RESULT:

Superpi
1.kevyeoh 14.5s
2.gogo2 14.7s

Thanks to charge-n-go, I got myself a Quadcore Extreme QX6700 2.66MHz.

The rest of the system configuration is as follow:

Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev1.0 BIOS:F10
Patriot DDR2 1GB x 2 667MHz
Western Digital 500GB 16MB SATAII
Galaxy 7300GT DDR3 128MB
Fortron Epsilon 600W
CoolerMaster Hyper6+

I haven't touch the maximum OC of this Quadcore. Still in the process to determine the limit of this board and Quadcore.

So far, this is what I got:
CPU
3.3GHz at Vcore 1.325V

FSB
300MHz (MCH, FSB + 0.2V)

RAM
375MHz at Vdimm+0.2V

START

Any question, please ask. And if you want me to change anything, I might entertain smile.gif

Will post final result soon!

Welcome dude, let's do some wonders with my engineering sample
thanks for letting my CPU leeching ur system for some time laugh.gif

Hmm... maybe 10x333MHz? RAM set to 1:1 with FSB and then lowered the RAM timing. Hopefully can get a better superPI time.

Yup, 333MHz works just fine. But I accidentally change it to ratio 6. Hahaha.....let me reboot my PC now.

Super-pi advance a bit. rclxm9.gif

But let me change the latency. The reason i choose 4:5 because I see 667MHz setting does not boost much of the superpi.

so how much gain do you get from 333MHz to 416MHz?

a mere 0.2s.

by the way, here is the latest screenie.

it seems improvement is little. I think need to boost the FSB now tongue.gif

EDITED:
Its weird that Gigabyte indicate its rev1.0 board cannot support 333MHz. Anyway, haven't run Prime yet

EDITED:
Up the FSB = 340 again! CPU is 3.4GHZ

ES sample? You sold it off to gogo2, or just a loan unit? tongue.gif

If it's a loan unit, lend it to me. I'd love to see how it performs on Folding@Home. Darn!! smile.gif

Oh by the way, I thought Intel's employees can buy any CPU at a very cheap ass price. Can you get me one? laugh.gif

Actually I loan it to gogo2 for a few years until the unit is fully owned by me (the unit is partly Intel now). Since he is in penang and my ex-colleage, it's easier to get feedback from him if Intel wants me to share experience. I'm still a contract employee, maybe can help you to buy one after i am confirmed wink.gif

You can ask gogo2 to try folding@home with your login, i am eager to know how well it can perform too biggrin.gif

Not sure about the 1T coz I can't really set it inside the BIOS.

Still can't get below 15s. Already tried low latency but with lower speed.

I think what we need is, low latency high speed RAM couple with high speed CPU.

Anyway, here is the latest OC diary screenie:

whoaa...nice to see this thread...i'm also using qx670 and DS3...

well...currently my system is very stable at 3.2Ghz...prime95 run for 8hrs no problem...

when i tried pushing up to 3.4Ghz or 3.3Ghz..i think prime95 can't maintain stable...after a while of stress, one of the core will fail prime...

so guys...did you just bump up the freq and superpi it? or you run prime as well also?

what's the temperature reading using TAT?

Tried with that. The system keep on restart. The system cannot take 350MHz FSB. I think maybe this board is rev1.0. If rev3.3, I believe can go higher. Right now, my board can go below 350. 340 is the one I'm using.

That's the pi number for 3.2GHz. OC more. See what u get...for ur CPU. Coz my CPU, only can get 3.5GHz. Cannot reach 3.6GHz.

Bro,

I can reach 3.6Ghz when i tried just now. Just need to up the Vcore more...my current Vcore setting is 1.55V ...it's very high...i'm gonna push it back down after this...hehehe...

3.6Ghz superpi result not so much difference compare to yours...just little better...
i'm getting about 14.5seconds....

my quad core at 3.6Ghz is getting about 14.5s for 1M superpi calculation...
if you have c2d, can you confirm this?

What i know is... should be the same...if both speed the same...

because superpi does not utilize the extra cores....
so 2 or 4 cores, it's useless...it's all down to raw speed power...hehe....

Stable at default voltage? That is excellent !
When i use internal validation suites, this CPU would fail a few stress test when it runs beyond 3.0GHz. Maybe due to stock HSF.

i think 450Mhz is not stable already for me...but it could be due to RAM and not the fsb issue...

i think no problem running 3Ghz @ 1.35V and this should be the stock voltage leh... cannot be lower... your 1.275V is including vdroop already is it?

i'm running 400Mhz very stable now... maybe it's not the rev la...what bios you using?
if you're using DS3 motherboard, try using F9 bios or F10 which i'm using right now...

Yes, you are right. The voltage ID is 2Ah by default, which means 1.35V. The max supported ID translates to 1.60V. gogo2, you can pump up to 1.60V safely tongue.gif

My BIOS is F10. According to Gigabyte website, only rev3.3 can support 333MHz fsb. Mine is officially 266MHz. So its logically valid to think that your rev3.3 can OC more than mine smile.gif

What memory did u used to oc this QX6700? Value or Performance part? Really cant go for FSB 400Mhz on your DS3?

