***The Official Q6600 Overclocking Thread ***

[easyrider]

This is weird, doesn't matter what I set my VCORE to it always shows as 1.288 v in CPU-z

HEADRAT

get the beta version

Guys whats the best temp monitor to use for a q6600 in Vista x64

TAT doesnt work and I've heard Speedfan is a bit unreliable

try coretemp

 

[easyrider]

Tried that, lol didn't work either

New vista updates prevents it from installing the unsigned driver thingy

windows XP

Before the volt mod, mine set to 1.53v bios gave 1.42-1.45 uguru. Actual from the multimeter was 1.455v. No idea why it wont load. Its a bit flaky, dont leave it open, it has a memory leak. It'll crash the system eventually.

uninstalled it its crap

 

[easyrider]

Two choices really, Speedfan (add +15c to the settings to correct) or Everest.

I was going to suggest Everest but wasnt sure wether it worked

 

[easyrider]

coming up to an hour and I am pleased with the temps of 59c @ 3.6ghz

Hope I can get 3.8ghz out of this baby!

These seem great chips

 

[easyrider]

Trouble is they use their own bespoke uguru chip for monitoring. Not much can read things like fan speeds etc.

Run all mine off a controller.

Anything else I'm missing out on?

 

[easyrider]

I'm pretty dissapointed, I'm down at 9 x 350 (3150) with a 2:3 divider and I'm still not stable

post your settings

 

[easyrider]

Well I tried:-

430 x 8 (3440) with a 1:1.20 multiplier and I just can't seem to find a stable spot

To reduce the stress on the memory I tried 1:1 (DDR2-860) and still no joy, Vcore was at 1.395 (BIOS) shows at 1.30 in CPU-Z.

I've just tried

380 x 8 (3040) with a 4:5 devider (1050) and I still fail Prime 95 after about 5 mins

at this rate I'll be running @ stock

what mobo again?

 

[easyrider]

Abit IP35 Pro

Up the vcore.

 

[easyrider]

How much, what is safe for a G0?

Im at 1.5v (1.45 Actual) with temps at 59c full load.

This is fine and leads me to believe that 3.8 ghz is up for grabs.

It all depends on your cooling and the temps at full load.

1.41vcore real, need to sort my waterblock out, temps alittle high.

[easyrider]

Just to add this Abit is one of the best C2D mobos I have tested so far.

Easy to setup and seems stable as a rock.

 

[easyrider]

Cooling is Tuniq Tower 120

try to keep temps below 65c

 

[easyrider]

1.41, I might change waterblocks tomorrow

Yours looks nice easy

Thanks

Yours does to mate

These are really nice chips and make the 6850 even more of a waste of money imo

 

[easyrider]

I think I may have to reseat the cooler:-

CPU0 = 66
CPU1 = 59
CPU2 = 65
CPU3 = 59

but so far so good, extra voltage seems to be doing the trick

why are you running the the 8x multi?

 

[easyrider]

Overnight stable at 3.6ghz.

 

[easyrider]

How are you cooling easyrider?

Swiftech Apex Water mate,

 

[easyrider]

The thing I want to know is where's Easyriders Q6600 clocks?

Posted 3 pages ago you noob.

Overnight stable at 3.6ghz with full load temps of 52c
