Q6600 G0 Stepping with 1.325 VID

[nlel1975]

Hi

I got a G0 stepping with a 1.325 VID which means I have to set 1.38125v in BIOS (1.31v after Vdrop) to achieve 3ghz 333*9 stable. Can anyone else advise me what overclocks they achieved with their 1.325 VID G0 stepping and how much voltage it required.

I am running the stock cooler at the moment but if I can get say 3.5ghz with a better cooler then I`m tempted. At the moment I won't push the voltages up as temps are already in the 70-80C range!

Its a very good indication though.

I am up at 3.2ghz now with 1.38V REAL stock cooler with some 80C under Prime 4 worker threads. This appears to be stable. I reckon with a decent cooler I could knock at least 10C off my temps and get down to around 70C.

I might then be able to push up the voltage and get to 3.3ghz stable... don't want to go no higher then 1.41 REAL.

These stock coolers get toasty

Doing some rendering on max managed to peak temp at 79degrees (3.0ghz, 1.325VID g0)

Getting my watercooling in soon so i'll push for 3.8

Might be impossible to get 3.8ghz with a 1.325VID G0 with anything less then watercooling. Judging by the other posts here I reckon I could max out at around 3.4ghz with something like 1.465V REAL and the temps would be @ 70C with a decent cooler. At the moment 3ghz @ 1.31v REAL gets me 70C

I used to get max 79C under Prime95 with 4 worker threads @ 3ghz 1.31v REAL stock cooler but then my brother gave me a 90mm case fan to go under the PSU and an 80mm case fan to sit at the front of the case... this knocked 9C off my CPU temps and now I can run @ 3.2ghz with a max peak temp of 81C 1.38V REAL

my Q6600 has got about the same VID, was a bit worried I wound not get it anywhere near 3Ghz, which is as far as I wont to go. I relay wouldn't want to get to the 80 mark on temps. and over 1.50 vcore is insane! I just don't have the guts to do that.

Well I primed my system running at 3.2ghz 1.475 BIOS 1.38V REAL stock cooler last night and 1 of the cores failed after 1 hour 37 minutes so I guess I need even more volts!!!

So I backed off and primed at 3.0ghz 1.38125 BIOS 1.31 REAL and it passed a 17 hour Prime test - the max temp reached was something like 77C so you should be OK for 3ghz and with a decent cooler have those temps down to around 65C
