Golden Q6600

[fatguy1992]

Heres my some overclocks on my Q6600, could my chip be classified as a golden Q6600?

3.6GHz



Vcore: 1.2
PLL: 1.5v (could have been lower)
VTT: 1.2v

4.0GHz



Vcore: 1.344v
PLL: 1.5v
VTT: 1.3v

4.14GHz



Vcore: 1.344v
PLL: 1.5v
VTT: 1.3v

4.23GHz - Waste not stable. Maybe if I not tweaked my MCH better etc.



Vcore: 1.344v
PLL: 1.5v in screenshot, but i'v had to up it to 1.57v
VTT: 1.3v

4.545GHz



Thanks

Golden Q6600 It Is
Nice oc...no...Very nice oc

Thanks

3.6@1.20v?

Damn, that's a great chip
What colling did u use? and what's max clock this moster cpu did?

[fatguy1992]

All of those screen shot were done with phase change cooling

So far 4.545GHz is the max, I need to break 505FSB, but I haven't been able to

Thanks

EDIT:

I just tried a bit higher with the same volts. Heres a screenshot



BTW I updated the first post.

How come i see 1.5v on easy tuner when your cpuz read as 1.344v @ 4ghz?

[fatguy1992]

The PLL is 1.5v, the Vcore is set to 1.375v in the BIOS and drops to 1.344v on the desktop.

If that were on air or water, then it'd be golden....on single stage, seems pretty ordinary

(definitely not bad...at all....it's apparently a good chip, but golden it's not)

[fatguy1992]

Ok, just i'v never seen any sceenshots before on a Q6600 @ 4.14GHz on 1.344v tho.

On Air I can do 3.6GHz on 1.296v and its ITB stable.

EDIT: I just added 4.23GHz to my first post

4GHz works at 1.4v IBT?

4GHz works at 1.4v IBT?

CPU VID?

[Envy]

p u r e golden

[Loser777]

CPU VID?

He has 1.2375v I believe.

TUBBYTUBB over at TRP has been running his Q6600 with the nearly the same overclocks - on air no less - for months and has incredibly low temps as well.

[fatguy1992]

4GHz works at 1.4v IBT?

I didn't try it

I'v taken my phase change off now. Mainly cause it was noisy and I need to do school assignments now

p u r e golden

Thanks

Mine is a 1.2375v too and runs 3.6GHZ 1.36v 12H Prime95, nothing special compared with this. I need 1.40v to 3.8GGHZ. But we are only seeing SPI here

I've been saying to some people you don't need to crank up the cpu voltage to get good overclocks. I'm glad someone has put it up to reinforce my point. But then again I got my q6600 back in dec 2007. Currently mine is sitting at 1.152 volts wih a 3.2 ghz clock. Truly, why do nyone needs to crank up to 1.5v and above?

nice one batch ?

[Ozzfest05]

Is this a newer Q6600 or Old one because all the new ones seem to be crap unless there was a secret new batch that kills all
great speed on the old 65nm quad

[fatguy1992]

The reason I only ran Super Pi was cause i'm lazy and stress test programs are a bit boring. Next time I hook my phase change up i'll stress test it a bit

Heres the batch

L747A437

I brought it back in April last year.

[Loser777]

Meh, I only count rock rolid stuff.
I mean I'm sure I could run 3.6Ghz at some pretty ridiculously low voltages also.
I went through about 5 Q6600s before I got to this chip though.

[ReverendMaynard]

golden motherboard more like it lol.

very nice.

[Ket]

I wouldn't say its golden.. but not average either. Gets a silver award from me

[fatguy1992]

Next time I have my phase change hooked up i'll stress it.

What level of stressing do you call rock stable?

[Lsdmeasap]

Wow, 4.545 on a Q6600! That is good man!

I think maybe I need to get me one of these phase change units sometime!!
