Q6600 Benchies Please

I got the same bloody WU didn't I :(

Why do I get the distinct impression I'm never going to see a 1760 pointer ever again...

Is there any way to trick Stanford into thinking I still have an E6600 :p
 
I'm not, I just want to get the most out of my new quad, and so far stanford are taking the mick :p

Given that a quad core struggles to bang these out suggests they got their benchies all screwed up. Should be worth at least 1760 like the "easy" WUs.
 
You wanna try doing 1350 pointer after 1350 pointer after 1350 pointer on OSX that take longer than a 1760 pointers.

Not doing my ppd any favours at all.
 
Ugh, for a while 1350 pointers were all I got. I thought 1760s didn't exist anymore [starting to feel like that with this Quad :p]

How do they benchmark the SMP WUs? Because there seems to be some disproportionate pointage going on.
 
Don't complain too much, these SMP wunits are already over-valued no matter what you get. Take a dual-core machine and run two single-core clients, then the same machine running one smp client. It's the same machine crunching at the same speed yet, the SMP client will get conservatively 4-5 times as many ppd.

I just upgraded an Athlon XP @2400MHz that was lucky to get >100ppd and a stock E6600 (which was roughly 33% faster at benches)was getting 10 times that in ppd.
 
Yikes these things are bloody hot!

I have my Q6600 at 3GHz - stable so far - but its a nice toasty 67C!

Looks like I will need a better cooler - or at least better fan for my Ninja. I think my RAM is also limiting my OC, as it doesn't appear to like going over 333FSB... wish I had saved my previous OC settings, as my RAM didn't have a problem with my E6600 at 3.3GHz.


I should probably update the BIOS, see if that helps - last time I had RAM issues it was an old BIOS causing probs. All that aside, I think I will need that new cooler before I go any higher :p
 
Well no, 67 in of itself isn't the end of the world. But I can't imagine running this baby at 3.5 or more with those temps.
 
Here's a few of mine:

They are both clocked around 2.8 or so, I can't recall exactly.
