***The Official Q6600 Overclocking Thread ***

I just lapped my Ultra-120, was quite shocked too see that the base was quite badly 'concaved', should have taken some pics really but after 5 mins sanding the edges were completely copper but the center was still anodised silver coated? (untouched by the sanding).fornowagain said:

I'm in two minds to lap it, mine is ever so slightly convex. Apparently thats by design. Not so sure I believe that, nigh on impossible to machine deliberately. Looks more like the base is milled, then distorts after they solder the heatpipes. All I know it touches the IHS center first.Big.Wayne said:I just lapped my Ultra-120, was quite shocked too see that the base was quite badly 'concaved', should have taken some pics really but after 5 mins sanding the edges were completely copper but the center was still anodised silver coated?

Azza get some stability tests done. 8 hours as Easy would say

lol you should start policing the XS boards, it bores me totally pooooless on there, chernobyl is more stable than XS screenshots.easyrider said:

1.7v thats pretty darn high!
Dont think I will hammer my GO that hard! lol
Have to ask though whats the highest clock you can get 8hrs (or more) prime stable?
Super pi shots dont mean much to me tbh.
I want (and Easy does
) proof of proper stability!

Yeah 3.6ghz. Probaiblly be higher but i can not be bothered twickering with the voltage atm.

Ill get stable and all that **** done when I want to. Im not going to be runnig prime for 8 hours 'cos Ive got better things to do with my PC.
And this is after all an overclocking thread. And what am I doing? Overclocking. If you only want a thread with stable overclocks then get the title changed and ill make my own thread with what ever overclocks i want. After all you want to see what these can get to dont you?
I havnt even started my max FSB overclocking yet so it will still be a while until you see safe and stable overclocks from me. Im having too much fun.
*not having at go at you Scoobie Dave or you Easy just so you know*

Thats right. The base is presumably not heat treated. Just milled from billet. They get it hot, lets out the stress and buckles, goes either up or down. I did blue it yes, came straight off the middle.Big.Wayne said:

This bit is boring, lots to do yet.w3bbo said:

More interested in stabilty shots tbh than epeen boot ups
This is not XS you know.
whats the highest stable?
3.6ghz?
This is overclockers, who says it has to be stable to be posted here?
