Q6600

[darkorb]

i get 17seconds on super pi at 3ghz.

3.6ghz i get 15 seconds.


i need 1.29volts for 3ghz, which is 1.24volts in windows stable

i need 1.5volts for 3.6ghz, which is 1.45 volts in windows still testing

in 3dmark, i get 12,300 with 3 and 12,700 3.6 ghz. CPU score went up from 4200 to 4900.

ill try some other games n **** to see how im doing. and is 1.5 volts too high?

my temps are actually resonable. 60/58/51/56 full load in prime 95. gotta test for stability now

[Raptorfury]

your tems look good getting close to max temp .

What matters is your actual voltage after Vdroop. For example to get 1.45 volts actual on my board, I set it to 1.45, so perfectly ok, however without loadline calibration enabled, I have to set my voltage to 1.55 to get 1.45! The chip is still only getting 1.45, temps won't be effected, its just that I have to set it higher for it to actually give it that much.

Also 65nm chips can handle 1.55-1.6 volts pretty well. The only thing you have to worry about, is keeping her cool.

What are you using to monitor temps? They seem really low, even for a water cooler.

his temps look a spot on . idling i am 33 , 30 , 34 , 35 . i need to run a full load test . @ 3.6 gighz @ 1.425 volts . i do know @ 3.888 gighz my full load temps were in the 63 range . i will say safly you can get into the 1.6 volt range but these chips do get warm @ them voltages .

These chips do pretty well in the 1.5 to 1.6 area. Heat is the big thing when the voltage is in this area and you seem to be doing really well. I have seen higher voltages running 24/7 and the chip still continues to keep on ticking. After 1.5 though the temps start to rise sharply. 1.5 to 1.55 is the very sweet spot with adequate cooling.

im not gonna be 24/7, and it isnt under water, im using OCZ Vendetta 2.

it wasnt stable at 1.5volts, im gonna try 1.51-1.52 which is 1.46 in windows and lower under load.

keeping it at 3ghz though until i get some sort of AC for my room, the house ac ain't strong enough for my comp lol..

[bobletman]

wow thats pretty nice I have mine set to 3 ghz, exact same voltage but cooler temps.

[Raptorfury]

@ 1.5 - 1.525 should be able to hold ya @ 3.6 gighz

[trueg50]

What program are you using to read those temps?

[darkorb]

coretemp, everest ultimate 4.5

[trueg50]

coretemp, everest ultimate 4.5

Your reading what it says for "CPU #1/ core 1 -4" right? As the "CPU" reads almost exactly 15 degree's too low.

ie, each core for me reads 50 degree's right now, however "CPU" reads 36.

[darkorb]

yea i no lol
