Hi

Every time i do a blend test with prime95 core 4 keeps hardware failure fatal error at around 18 mins into the test tryed it again and still fails, tempertures are fine not going over 60c at load .

my specs

Q6600(not go) @ 3.17ghz with pc2-6400/ 800 ram running at 353mhz,fsb 353mhz fsb ratio 1:1,cpu is at stock voltage 1.296v says cpu-z

any ideas anyone ?

should i up the chipset voltage or lower the fsb or what ?


thx

I had to up mine to 1.34 to be 8 hour orthos stable @3 ghz.

One of my cores (always the same one) didn't like it with anything less, the other cores were fine at stock vcore.
 
Hi again,I still have stabilty problem. ive upped the vcore voltage 3 notches from stock to 1.4v and the Q6600 is now running 3.2ghz how ever just ran small FFts with prime95 and core 3 failed at 1hour and 22mins and tempertures are getting around 65c to 70c now.any ideas ?

multiplyer @9 stock
whats the safe voltage to put though a Q6600 ?

last time it was core 4 that failed this time it was core 3 is it normal to have differnt cores failing each time ?

Tony what multiplyer you running your Q6600 @ ?

It's at 9, I have left mine at 3 ghz for now as it's stable and I wanted to use my system to play games on for a while I will be going for 3.6 ghz in the near future, I may even have a play with it today if I get time, I don't see any reason I should not get 3.6 with my water cooling but if my temps do go above 75 degrees at load then I will clock it back a bit as anything higher is too high for the sake of a small perfaormance gain.

You can 1.5v through a Quad, but you must keep the load temps below 80c with Orthos. Besides the vdroop is usually pretty bad with the Quads.

How come other Ocs are running q6600 @3.6ghz stable without using the amount of vcore that im using 1.5v ?

Is it just the b3 quad that need a lot of juice to get it started or what ?
 
Mine won't even do 3.3 ghz @ 1.45 vcore under water but it's quite happy at 3 ghz at 1.34 vcore so I will leave it alone for a while.
 
FSB voltage seems to help with stability with the quads. Had to up mine to 1.3 to get 3.6 stable.
