The Much Needed EVGA 680i A1 Q6600 O.C thread

[zodduska]

VLC media player was the only video player that was stable for me when I had the .avi problems.

24 hours Prime stable.Temperature in the room: 17 C.

I used the following settings:

FSB - Memory Clock Mode: Unlinked
FSB (QDR), Mhz: 1600
MEM (DDR), Mhz: 1066

Vcore Voltage:1.4125
FSB Voltage:1.3
SPP Voltage:1.4
MCP Voltage:1.5
SPP<->MCP Voltage:1.35
Memory Voltage:2.00

Ok, here is my settings that I got after tweaking a little bit more, nice 3.8+ Ghz on Quad for 24/7!

Here is my settings in BIOS what I use now - P30 BIOS btw:
FSB 1700, 425 x 9 = 3825 Mhz
HT 4x/4x, PCI-e 100/100/100/200

CPU: 1.575v (1.472v real lowest - vdrop mod soon)
CPU FSB: 1.3v
Memory: 2.2v
nForce SPP: 1.5v
nForce MCP: 1,725v
HT SPP <-> MCP: 1,45v.

And here is 12+ hours of Prime95 on all cores. Its Q6600 G0 L720B0028. Overclocks really good with low voltage



And what is max recommended safe voltage for Quad G0 CPUs? And how high CPU temperature can go safe without damaging anything on the same core?

I wouldnt go much above 70-75 celcius.

I finally have had a chance to work a little more on my overclock. Q6600 from TankGuys, L720B066.
I'm at 3.824 @ 1.525vcore, 1.51vocore in Everest (I did the pencil mod).
I've been running at 3.8 24/7 for about a week now, it will run Prime95 and OCCT stable for 4 hours and I just shut it down out of boredom. Temps with CoreTemp run 71C, 70C, 68C, 68C at full load. I'm using a Dtek Fusion water block. My vid is 1.3.

Not bad. I'm really happy with the overclock, not thrilled with the temps. I have never run any applications or games which max out the CPU like Prime or OCCT, so I don't think there is a problem with the temps.

The Evga 680i A-1, P-30 bios, has worked flawlessly.
