Intel Q6600 G0 SLACR, 95W Stepping CPU's - In Stock NOW & SHIPPING !

[ExceededGoku]

I have to give my E6600 1.52V for stability at 400x8
lol I really can't wait to upgrade my CPU/MOBO although I'll prob get a phenom over a Q6xx0 series (6850 coming soon :O)

This is my first overclock & I'm starting to get hooked already. Even thinking about watercooling which I used to think was way OTT given costs, complexity & the chance to mess up.

4GHz is a nice round number indeed

Any idea how high anyone's managed on air?

[ExceededGoku]

I've seen 3.8 (may have even been 3.9) on air... with the Q6600 G0 but I imagine that was a lucky draw. At the moment I hvae my CPU on water (it needs it cos it dumps a lot of heat to run its overclock ).

[mroz]

3.9? That would be impressive to see. Looks like I'll have to make do with 3.33, unless I go back to 3.2 for the faster memory & lower temps. 3.6 would have been sweet but I'm not usually that lucky.

OK - heres mine, running WCG 24/7 at 100% over all cores:

Those temps are high for running WCG..if you run prime on that it would more likely be in the mid 60's...try a reseat first...as mine running WCG you can knock 10c of your highest core.

Edit: Please Excuse my noobness to boinc settings...just changed it to 100%...now running around the same....with TRU120A.(WEATHER HOT) room temp 25c
So your temps are not bad afterall


Starting to get a little cooler now sun is going down.

[D-BEAR]

And this is just a bit of proof that my cores are all running 100% ......and today which is cooler than yesterday....all temps are case closed with 1 fan.

[j.o.s.h.1408]

how many fans do you have attached to your TM ultra cooler? did you lap your cpu and cooler?

[D-BEAR]

I have 1 fan...and yes both lapped as my cpu was convex...and so was my TRU120.

[Krakpot]

What batches are Scan selling atm ?

How and what do you use to lap your CPU and cooler?

ive just done it to my q6600 and thermalright ultra 120 this afternoon...went pretty well

i followed this guide but didn't go for the mirror finish

Hey TMD,
What speed/temps are you running?

[TMD]

Ive only had the system back up and running for about 30 mins...but so far running at 3.6 ghz (400X9)

idle temps average
Core 0 ~45
Core 1 ~43
Core 2 ~44
Core 3 ~46

load
Core 0 ~55
Core 1 ~54
Core 2 ~56
Core 3 ~56

What vid & what Vcore? How's Vcore at idle & under load?

What mobo?

Did you test temps after lapping the hs but before lapping the ihs? I'm curious to know how much further saving one can get from lapping the cpu ihs.

What thermal interface material?

How did you establish stability? IOW what apps & for how long?

Edit: what's the max variation between core temps under load? I've got an average of 3 or 4C but as temps fluctuate it can reach 6C (with a lapped TRU120X & unlapped IHS). My temps average 2 or 3C lower than yours, but I'm only at 3.4GHz. Couldn't get 3.6 at a reasonable Vcore or temp.

Looking Good....Well done....although you do need to prime for stability.

Very nice, liking the temps alot.
