New Q6600 overclocks

Cupra · 22 Jul 2007 at 18:58

the e6850 go steppings can ususaly hit 4.5ghz on good water according to a few revies so maybe the extra mhz will make a big diffrence to some people

Got mine at 3Ghz now at 59c load so very happy with that. Got the voltage set at 1.375 in the bios but got somo serous droop as it only registers as 1.31.

Never had that much droop with this board when i had my C2D, but doesn't seem to be effecting the stability. Onwards to 3.2!!!

Expected better on the voltage. My B3 Xeon X3210 runs 3G's at 1.20 volts.

Mine is loading using quad prime at 71 for 2 cores anad around 68 for the other 2, under an artic freezer. 3.2ghz

I never use Prime 95, or Orthos now as it doesnt seem to stress the cpu as good as TAT (Thermal Analysis Tool).

If you use that the temp will be higher because it stresses the cpu better..

How do you get TAT to use 4 cores ?

4.5ghz?

Any links to back this up?

4GHz 1.575v

To The Asgard

I just bung the voltage up to that when i first started overclocking, i'm pretty sure i'll get higher without increasing the voltage... shall see tomoz. Gonna try 3.4 and see what happens.

Also pretty sure i've got quite a bit of air in my rad but need 2 pairs of hands to fix it..... plus the actual motivation.

forgot to add at 3.2Ghz, i'm at 38-39 idle.

Indeed,

I'm glad you have the same ethos as me

Whats the recommended usage of Prime??? which method should be used that most effectively stresses a quad? Any particular FFT lenght???

Chronictank · 23 Jul 2007 at 11:45

3.2Ghz @ 52oC under load
using a sythe ninja + akasa amber

go there for quad prime

also use coretemp version 95, its stops the crashing when all cores under
load.

btw i got my QX6700 @ 3.3ghz on stock volts, dont really wanna go higher untill i get water cooling. the vdrop is worse on quad cores aswell

Moron · 23 Jul 2007 at 14:18

Tried a quick re seating of my heatsink, temps went up to 75oC....... didn't go well. After second re-seat temps are between 34-39 idle at 3.4Ghz and 58-60 load.

Still not been able to get a solid time to test stability as i've been using the comp to much but i'm sitting on xp and gaming fine, obviously not a proper test but i'll get round to it soon.

yeah it produces more heat but doesnt let u know if there was errors, it just keeps running. So is pointless for stability testing

Got mine yesterday and its been running quad prime over night at 2.94ghz (327 x 9) at default volts which are around 1.24 in cpuz. Temps are 69 - 71 on all cores using watercooling with a fuzion and pa160.3.

any more mhz increase and it requires atleast 1.375v (abount 1.30 in cpuz) then the temps rocket towards 80c. Not sure if i should continue with the overclock effort or leave it at 2.94ghz.

any advice please?

Btw, im using everest for temp reading, is that accurate? Board is a ds4 v1.0 965.

That is very hot, especially at stock voltages.

What stepping Harbz?
