Abit Fp-IN9 Q6600 GO

[ollie27]

Hey,

I have a Q6600 GO stepping coming on tuesday as an upgrade from my E4300 (Clocked at 3.2GHz) Has anyone had any luck Overclocking this Cpu on the FP-IN9? I was hoping to get around 3.4GHz OC from this Cpu to make the upgarde noticable compared to teh E4300 in day to day apps. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I think that you'll struggle to get that with a Q6600 on a 650i.

Serious?! What should i shoot for then on the 650i chipset? How come it won't clcok so high?

Thanks Buff

I should get 3.0GHz easily yeah? 1333MHz Fsb - I would be happy with that it will be more a less the same clock as my £4300 but with the two extra cores and the extra 6mb cache lol

3 should be easy, however whether you see any noticible difference against your previous will be software dependent.
Not many apps use the 4 cores, but if you want to multi task, dedicating each core to an app, then yes you will.

Hi Ollie,

I've just upgraded my E6700 to a Q6600 G0 and can only get 2.7 out of it (using bios 14)

If you get a good overclock then let me know your settings as I'm gutted with the low overclock compared to 3.5 with the E6700.



Good luck and let me know how you get on!

How come it won't clcok so high?

it's a bad chipset for quad core fsb clocking - expect low to mid 300s at best.

Zuluzombie i got mine today And have mine clocked at 3.0GHz first attempt, I'am still currently testing (2 Hour prime) so will let you know i can push it further.

My settings.

Bios 14
FSB - 333 (1333 Quad)
Unlinked - Ram at 800MHz 4-4-4-12 (2.1v)
Vcore - 1.275v
VTT - 1.24v
NB - 1.3v
LDT x 3
All compuuter features off.

Temps w/Arctic Freezer 7 Pro 44c full load.

Try something similar to mine, Let me know how you get on.

Peace

I sold the 650i and got an eVGA 680i A1 now am sitting at 3.6Ghz
