Q6600 G0 OC

[swtethan]

I got mine stable 1.43v (bios) all other voltages stock 9x400fsb 3.6GHz! I could boot into windows with 1.45v @ 3.8GHz, but would need more than that for stable operation. This chip is a monster! Im on a TR U120x with twin push pull fans board is Gigabyte P35 DS3-P

 

[MarcVenice]

load/idle temps ? 3.6ghz sounds awesome though

 

[swtethan]

40/68

ambients are really high though! like 40c

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Wow! very nice! The early reports on these GO's are very tempting. Must resist

 

[zach0624]

3.6ghz from a quad, I hate you. I'll be lucky to get that with my e4500. nice oc though

 

[swtethan]

70 orthos load is acceptable to me since I am running such a small case with slow fans

 

[MarcVenice]

well with 40c ambient it's no surprise. When gaming, the heaviest I think I do, my temps never go up as much as they do when running orthos blend, or even small fft's, 70 orthos is rather high though Make sure it doesn't decrease the lifespan of your CPU.

 

[Shimmishim]

is that 70 with the 10-15C adjustment or before?

 

[swtethan]

They fixed the tjunction of the newest coretemp so no need for adjustment

 

[brock01]

Fix: C2D L2 rev. report very low temperatures. (Tjmax to 100C)

btw nice chip ya got there
enjoi it

Just got my "GO" in today.
Sux, my case and DVD burner won't be here till Monday.

I really wanted to geek-out this weekend too .

 

[Noubourne]

What Vcore are you showing under load?

 

[swtethan]

I will tell you load volt tonight

 

[Polish3d]

Very nice! I'm wanting to buy one but I'm gonna wait for Penryn and x38

@swtethan- What are tou using to load all 4 cores? @ 3.6 my idle temps are low 30's. I'm thinking I'll need different memory as the asus I'm playing with now, P5K-VM volts only to 2.1, but I'll need to stress all 4 cores to be sure.

Dual copies of Orthos are what most people use to load all 4 cores.

Unless you have set the affinity to do otherwise your stressing core 0 and 1 even with 2 instances running.

 

[jkresh]

the newest version of prime 95 can actualy stress all 4 cours with 1 instance, so thats the easiest best way to do stability testing (though some people have reported orthos/prime stable but problems elsewhere).

I suspect those who have game stability but not orthos/prime actually have underperforming power supplies and when the gpu is at load in addition to the overclocked cpu they are crashing because they cant output enough watts (overclocked/overvolted quads can take more then 200wats by themselves).

I have a nice Q6600 G0 stepping too... 333 x 9 @ 1.1 volts. That's right, overclocked and undervolted at the same time. That's with Ultra-120 eX and a puny 120mm 1100rpm 43cfm fan.

Thanks Capt. Obvious, I appreciate the info.

Just curious, what's the CPU score in 3DMark06 with a Q6600 at 3.6Ghz ?

 

[swtethan]

i will see tonight about 3dm06

 

[firewolfsm]

I'm guessing 44-4800, we'll see if I'm right.

...I just realized how much of a nerd I am...I actually knew that stat.

 

[firewolfsm]

double...

Nerds don't double post you newb!


swtethan, very nice results

I wasn't planning to get a quad for quite a while, but it looks like Retail Edge will feature that in it's bundle, so i may end up with one sometime before Christmas.
