Just wondering how many of you have a low vid 1.2 Q6600 cpu the one that came with my abit ip 35 pro bundle is 1.3250 the highest and sadly prob the worse for O/Cing,the guide Overclockers sent me Granunteed to clock to 3.3ghz,i have mine stable ish(3 hours prime) @3ghz but 3.3ghz no way i have the cpu core voltage higher than the guide states and prime fails straight away.I dont really want to put 1.6v through this chip to hit 3.3

At 3ghz coretemp shows 60c highest temp if i did get prime stable @3.3ghz temps would be excessive to say the least. that said a few peeps have hit 3.6
depite the high vid but heat is a big issue.
How many lucky ones got the 1.2 vid and how many unlucky ones got 1.3250v
 
I have two, one very low and the second like yours. 1.325, it still does 3.8 with high vcore, 1.55. 3.6 at 1,44 and is prime stable at both. So don't give up hope.

Even when loaded, it never goes above 56-60 depending on the weather.
 
1.3V B3 - does 3Ghz at stock no problem but so far only managed 3.33Ghz 1.43V, can go abit higher on air but the temp is very sensitive to any slight voltage/clockspeed increase so it's just not worth it.
 
1.325 here too, although it sits fine at 3.6 with a slight voltage increase. The VID doesn't really reflect how good a clocker it is.
 
have you dropped the Multiplier down to 8x, and then incresed your FSB? do you have PC6400 ram ? i just bought a Q6600 with 1.325vid and it clocked to 3.2Ghz without having to touch the voltage. At 3.3Ghz with standard voltage one of the cores fail the Prime, but im sure a little voltage increase will sort that :-)
 
People are probably going to jump all over me for saying this, but in my experience VID has no correlation to the kinds of clocks I get.

I had a 1.325 VID B3 quad that did 3.86ghz with watercooling at 1.48v.....had a g0 quad that had a 1.275 VID and it did 4.05ghz benchable with 1.55v, and 3.8ghz stable.

Now I have a quad with a 1.3125VID and it is currently at 3737mhz with 1.465vcore....it also did 3.2ghz on 1.26v
 
1 month old g0 retail 1.275 vid. currently running at 3600 stable with 1.462 (1.41 100%load after vdroop) havent tried clocking higher, happy with 9x400 with temps max around 62 on a warm day.
 
1.2625 on mine but if you wait a couple I have a graph of most of the clocked Q6600's on the quadcore database showing VID vs Vcore for certain clock speeds
 
Ok... what does the graph show..

Basically it was all the clocks on the quadcore database as at January time, the solid blue line shows the average Vcore (in windows under load) needed to reach a certain clock speed... the solid Pink like shows a VID adjustment.. basically this shows the Vcore needed for the average VID CPU (1.27VID) from memory... i.e you VID is lower than 1.27 you probably need less than the graph, if its higher you probably need more.. I added some trend type lines as well...

in regards to the results you need to keep in mind some are from 1 or 2 clocks only where as others 3.6ghz for example is from maybe 15 - 20 clocks therefore I dont claim that these figures are totaly acutrate! but maybe useful as a guide

1.2v :D, still not overclocked, fast enough for me at stock.

my Q6600 has a vid of 1.2375 had to go through 5 before i found this gem :D

does 3.6 @ 1.36-1.4 (still testing) and 4.05 @ 1.5-1.55

temps where a problem at first in this hot weather but i lapped it and my TRUE and dropped the temps by 10c

after 15+ hours of prime max temp was 69c and that was on the hottest day in the UK so far

the 4 Q6600s i had before my current one all had a VID of 1.325 and none of them could do 400x9 and i tried all the way up to 1.55 but most of them did up to 3.3~3.4 at near enough stock volts :confused:

understand what your saying tho I've seen loads of 1.325 VIDS clock well but the majority don't

it makes me cry that you have a potentially great clocking chip and your leaving it at stock :(

fancy a swap ill give you a brand new q6600 sealed for that one
