*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[gundamit]

I thought there would be a flurry of results based on all the price drops recently. Picked one up at Frys for $190. My first Quad since price/performance were never aligned above the $200 mark.

Decided to take a break from the conga line of air coolers crossing my bench recently and just go for a simple water kit the Swiftech H20-220 Compact. I thought about breaking out my old more robust water gear but I remember getting tired of wrestling with hoses when I last had a water loop on my bench. This kit's reservoir is in the rad and the pump is in the block. Super simple mounting as well. But I digress ...

L744B144 pack date 2/26/08. Initially testing looked good with low voltage, but core 0 kept crapping out while other cores Primed happily. Is that common? It didn't help that my Blood Iron is droopier than ever.

Here's a shot of OCCT at the tail end of the default 1-hour run. Good starting point?

yay finally got my quad stable at 3.6ghz, 1.5475v set in bios, 1.44v real

temps running OCCT cpu test 75-75-72-72

mult 8x
fsb 450
mch voltage +0,2v
fsb voltage +0,2v

That's great!!! Thats about where my voltage is at with mine at 3.6Ghz too. I have tried to get it stable above that and it seems I have to push too much voltage to make it worth it. Since we have the same boards I imagine you will be limited like me unless you want to do a volt mod.

Anyway, glad to hear you got it to 3.6Ghz.

That's some high temps, around 10C too hot for my taste... And it's on AIR, it's gonna get even worse when summer comes, I would so something about it if you don't want to fry the chip.

its 32deg celcius in my room year round, so I don't worry about the temps at all, and frankly I don't care as long as it's stable, I highly doubt it's gonna fry or anything...

Wow, 1.2000v VID... GIVE IT TO ME OR DIE!
