So my B3 q6600 arrived today.

Popped it in...set vcore to 1.475, multi to 8x, FSB to 452...it passed 30 min of Prime95...although things are a bit toasty. Vcore goes up to 1.49 under load (vdroop pencil mod) and is about 72-74c.

As you can see, these are a bit high for idle temps...but I'm going to be picking up another 120.2 rad and either a Dtek fuzion or EK supreme so that should bring temps down a bit...and I'm going to see if I can bring down the voltage a bit too and do some further stress testing with folding. (I currently have an EK wave, and a HE120.2)

Anyway I'm very pleased as it's an excellent clocker for a roasty B3 stepping,
and I spent literally 2 min getting the preliminary 3.6ghz settings right, just like my other e6600. With some new WC stuff maybe temps will be good enough to see if it can do even more.

Nice o/c gurusan;)

Those temps would indicate the chip is not as concave as some others over the 4 cores;)

With the additional rad the temps decrease will be even better maybe 5-10?

General feed back with the supreme 1-2deg differential.

The D-Tek is a proven block for performance;).

You should have some good results with your vcore as well (from Bikerz thread you mentioned your volt modd put a tad extra vcore when under load?)

Keep us updated with your over clock and choice of block;)

The CPU is actually lapped....and I'm still waiting on some more EK Supreme reviews...otherwise it's definitely the D-tek


and thanks. :) I'm happy. CPU upgrade bug is gone for a little while.
 
Might be worth considering before installing your new water block a little extra lapping? I am sure will aid temperature decrease further.

I experienced this with my B3 (lapped) lapped again before D-Tek block. (testing on air showed the cores dropped by another 4deg;))

Well maybe I will a little because it was lapped before I bought it and even though it looks perfectly flat I like my chips shinier...e-peen status I suppose..I usually go up to 2500 grit.
 
i too like the bling factor:D.

I used the 2500 to further (re-lapp) the technique i used was the black permanent marker method to maintain/ recheck for flatness;)
 
You better get that B3 into the quad database when it's Prime stable.

Mine's been alone for far too long.
 
Nice clock. I've just had word from another place that my Supreme shipped this afternoon, so hopefully there will be some test data available by next weekend.

Will do....can't wait to get some more wc stuff and max out the CPU.

thanks....Definitely looking forward to it!

Btw was that done on a Asus P5B Deluxe?

Indeed, it was. I was wondering how the 965 chipset would deal with a quad and it seems to handle it fine!

That's a fricking awesome FSB for a P965 board.

is it? :confused: I thought most DS3s and P5Bs did 500+fsb without flinching?

**edit** now I see what you are looking at.....my Clock is 3.6ghz not 4.0...I don't know why Coretemp shows that. CPU-Z shows the accurate FSB reading.
 
No I meant the 452mhz FSB for a quad-core on P965.

Whilst they can do over 500mhz with dual-cores, it's highly unusual to see over 450mhz with a quad-core.
 
Oh...didn't know that. Well we'll see if I can push it further :D I like high FSB and lower multi and 1:1 ram