Yesterday i have try oc it to 3.9Ghz@1.65v, anything look just fine untill get into the windows startup, then it shutdown itself n my mobo(Tforce 965PT) spoil, so i have to wait my mobo rma back n try it again. Anyway just want to let other QX6700 users, it should be no problem to oc to 4Ghz.

1.65v on air cooling? Thats sure would spoil ur mobo, I still waiting for next quarter to get Q66 or Q64. If possible for 400FSB on my QuadGT i'll get Q64 or else I just go for Q66. But looks like Biostar 965PT support Quad Core? Anyway when u oc to 3.9GHz what number of multiplier did u used?

Your proc did not burn right? Try on some other mobo and post some result if it does not burden u. How long ur mobo gonna RMA?

Yup, dint burn. I think the RMA will take another 1-2 week.
Yup, maybe rm168 PSU is not really good for high oc.

haha since thread closed ill tumpang here:

QUOTE
Multipler is there for intel to set to mark on their processor speed for the market according to the grade of the processors based on stable default speed at a certain voltage.

QX6700 and all the extreme processors are unique in that you are free to set the multiplier to that u desire.

Your problem is most likely that you are pushing your RAMs too hard, When you get a stable cpu speed at 1:1 you can adjust the ratio to 2:3 or 4:5 so that your RAMs would be at 1000MHz or so.. adjust the RAM timings (5/5/5/18..6/6/6/24.. 4/5/5/18 etc..5/6/6/20) and voltage accordingly(up to 2.2 would be ok)

If 280 fsb is all you can do the by all means increase the multiple to 11.. that would bring the cpu to 3.08GHz. I reach 370 by dropping my multipler to 9.. to get to 400 and beyond I may have to drop to 8 or 7, all the while keeping the cpu vcore within 10% the default voltage. There is also chipset/FSB/bus voltages to consider. Increase FSB speed would be better than multipler increase is because it increases bandwithwidth for more data feeding the 4 cores.


so basically i should be maximizing FSB more by lowering the multipliers? can provide more specific details on doing so? like the vcore/vfsb voltage settings etc etc

Trial and error(and a lot of time/testing).. no short cut .. could also be a limitation of the chipset.. (generally I dont increase voltage of any part more than 10%) ... that is why if you are impeded by fsb.. increase the multiplier. 3.0GHz at default voltage is no problem for My 2 quad cores.

ok so first push the FSB, then multiplier when its at its limit i take it? ill try with 8-9 multipliers then and push the fsb more for now. and aim for 3.0 ghz with default vcore (the heat is insane sad.gif)

and may i know the default vcore again? i forgot already and lazy to reload bios defaults again (sorry yea, and at office still sweat.gif ) ur also on QX6700 right? so should be ok to use the same vcores and push from there(~10% from what you said) and see how far i can go... not expecting much anyways since i dont wanna fry my cpu, but im considered lucky since ive been vcore'ing it on 1.5v and even few times goin 1.6v lol (asus there indicator reading blue (ok) color somehow rofl!) but didnt manage to boot for the most part, and if able to boot, the temperature is kinda retarded.

k this time manage to push it to 3.2ghz... 350x9

everything fine until i orthos 4th core... keep getting error... but i ignore it, and test the other 3 cores over night... morning wake up blue screen doh.gif doh.gif

think overheated? thats my guess since the 3 cores runnin on ~90celcius before i sleep.

think ill go for a 1:2 fsb/ram ratio as my ram default clock speed is high already... but how much fsb can i push? 350 seems to be the limit and anything more results in a non bootable pc sad.gif

So this thread has evolved to a quad core thread again... I started one 7 mnths ago... but was combined with the dual core conroes..

Quazacolt... try backing the fsb a little.. say 345MHz... to make sure it is not Ram speed issue try running one instance of orthos stressing the RAM... My cpu core 3(4th) is also a culprit that prevents me from going beyond 370.... Primming only the 1st 3 cores (1 hour or so).. i was able to go to 3.7/3.8GHz and ran some Pi test

hehe maybe previously not many quadcore users, even now, also not many still.

ram shouldnt be the issue, since ive ran extended ram test and orthos ram stress previously on stock speed (1066mhz) but now on this oc'ing attempt im running pure 1:1 ratio (underclocked my rams basically) and having 5-5-5-15 default latency. so shouldnt be a problem on ram side.

still curious on how ur able to get the fsb up this high and still able to boot, cuz i wanna try that and able to have my ram oc'ed or 1:1 ratio at a much better end clock speed.

prolly limited by heat? (wild ass guess) if you've ever used core temp on dual/quad core CPUs you'll notice that the cores are much much hotter than the actual CPU chip/die itself.

anyways, managed to clock my cpu to 3.1 ghz with 310 fsb and 10 multiplier. everything is stable cept my core 4 is always throwing a fit on me on orthos :/

anyone else having probs with core 4? or is it normal?

