Please post clocks and vcore with screenies.

Easy

Think you should state if they are G0 or not aswell.

What cooling is that on mate?

Just ordered a Q6600 B3 myself so should be playing with it on Thursday.

Mod should move this to the overclocking section.

Anyways im a bit of a noob when it comes to overclocking, if the ram divider is set to 1:1, what is that in relation to? and if im guessing by 1:1 it means it increases by the same amount.

Also what is the best temp monitoring software? ive heard speedfan can be inaccurate...Intel TAT?

Nice one, temps seem good too. What watercooling setup you using?

I wouldn't worry.

Relax and get clocking

Easy slobbers at the mouth.

Brave man with B3 and also I cannot see a better more genuine guy to give screenie analysis

Do you lot keep speedstep on?

Garyj881 · 25 Jul 2007 at 08:27

Does this include the G0? i will be intrigued to see the comprisson.

ReeMISM · 25 Jul 2007 at 08:33

Just a custom set up

,still lowering voltage @3GHZ 1.25v priming this morning.

No i turned it off..

ReeMISM · 25 Jul 2007 at 09:48

Dropping the v-core does seem to help with temps a bit..

juno_first · 25 Jul 2007 at 09:51

on mob @ work so cant post pics atm.
b3 2.4 to 3.55 atm, 1.518v swiftech wc.
Pics / info on link below.

I noticed you post all these *omg overclockz0rz threadz* but you never/rarely seem to have the cpu in question.

Just been reading on another forum about q6600 temps on a G0 stepping, and most of the b3's were cooler. I know it's hard to believe, there's so many factors that could cause this, wrong temps reading from coretemp etc.

But! I've decided to push the button on a very cheap b3 stepping, should be here tomorrow.

lay-z-boy · 25 Jul 2007 at 11:15

Interesting.....

Could be down to the IHS, in which case it's of no concern to me as i lap all my own cpu's.

Servo · 25 Jul 2007 at 11:40

I think some members are blaming his watercooling, which is a swiftech storm.

He's clocked to 3 gig and said this

Storm Block with Swiftech 655

lol the 4 cores are hitting 85c full orthos @ 1.32 volts

Competitor rules
