nice clock did you get around to lapping the chip true combo?

Suppose i should post a new score too

Thanks karl. New results posted in this thread here.

Yep chip and cooler lapped, Im gonna try and go higher but im still waiting on an order of 3 sharkoon silent eagle 2000's for my case, and a fan controller to control the current 2 on my cooler. Im currently using 1300 rpm yate loon fans (2x intake, 1 exhaust) nice quiet fans, but they dont take in enough air or shift it out quick enough. I ran p95 earlier (again in link) when the as5 cures and with the more powerful fans im hoping to see another drop in temps, and hopefully push my oc higher, still a bit of a noob at this ocing lark, but its very addictive and good fun.

Cheers pneumonic, i took your advice regarding chipset voltages and set them to the following.

CPU PLL, 1.6
FSB TERM, 1.34
NB, 1.3
Also loosened the memory timings to 5-5-5-18 and lapped the cooler and TRUE to 2000 grit. My load temps @3.8 prime load were the same as i was geting at 3.6. My first stab at 3.8 resuted in two cores hiting 80'c, two at 71'c, so ive managed to shave a fair amount off them. 5 sharkoon silent eagle 2000's in the case certainly helps as well

Didn't do small FTT's but did blend for a systemwide stability test.

All voltages stock, except vCore @ 1.34v unloaded, 1.33v loaded.

Hi guys,
I would like to change my Biostar I45 for some better board for my Q6600.
What you suggest which one of Gigabyte or Asus should i get???
I would like to get around 4Ghz stable.
Thank you

setter · 7 Oct 2009 at 20:09

Personally i had great results with a q6600 on an asus p5q deluxe, the gigabyte p45 range are also very highly reccomended, though ill say this, not many q6600's will manage 4ghz, the voltage required for such high speed like this can be quite substantial, the knock on effect of this is a steep rise in temps.

easyrider · 7 Oct 2009 at 20:17

Agree with Setter.

Asus P45 P5Q mobos will max out your chip.

But a 24/7 4ghz clock is rare and the xtra vcore needed from 3.8ghz to 4ghz is not worth the extra.

tommyk99 · 8 Oct 2009 at 18:17

I got three choices:
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6 Asus P5Q Deluxe Asus P5Q Premium
Would be P5Q DLX still the best choice?

setter · 8 Oct 2009 at 18:21

Id go for the p5q deluxe, but then having owned one with both a q6600 and a q9550 im slightly biased. The premium isnt worth the extra price tbh.

Hesky82 · 9 Oct 2009 at 00:28

My old P5K Premium is still going strong running a Q6600 G0 at 4GHz and has been since xmas 2007, the P5Q range of boards are meant to be a worthy replacement so they must be worth considering

tommyk99 · 9 Oct 2009 at 15:44

Ok i go for P5Q DLX

tommyk99 · 10 Oct 2009 at 15:25

OK so mobo is in now how is it with the memory divider on this board?
Any particular think to switch off before oc?

tommyk99 · 11 Oct 2009 at 18:09

OK so for now i achieved 3.2 Ghz stable, Prime 4 h, IBT standart and max passed. Max temp 56 C.

I found these settings on web for 3.6 Ghz, for now i done IBT standart and maximum both passed. Maximum temp i had was 69 C.

Ai Overclock Tuner [manuall]
CPU Ratio Setting [09.0]
FSB Frequency [400]
PCIE Frequency [101]
FSB strap to north bridge [333] this is easiest to maintain stabiliy but can be left auto (if left at auto the DRAM Frequency would be 1066)

DRAM Frequency [961]
DRAM Timing Control [AUTO]

DRAM Static Read Control [AUTO]
DRAM Read Training [AUTO]
Mem. OC Charger [AUTO]
Ai Clock Twister [LIGHT]
Ai Transaction Booster [MANUALL}
Common Performance Level [11]

ALL PULL-IN SET TO AUTO

CPU Voltage [AUTO]
CPU GLT Reference [AUTO]
CPU PLL Voltage [1.54] Do NOT leave auto as that massively overvolts
FSB Termination Voltage [1.24] Do NOT leave auto as that massively overvolts
NB Voltage [1.26]
SB Voltage [1.10]
PCIE SATA Voltage [1.50]

Load Line Calibration [Enabled]
CPU Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
PCIE Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
CPU Clock Skew [AUTO]
NB Clock Skew [AUTO]
CPU Margin Enhancement [Performance Mode]

But anyway i would try to reach 3.6 from my 3.2 and get hopefully lower CPUV cos by these settings is it 1.440.

setter · 11 Oct 2009 at 20:57

Id try and get away from using auto cpu voltage as it will be providing more than is required, what is the vid of the q6600 btw?

tommyk99 · 12 Oct 2009 at 09:01

By Coretemp the VID is 1.2875 and batch is L839A912, yes agree i intend to do
what you sad i think i could do 3.6 stable with around 1.35.

Pulse · 12 Oct 2009 at 09:23

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650
Revison: E0
FPO#: L823B165
Clockspeed: 3994Mhz (4GHz)
Vcore (under load in windows): 1.296v
Vid (core temp): 1.1000v (as per Coretemp, but if you want the overclocked voltage it's 1.35v)
Motherboard: MSI P35 Neo2-FR
Cooling: ThermalRight Ultra 120
Thermal paste used: Akasa Thermal Compound
CPU Temp: 68oc

I'll upload the screen shot in 8hrs when it's finished. But did want to ask, why don't people use Intel Burn test to properly test stability? It stresses computers so much more, I mean I started Prime and I didn't think it was working because I could use my pc with normal functionality, where as when Intel Burn Test is running it can get a bit choppy and results in higher CPU temps to give 'true load figures'?

Mine was a 1.2750, for 3.6ghz i needed 1.4 (initially 1.4125) managed to drop it to 1.4v and maintain stability, the jump from 3.6 to 3.8ghz though required a hefty leap from 1.4 to just over 1.5v, this is where i first hit my cooling limits, 81c on the highest cores 72 on lowest, ended up lapping both the cpu and TRUE, added a pair of 2000 rpm fans which lowered temps to 68-68-62-62

At the time this database was up and running ibt wasnt available, so prime 8hr + shots were the requirement.
