***The Official Q6600 Overclocking Thread ***

[easyrider]

No It sucks. A Tuniq Tower or Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 would get VERY similar performance.

All the reviews I have read state that this will out perform any air coolers.

So links to a site where this is on par with a tunig please.

Review from VR zone

Now we see that with the bigger heat-load, the H20-120 cools the 4 cores down 20C to 27C cooler on each core! The difference when the heat-load goes up is really amazing, and for a compact water-cooling kit, the Swiftech H20-120 is definitely impressive! I wanted to try the heat-load of 3.66GHz and 1.55v but apparently, the Scythe Infinity is overwhelmed by this heat-load already as the system immediately crashed when I opened up the fourth instance of CPU-Burn. Based on these figures, I'm quite sure this will readily beat any air-cooler out in the market right now when you apply this type of heat-load on it.

Well here's my super pi @ 3.5ghz.



woops wrong thread!.














3.5ghz 1.45v in bios...8hr+prime small FFT's ( round error enabled ) board Giga DS4 P965...Air TRU120A non EX.
not bad!...29quid heatsink and me old mobo.
Do i get on your list easy?

Yeah you made it.

I'll delogate the list task to you if you like vooch.

Don't wory its not very long list.There are only a few of us 8hrs prime stable

I'll the edit the front page for ease

 

[easyrider]

Batch; temps are in the pic....

x63 is cpu pll ref.
Cooling : Swiftech water kit

mines L726A and one core fails on mine at 3.8ghz.

I think I may have cracked it though

 

[easyrider]

Anyone with a ABIT P35 pro tell me what they are running their CPU VTT voltage at?

Thanks

 

[easyrider]

easyrider, probably not much use but mine is at 1.20v

hope you get that last core nailed!

Thanks mate

@Rajveer


Nice clock for air Rajveer.

You going to push further?

3.3ghz always feels like no mans land for me.

Even number for the win.

3.4ghz 3.6ghz or 3.8ghz

 

[easyrider]

@ w3bbo


Have you done both blend and small FFT?


whats the vdroop like on the biltz?

 

[easyrider]

gonna aim for 3.4ghz anyway, think it was around 75c but not stable, so probably would be 80c before I can get it stable

Thats just to hot mate

 

[easyrider]

It will be if I get it past the 8hr mark. reset last night at 7hours 20 mins

 

[easyrider]

Didn't expect that...

Don't get you?

 

[easyrider]

No offence, but you normally make a point of ensuring that claimed overclocks are 8 hours prime/orthos stable, that's all

Of course and thats exactly why I was mad for w3bbo.

He was so close at 7hours 20 mins


Not sure why a screen shot wasnt taken at 7 hrs though

 

[easyrider]

Coz I was in bed and the PC reset. I doubt staring at prime all night would have helped

Willing it on sometimes works LOL

 

[easyrider]

Well, hopefully i wil have one of these soon so I can join the party

Welcome along

 

[easyrider]

Aye it'll do it eventually, its just a pita going for so long then reseting. Weird that everytime it does fail it resets rather than failing. Its done this no matter what clockspeed I run at, always resets, never fails. Anyone else noticed this with vista64?

What PSU do you have?

Dual boot and try it in XP

 

[easyrider]

1kw Silverstone so I doubt thats the problem lol.

I could run it on xp I guess but whats the point when vista is my main OS these days. I'll give it another run tonight with a couple of tweaked settings, see how far it gets me. Damn PC's

I love your stability user ethic

Just like me

Maybe we should make up?

 

[easyrider]

I'm at 3.6 now. 1.376 Volts under load. 1.5125 volts set in bios. 60 degrees under load. I will try and get it 8hr stable, not bad for near-silent air cooling

Screen shot mate as that vcore looks nice

 

[easyrider]

after doing some reading i decided its time to ditch the fatal1ty mobo and go for something to unleash the true potential of my q6600. am i right in thinking i should be looking to get an abit ip35 pro or similar? would an abit max 975x be any better?

add me to msn

 

[easyrider]

Back down to 3.2ghz again as it falls over when gaming. Yet it ran prime for 8 hours.

Looks like a new mobo then.

was that Prime test Blend or small FFT?

 

[easyrider]

New mobo new results

 

[easyrider]

Dont forget - new CPU too

Is that 1.68vcore ?

It's 1.62 in bios.

But with the Abit P35 I could pump 1.7v through it and one core would still fail.

I will drop the vcore down to the sweet spot and I'm not concerned for temps they are well under control

But 4ghz prime run would be nice.

I know it wasn't the chip.
