The Intel Quadcore Database

w3bbo · 15 Sep 2007 at 12:34

After waiting for eternity for the other thread in the cpu section to get a database going I thought I'd have a go at making one myself.

You must include :

CPU
Revison
FPO#
Clockspeed
Vcore (under load in windows)
Vid (core temp)
Motherboard
Cooling
Thermal paste used
CPU Temp

Your CPU MUST be 8+hours stable for entry to be made.
Also include a screenshot showing :
P95 25.2 or above fully loaded on all 4 cores(running small fft's) (ensure to show the time started in the first box).
CPU-z 1.41
Coretemp or everest for temp validation

If your post dosn't include the above then it won't be entered

Please no arguments regarding whats stable and what isn't - I'll make a suicide/PI thread later for those who hate prime. 8 Hours is widely accepted as an indication of a stable cpu - if you don't agree don't bother posting

Do not QUOTE others screenshots as this makes sifting through the posts a nightmare.

I'll try and update at the least every 48 hours or as and when required but please understand I have a life too

well thought I would update you on the vcore graphs which now include all Q6600 8 Hour+ Primestable overclocks here and at XS on Air and Water... Clocks that I know are duplicates I have removed

So first graph shows the actual windows load vcore require for the clock (Blue Line) and then an adjustment based on the VID of the CPU.. (Orange Line) i.e. the amount that the average VID CPU requires of the clock.. The average VID is currently: 1.25769

Karl this next one is what I think you were asking for... its showing the extra vcore required over the VID to reach the clock

ill add mine later, looks liek a good idea tho m8

w3bbo · 15 Sep 2007 at 12:57

If nothing else it will help folk grasp an indication of what there stepping is capable of instead of the countless 'how far will my cpu clock' threads. That is, aslong as we get enough entries.

Here's mine w3bbo...cpu-z valid also is in sig.

N1 m8 - Updated

V|per · 15 Sep 2007 at 16:44

aah, i know what i'll be doing tonight.

Boots at 4ghz, but so far i have a 3.6ghz stable q6600 G0 'b' I'm pretty sure i can get it to 3.8, but it's going to need a rather hefty voltage bump, the vdroop on this board is aweful.. i really should be thinking about getting one of those loverly abit ip35 pros...

EDIT: i'm cluttering up this thread now :\ I'll edit this post with my results tomorrow rather than posting more...

w3bbo · 15 Sep 2007 at 16:54

Discussion is fine here m8, we are here to help each other afterall and it aint a problem now we have a database so clutter all you like

. It isn't a 1 time entry thing either, I'll update any entries upon request

That's a damn nice clock for a P965 board.

Thanks Cob....although it is a good clock for this board i cannot test my chip to see just how good it is...as 400fsb is a no go...even if i lower the multi.

w3bbo · 15 Sep 2007 at 17:49

The clockspeed attained for your vcore and board is exceptional - would love to see whats its capable of in a more suitable board.

Me too w3bbo....I'm just gagging to get a new board....just a case of which one.

Guys,

Nice idea with the database currently running my stress tests so hopefully will be ok runing 3.4 with a q6600.

Just an idea as you have now stated the database could you add fields like what settings was used so that ppl with similar cpu and board know what to set to achieve similar results ?

Nice work guys

PS. I am currently using 1.47v for cpu in bios and fsb at 380 * 9 now i think i could push voltage to say 1.55v and fsb to 400 giving me 3.6ghz but my temp may reach 75c as currently its averaging 65-70 for 3.4 during my stress testing.

So can I push it a little further to get 3.6 and use 1.55v with temps around 75c?? I am on air cooling using a zalaman 9500

As I dont know what is the max temp to go without damaging anything.

If a CPU fails in Prime, one of the cores stops processing the data does it generally mean more volts are needed / maximum CPU potential has been reached?

Just trying to see what I can get with my B3 on air, 3.2ghz with 1.35v BIOS but 1.30v in windows. That gets temps into low 60s under load! Really do need water to get far on the B3 chips, might get a G0 and then WC setup in a few months

I really wouldn't consider 1.55v on air. Your temps will probably be closer to 90c than 75c, and the CPU will probably start to throttle once it gets over 85c.

Try 1.485 and see how hot it gets.

Yip more volts needed.

I would accept 70c under air during Prime as it heats the cores a good 7-8c more than anything else.

Its difficult to collate all that info as each motherboard has different settings. One thing that is common and usually has the most bearing is the Vcore (included). I guess I could put NB voltage too if folk want to add that.
