*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[TheOnlyBaD]

Here is my try
didnt overclock much but at least that is what i need

my cpu is same as ur, i got 3,2 stable with 1.38 vcore u should try, cuz 1.45 seems to be a lil much


P.S= now i got it at 3ghz with 1.3 vcore no worth of high volt and some speed, atlast if u dont bench

[EagleRock]

hmm i think i got some freeze with 1.4v at 3.2 when i was running prime, ill try again and see what will happen

Hi All...
Spec :
Q6600 G0 (dont remember batch) sunbeam tuniq tower 120 (fan sytche 1900RPM 110 CFM )
Asus P5K-E/ap-solo
Gskill Pc2-6400 4-4-3-5
e-vga 8800GTX
this is my results with 3.4 :


NB -1.40
SB - 1.20
Vpll - 1.60
Vfsb - 1.30
Vdimm - 2.2
VID - 1.2625V

what do you think?

You can delete your own posts you know...

I managed to buy a 737B011 off ebay, will update with overclock results when I get it... Hopefully it will overclock like the rest around this batch I hope so at least, because it was kind of expensive...

How much did you get that 737 for?

How much did you get that 737 for?

$276 shipped, because it was in Canada and I'm in the states

Still, it's not a terrible price, and you should get some great results with it

update:

some of the first OC benchies on my Q6600

L740B269 @ 3.8GHz (423x9) 1.36v load - VID 1.225v

Hope it does better than 12mn Prime95
But looks like a nice chip. We have quiet near batches. Mine does quiet same performance with a 3.6GHz rock solid at 1.33v, but I need 1.43 to be rock solid at 3.8Ghz even if it SuperPi at only 1.35v at 3.8GHz. Also, those batches run hot. I see you're already at 60°C after just 12mn of Prime 95 (small FFT I guess!). You'll get much hotter when you increase volts to be stable and after 1h of Prime95 small FFT

How are you guys getting stable 4+Ghz benches??? What are the volts that you're giving to that thing? Is it 3Dmark06 stable?

3DMark06 stable is easy. I can 3DMark06 up to 4.3ghz.

Could you please include the batch number?

[AresOlSkool]

Could you please include the batch number?

Yea I can do that, just gotta pull the cpu fan out as it was OEM so I don't have the box.

[Afterburner]

Which of these cores do you guys reckon belongs to either respective Die;



C1 + C4 = 1 Die ?
C2 + C3 = 1 Die ?

[sesion]

Rock stable, and I didn't try to lower the voltage yet... I'm sure it will run as good on 1.260V-1.265V..
I've also tested 3750 and it looks stable at 1.3V

[MacClipper]

Wow! VID 1.20V - which batch is that?

[Andi64]

Mine has VID 1.3V, it takes 1.43V to prime stable at 3.6Ghz
How can I get one with VID 1.2~1.22? Any batch in particular?

[Psycho_eddie]

@ Sesion

Thats an amazing Vid you have there, I need 1.4V core for prime stable (450x8) with 1.25V Vid

I get 65C loaded all cores, where you get 60C loaded all cores in prime so not too jelous

Normally I get 56-58C, just the test was done at night where my bed does block the airflow (The front fan doesn't have any space to take cold air in)

[Blackoberst]

What batch sesion? Those temps seem pretty high, I'm guessing high ambient temp, right?

Hey, that's only 15mn Prime95. Before saying its stable or cool, give it 1-2h or more first.

Mine would Prime few mn no problem at 1.28v too, but needs 1.33v for 3.6GHz. So, just post more serious benching

Yo dude if you actually look ..... you will see he started at 1.30Am and finished 11.47AM i can see where you went wrong. But 11 Hour prime stable 3.6Ghz @ 1.28V is impressive to say the least

That's over 10 hours and not 15 minutes...

As for the batch I'd need to remove TRUE to check... so not now :P
