3DMark 06 Scores

Improvement as expected after upgrading to a Q6600.Got 16597 using 177.79 in XPSP3. My previous score was 7000+.

My 3dmark06 scores with a Q9550, 8GB of 1066 ram, and 2 9800GX2s, all OC

Seems a bit low for that kinda system considering this guy here with only 1 9800GX2 is on your shirt tails.

wow nice sush. how many volts needed for 3.6? and what are ur temps!

Thanks Dark. :) 1.5125 volts in Bios Dark but Everest & CPU-Z is reporting lesser voltage than what i've selected in Bios.Tell me if that volt is risky for the CPU & i'll lower the OC a bit.

For temps,see here :- http://bjorn3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25440

Id say 1.5v is pretty risky.

1.6 is where i hold mine , i was told thats bout where max voltage for the q6600 . but you will need great cooling for them volts as well as speeds .

Which CPU cooler are u using for that high OC Raptor ?

Yes thats normal. For some reason Intel came up with the idea of makeing your voltage lower. :coocoo: What does CPU-Z say your voltage is?

Raptorfury is using water as you'd have to be crazy to run that chip 24/7 with a vcore of 1.6v using air cooling. 1.5v is pushing it and I would only set the vcore to that value when running benchmarks.

yea dont even consider them volts . i say for air cooling i stay below 1.5 volts . and i have to agree with werty .

I've found that in Orthos test,temps are reaching 68C.So, i'll keep the speed b2in 3.2-3.3 & the volts under 1.5.I don't wanna change the values in Bios again & again.So, keeping the speed at that range should be sufficient for me both in normal works,games or for benchmarks.

i would re-seat that cooler using as5 because that temp is too high for that chip.

That temp is after OCing.I was getting 32-35C in idle when my CPU was running at stock.What do you think, the idle stock should be ? My room's/city's ambient temp is 30C now btw.
