Took my Q6600 to new heights!

Nice

What PLL and VTT did u use for that 4.2GHz OC and ur 4.5GHz OC?

**joker_x3** · 01-23-2009, 02:46 AM

if i remember right it was x0.63V and +0.025 i think.
for 4500...
vcore was 1.800V

It was my first time benching with Dice

**walshlg** · 01-23-2009, 11:45 AM

1.8 = Ouch

**xdrift0rx** · 01-23-2009, 05:10 PM

im running 1.280v @ 3600 mhz and im stable for all my games which works for me..its not 100% stable but i never have a 100% load so its fine with me..

also ill be doing another overclock session tomorrow night since its supposed to be nice and chilly

**fatguy1992** · 01-23-2009, 07:56 PM

I can run 1.26x vcore at 3.6GHz and it runs BF2 fine (thats about all I play).

can't run over 3.4 without 1.4v unstable and bad temps (true 120)

**xdrift0rx** · 01-24-2009, 09:50 PM

well, tonight didnt do to much good for me with my new ram and all....i coudlnt go higher than 4233mhz for my cpu, no matter how much voltage i added. i might ahve needed to mess with my GTL's but i wasnt in the mood for it.

so instead of going for max cpu i tried max fsb and this is what i came up with before i got fed up with countless BSODs

**LexDiamonds** · 01-24-2009, 10:49 PM

Impressive clocks with the 680i.... care to post some of your BIOS options/ voltages that enabled such success? Is the DFI board a unique design compared to the numerous nVidia reference design knockoffs (evga, etc)?

For the most part, I've been happy with my 680i, but I know the board is what is limiting my OC on the Q6600...

**Loser777** · 01-24-2009, 11:09 PM

Nice clocks... though it seems how nice of a chip I get I can't break 3.6GHz... when I get a DMM and figure out what's going on with my PSU, it's overclocking time...

**joker_x3** · 01-25-2009, 12:18 PM

my Q66 runs 24/7 with 1.3V @ 3600MHz Prime Stable :>

**tropicalfrog** · 01-28-2009, 01:09 AM

that's impressive. what's your batch and VID? is it new l8 Q6600?

**WaterFlex** · 01-28-2009, 04:35 AM

Awesome job, mate

**xdrift0rx** · 01-28-2009, 08:54 AM

i believe my batch is l787 something and my VID is 1.2125

i can get my bios a bit later today hopefully. and yes the DFI board actually uses the 680i LT chipset, but has all of the 680i full features. it was a weird choice on DFI's part but the board rocks if you ask me.

ho2 old score Q6600 G0 @ 4050 3D-mark06 ASUS P5K

**joshua7** · 01-30-2009, 10:08 AM

Mine is a 1.2V VID one, but unfortunately I need a better psu to clock it properly. 4.05Ghz@1.472V (idle that is, under load even less) the best so far for some 3dmark runs. Above that voltage my rig just switches off when cpu under load.

**Tumphu** · 01-30-2009, 10:29 AM

Im working with my project (Abit IP35 Pro + Q6600 G0 => 4GHz 24/7)... ATM with stock PWM cooling but I have another board where Im planning new cooling atm.

Whats you're best stats atm 24/7 use? What cooling?

**fatguy1992** · 01-30-2009, 10:32 AM

What kind of room temps do you have?

Unless you have like 10C or 5C room temps, u'd need good water cooling for better.

**Tumphu** · 01-30-2009, 12:19 PM

Room temp normal, about 22-24c

Computer temps:

CPU 60c, System 25c, PWM 80c, Cores 64, 64, 58, 60.

Other vids default but CPU 1.315 (actual 1.23 - 1.24 with 100% load), ICH 1.09V (actual 1.10V).

Running 400x8, MEM 1:1.

I havent changed anything else that I just mentioned. Should I try something to lower PWM temp? I've done that mod to use bolts on PWM and changed that temptape to better thermal grease. Also 80mm fan near PWM...

I think there's got to be bad contact... Or can it just be so hot with this setup?

are you sure it's your PSU? my friend has a q9450 and he said his would do the same thing under load but it turns out it was his GTL settings so i started messing with mine lately and i think im starting to get a better hold on it. you might want to check that. (i have a coolermaster true power 850, my friend has a corsair hx1000)

I purchased a couple of packets of ramsinks and applied them to all mosfets and virtually every chip on my mobo that was big enough to apply one to. Certainly helps keep things cool and only cost pennies.

I have Abit IP35 Pro, stock cooling is heatpipe cooling PWM - NB - SB...

I think I gotta find PWM water block from somewhere...

Well either that or my mobo. Don't have gtl settings on my p35. I think...

**sylle** · 01-31-2009, 06:30 PM

prettyu nice cpu you got there

**xdrift0rx** · 02-02-2009, 07:02 PM

Thanks sylle, and joshua7 try benching one night in the cold, see if you get any improvements

**~~KELL5~~** · 02-08-2009, 02:43 AM

-7c this morning.....got a slight increase in FSB
