v.

Thanks. I will give your suggestion a try next time I bench it.

Hi Guys,

I'm new here and want to share my overclock with you guys:

Q6600 G0 L719B272
1,475 Vcore in bios

The temps are too high, I need to do some lapping.

no not really, as some over at OCAU has found out something pretty important:

So, for a 24/7 "safe" overclock with a:
- Core2 quad core CPUs have a higher throttle temperature and so should only be run no closer than 25C from the throttle point.

this was quoted in that thread (link)

ARE U TESTING ON AN OPEN SETUP, I AM ON DUAL RADIATOR SETUP AND AT THE SAME SPEED AND ALMOST SAME VCORE, I AM GETTING 3C HIGHER THAN YOU UNDER LOAD AND THAT ON WATER, AND WITH OPEN CASE MY TEMPS GO DOWN ABOUT 5C, I AM HAPPY WITH MY TEMPS BUT I REALLY DONT GET HOW SOME PEOPLE GET SUCH LOW TEMPS ON AIR, MAY BE ITS THE CHIP, O WELL.

No m8...it is inside...both lapped with a 110cfm fan.
