***The Official Q6600 Overclocking Thread ***

[marscay]

heh extended use of the quad on that GT will probably kill it eventually

Hello OCers! It all well and good seeing these monster overclocks, and congrats, but does anyone have any overclocks on AIR, with perhaps a Zalman Aero Flower or similar cooling??

It seems like these quads are really quite hot, and water and Phase cooling are great, but not the most amazingly practical / cheap ways of getting a nice OC!!

Cheers!

I'll let you know today, I've got one arriving and going into possibly the worst configuration solution I can think of for a Q6600 but hey I'm optimistic.

Gigabyte GA G33M-S2 Micro ATX (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
Zalman CNPS8700-LED Aero Flower CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/775/AM2)

people should use coretemp95 to post temps aswell, cus speedfan is useless and doesnt say the correct temp, use speedfan for correct volts readings instead.

 

[Biffa]

I don't think you can tar Speedfan totally as bad, on my boxes the temps on speedfan match coretemp precisely

Can Intel TAT report on all 4 cores?

Can Intel TAT report on all 4 cores?

I tried to use it and it only reported two cores

 

[ReeMISM]

I have CPU rightmark which is a cool little program..

 

[Locky]

Can Intel TAT report on all 4 cores?

yes it can in the info log box at the bottom. TaT and core temp say exact same thing on my rig, with speedfan being way out.

you meant 9700?

i've got 9500..... so that's about 3-4c higher than 9700. hope to hear from you what you got

No a 8700 Its an aero flower type cooler http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-028-ZA&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=821

I need to clock my Quad to 2.8GHz (if I get a Quad) on Air, using a Ultra 120 and 1600rpm fan. Is this unrealistic (B3 stepping)

 

[lay-z-boy]

I would say no, my x3210 does 2.7 on the stock intel heatsink.

 

[Scoobie Dave]

Wohoo!

Quad has just been delivered. Will be playing with that as soon as I finish work!

Will be posting some details soon. . .

Who needs a E6850.

Someone who likes their cpu's pre overclocked and missing 2 cores

Seems to be a lot of people like that on the forums today

 

[lay-z-boy]

Bah, give me a quad any day, even windows task manager with 4 cpu bars should be enough to convert someone

 

[easyrider]

MY 6400 did 3.8ghz 24/7 on water.

The 6850's have been reaching 4ghz on water.

the 6850's hold no interest for me.

Give me 2 extra cores over 200 more mhz any day.

that and the 8mb cache

 

[maddness]

using a Kandalf LCS

1.51v in cpu-z

will get some prime shots up over the weekend, passes everything without a hitch

boots at 3.9+ Ghz but i cba trying and testing for the right volts yet lol
will update in a few days

p5k-e does almost 500mhz fsb, 497 to be exact lol

temps??.... who cares