my 4th core is stable at 3.4Ghz at 1.4/1.425v cpu voltage. beyond that will error no matter voltage applied. The other 3 can go to 3.7/3.8 or so. at 1.55v or so

this time pushed 3.15 ghz, but multiplier at 9 with 350 FSB. up'ed some vcores and vfsb, testing orthos now... but again, after test 4-5 stupid core 4 throwing fits again vmad.gif

think i can ignore the error on core 4? lol

this would solely be dependant on your applications/programs that you are using whether they are ultilizing the 4 cores or not.

anyways, had some stress test done, and its still a failure cuz i left my comp on for 3ish days and stress it after that... 120 degrees celcius on all cores and after 20-30mins pc auto shutdown... prolly to prevent thermal death sweat.gif sweat.gif

just let it cool down for the day and will stress it again when i get back.

anyways im settling for a 3.1ghz speed, 345 FSB x9 multiplier. 1.45 vcore and 1.4 vFSB

letme know if these settings are good or need changes (so far stress tests are promissing and my 4th core isnt really throwing a fit. only thing left is thermal shutdowns) basically wanna maintain around the 3ghz mark, and around 1.4ghz FSB clocks.

once CPU done, onwards to rams!!! drool.gif

Can tumpang thread ka? Wanna ask on quad-core. Can't find any other quad-core thread.....

Fact : TDP for QX6700 is 130 watts. TDP for Q6600 is 105 watts.

Question : Would the Q6600 + 8800 GTX run without problems on a 500w PSU?(specifically an enermax liberty 500w). This is my planned future rig as soon as intel drops the prices again on 22nd July.

And would I have problems with OC?

Any quad-core sifu can advise? thumbup.gif

either your software is getting the wrong temperature or you screwed up the thermal diode already...

you should not reach 120'C bro... by that temperature, your CPU should have been dead/shut down already...

yea dude, not shittin ye. thermal shutdown only occured around close to 140 celcius... lol

i dunno, only happens on orthos stress on all 4 cores (4 orthos instances)
other than that, its chillin at 50-60 celcius. darn wierd :/

yup... super stable...not a single issue after about 3 months of using...

put it this way, i think you won't find any normal application that will push all 4 cores to 100% all the time....so actually your CPU won't heat up that much at normal application use....

that's my take la... maybe i'm not using any CPU intensive application...

Dude, your proc is heavily underclocked. doh.gif Bring up your FSB to at least 330 and use 10 as the multiplier = that should give you 3.3GHz. From there you can work yourself up.

Dont ever think of that with the current power supply that he is using.
Disabling C1E and EIST can get the stock speed of QX6700 of course. But considering the power supply/cooling, it might not recommended.

As i stated there..it's a Beta unit...not that i could afford it ^^
I'm not sure what's the wattage of my PSU(i couldn't open the casing because it's sealed by those ^#$%^#$PC Depot guys due to their 'waranty'...if there's other ways to find out?) and i feel pity to mate some not so performance part with my quad core but i simply can't find the parts here in penang unless i go down to kl to get it....sigh
Do you think that those parts can support any OC?

omg.its a COMPULSARY for u to change ur PSU.250W power logic is definitely going to explode lor if u still wan OC for a quad core proc.even my 4 year old p4 needs at least 450W of true power PSU to start OC.

just cant imagin running those QX and the rest of the components wif only 250w...and i dun think we have 250W of truepower...which only means that on normal usage, it might be less than 250w and IIRC, the QX alone needed 125W to operate...no offense but this is really something!

bro...i guess you haven't played around with the BIOS yet...i got the same result as you when i first plug in my QX6700... i don't know why the default speed is 1.6Ghz... but no problem la..just increase ur multiplier will do... for this proc, the stock speed should be 2.66Ghz...

Alternatively, go for the direct heatpipe technology! (e.g. xigmatek) Simply and easy!

I'm yet to see anyone here can compare the performance of DHT with other coolers that most of us are using like Scythe, Thermalright, TT, Gemini II etc. Let's ask sup3rfly for another HSF roundup. laugh.gif

Not bad for the performance. Judging from the charts given, it more or less performs like AceCombat's. Is QX6700's TDP same with QX6850 right with 130W?

Errr... AceCombat's core temp has a max of 75'c! And he's using thermaltake big typhoon. We do know that the thermaltake is good but the TR ultra extreme is much better! And in that review, the xigmatek was almost as good as the TR ultra extreme although it had only 3 heatpipes!!!

QX6700 = QX6850 = 130w TDP. biggrin.gif

Thermalright Ultra Extreme is way better than TT big typhoon according to Anandtech but not Hexus.net.

Erm, I don't think CoreTemp reading is that accurate. Extreme 120 is definitely better than TT BTVX, if only the review include TT as well, it will be better to differentiate. In the review at 3Ghz at 60c, AceCombat 3Ghz @ 60c (from Speedfan/SmarGuardian) as well. But the things, we don't know how much vcore is applied in the review. Hard to judge.
