new q6600

[the_dope_chaud]

I finally got a q6600 GO,
I tried a l746b chip, 1.3125 vid..... did 3.2 at 1.4 in bios, and could not do 3.6 with any reasonable volts.

Threw that sucker out, picked up a l740b, 1.265 vid, does 3.6 at 1.4125 in bios, 1.384v in windows, OCCT 2 hour stable. Will do a 12 hour test, but this looks good so far.

Max load on my true = 69 degrees on hottest core, its frikkin' hot around here to boot.

This puppy rules !!!!

They rock dude, best bang for buck CPU I've ever seen.

I changed my GO out to a new board and in 10 minutes had it Prime stable at 3.2, 1.36 vcore. Pushed it up to 3.6 for a brief minute or two.

Ran prime95 12 hours overnight got up this morning and the max temp on any core was 47C under water. Was afraid it'd shut down cause I had it set at 55c.

Just a word though a lot of times it's better to game it up for an hour or so before you Prime. Saves the headache of priming then finding out the Prime won't run games. Doesn't happen often but happens.

i hate that when that happens ... looks good on the overclock :) but i would drop the overclock down till the temp hits below 65 full load . prefered temp be below 60 .

What other volt settings are you using? FSB NB SB?

[Sh0ckerNXT]

Dam you Asus people lol, i can't hit anything above 1400 fsb with a quad nice OC to the OP.

thats good man!

my vid is 1.2875

3ghz i need 1.32 bios which is 1.25in windows and 1.24load. These boards really are very bad at oc'ing, and since it is NVIDIA chipset :(

for 3.6ghz i need 1.52 in bios which is 1.46 windows and 1.44 load. I still have to check stability with those volts but it did 3dmark fine.

yeah, well....
I tried another q6600 before getting this one, I could not settle on the first one, it was a piece of crap !
I`m running 3.2 now, 3.6 @ 1.4125v is stable with my a/c but gets too hot for 24/7 summer user and folding. Time to lap that sucker !

Btw, ditch those nvidia motherboards :grin:

I have a 650i sli that is rma return, gonna unload it on someone else.
Shwarz has been throught a total of 3 asus 680i boards on his phase.
Nvidia 6 series are not great extreme overclockers.
(Unless you run water on the cpu mofsets and northbridge, which gets costly...many horror stories there, and its pretty mcuh outdated now anyways.)
My 650 chipset ran in the mid 60s on load, 40s idle (with e6600). My p35 runs between 30-34 idle-load (e6600 and q6600). lowest northbridge voltage all the time, both boards.
With thermalright hr-05 ifx northbridge on both.
