Q6600 G0 stock volts?

[SkeeterUK]

Building up my new setup over weekend or monday and not sure about if to leave the bios on auto for stock speed volts or to manually put a number in or not.

On a Asus p5kc using a Q6600 G0.

Auto should be fine for stock speed. However you do intend to overclock don't you?

for stock speeds auto is fine...but don't run it at stock.

As said dont run it at stock, tis a criminal offence to leave a q6600 at stock.

Oh yeah i plan to oc the mother indeed.

Just wana test stock first see temps etc check vid etc. But wasnt sure if for stock, what were the best settings to use for volts.

I usually find the vid via coretemp and use this as a starting point, my previous q6600 was a 1.2750 vid, this was good for a jump to 3.0ghz.

mate i have a p5kc + q6600, its hard to oc this as the voltages get messed up on this board, but managed to get 3ghz / 3.2

My q6600 has vid of 1.2750
Ran it on abit ip35 pro at 3.2ghz easily on air

Ran on same board at 3.4ghz again easy enough on air but later watercooled with less nb/sb volts

Same cpu on ga x48 dq6 is now nicely at 3.6ghz

I rem vcore on abit mobo at 3.2 was in bios 1.33v showed slightly lower in windows
At 3.4 i think i had to raise bios vcore 1 or 2 notches up from 1.33v

Guessing the vcore in bios for 3.6 on air was 1.42v or approx that (never wrote that down)

Vid of 1.2750 are decently lowish in the range, some have even lower vids that won't do above 3.4ghz stable, guess vid sure helps but use it as guesstimate, with good cooling i would be amazed you can't get 3.4ghz with a quick tinkering with sb/nb and maybe ddr volts

My old 1.2750 vid chip ran prime stable at 3.8ghz on 1.512v, though i ran it daily at 3.6ghz on 1.4v. temps never went over 70c.

I hear the latest bios helps and to make sure u have that dampener thing in bios on to reduce vdroop.
