Journey of a Q6600

4x4n · Apr 3, 2009

If you can keep it cool enough, the voltage doesn't hurt it. I'm a folding/dc guy and run all my rigs 100% 24/7. I had a Q6600 that I ran at 4ghz, 1.575vcore for almost a year. I sold it, and as far as I know, it's still going strong. I'll see if I can find some old screenshots from it.

dang thats good dude, post'em post'em!!

Ok, been trying to find something. I've gone though quite a few Q6600's, so after they're gone, I don't keep much. I did manage to find this 1m shot at 4ghz, with only about 1.5v. I'm pretty sure that it took 1.575 to be stable though.

water or air ? 4x4

4x4n · Apr 3, 2009

All on air, TRUE with 2 medium speed yates in push/pull.

Here's another I had for a while. This one would do 4ghz with less than 1.5v, but temps shot up into the 80's. So it ran at 3.8 until I sold it, just recently. I only have 2 left right now. One at 3.6 and the other at 3.4. I sell all the good ones. :roll:

Thats a nice OCing chip, my Q6600 needs 1.45625v LLC to do 3.6 GHz

Nice I got 4ghz well 3.986 on my true temps were low and I was semi drunk at the time. I will go for broke tomorrow I think and try get 4ghz.

good run 4x4. I love those Q's, although i've never owned one. They are still great processors.

kyle2020 · Apr 3, 2009

Very, very nice chip there 4x4. Used to think I had pretty much the best Q6600 on these forums, however I stand corrected

I think what im going to do is just try and find the lowest possible volts for each of my overclocks. Starting with 3.2, I mean she was running nicely on 1.28 yesterday, ill have to do some OCCT though.

Still, I must say even Im jealous of that chip 4x4

oh, and check out my [FS] thread for a few bargains please! My firestix are up for sale too!

Here some competition from me

kyle2020 · Apr 4, 2009

4.5Ghz, nice.

How about 1.28V on 3.2?

I reckon I can go even lower. watch this space.

fatguy1992 · Apr 4, 2009

How about 1.2vcore @ 3.6GHz

(i'm not trying to brag etc)

Chicken Patty · Apr 4, 2009

Kyle very good.

fatguy, hol shit :eek:

That was on Phase or just with cool air temps?

fatguy1992 · Apr 4, 2009

Phase change

I can lower those volts even more

kyle2020 · Apr 4, 2009

unless your VID is in the 1.1V area, im calling bs on this mate.

fatguy1992 · Apr 4, 2009

In my opinion VID doesn't mean S***

My friend has a E8400 VID 1.225v at he did 3.8GHz on 1.104vcore on the stock cooler.

I'll get a video of it in 1 week (when I have a working PC). Then you'll all see

I wish when I get a CPU-Z validation it would show the vcore on the validation.

temps mean a lot kyle. Better cooling, less voltage needed.

True, I could still do 3.6GHz on 1.28vcore in 28C air with my IFX-14.

I agree, people put way too much stock in the vid. I will say that generally a lower vid is better, but doens't mean it will be a bad clocker. From my experience, and I've had dozens of chips, a lower vid will just get you higher temps. One of my best Q6600's had a vid of 1.2875 and ran stable at 4ghz. Plus mt X3370 has a 1.25 vid, and runs 24/7, 4ghz @ 1.28vcore.

fatguy1992 · Apr 4, 2009

True, thanks :toast:

With my 1.2375v VID Q6600 I can run 0.960vcore @ 2.4GHz on air.

radaja · Apr 4, 2009

yep vid is not the absolute final reason as to whether a chip is good.ive had chips with vids of 1.22 two cpu's and 1.25 two cpu's.my best clocking chips out of the four were,E8500 vid of 1.25 and an E8400 vid of 1.22.the only difference between those two were temps(low vids tend to run hotter)and at higher clocks the higher vids might need more exccessive voltages.
fatguy1992,awesome clocks there! :rockout:

fatguy1992 · Apr 5, 2009

Thanks

Nice yo see you here

I completely agree, but short benches at that voltage wont hurt it.

I subscribed to your thread, i'll follow up on it, I have no o/c'ing experience with the socket 775 so i'll see if there is anyway I can throw in some advise.

that's my point my friend we have agreed , and thanx a lot to take a look in my thread , i know you have experience in is and i will waiting for you advice this to you thanx my friend
