I am getting a Q6600 next week, but depend on the temperature and overclockability of current B3 stepping, I may wait until end of August to go for G0 stepping.

So, I need to know, what is the temperature and voltage required to push the current B3 Q6600 to 3.4GHz?

sincerly need help, please post your comment.

me 2.......wah u open so many q6600 question thread must eveyday dream bout q6600

same here

haha, not because dream about it, because some friend want to buy my current E6600 next week, so i have to decide should i let go my E6600 and go for B3 Q6600, or should I wait for G0 Q6600.....

Wait until some reviewer like irenic that might got G0 stepping on his hands later.

haha yeah myb need wait sum forumer to tested it like irenic our QS

wah u guys wish i become lab mouse ar ? hehe

erm actually, i already grabbed myself a q6600 B3 stepping .. i know i should wait with G0 but since i have no processor to use, i've no choice but to buy this.. maybe if it's so sux, i'll buy a G0 once it becomes available in the store.. and the real reason i bought this quad core over the E6850 is bcoz i got few video editting works to be finished by next month.. so hopefully it worth to use this q6600 over the super overclocked E6850..

i'll share some info soon

Default Q6600 Idle temp..




Default Q6600 Load temp (15mins stress test)

haha richest lab mouse..haha famous than STUART later still getting q66?y not take x6850

enuff bout mouse..i hate mouse.. haha but stuart little is ok

erm yeah QX6850 is tempting.. but i wont spend so much bcoz better processor in penryn will be released later on..

My Q6600 B3 temp


Attached thumbnail(s)

so far i can boot at 4ghz, but then BSOD when i was login the password at vista..

and max bootable into windows is 3.85ghz.. aquamark and cinebench stable.. PI havent chance to do it coz it's located in an external drive n my friend borrow the external case..

3.85ghz:



3.85ghz cinebench:


3.85ghz aquamark (2900XT @ default):



3.80Ghz 3dmark06, xt @ 850/1100:

irenic, what is your vcore and temperature?

now the next quest is to find sweet spot for daily use.. i dun want to use more than 1.4v for 24/7 so let see whether this q6600 is like most c2d where 3.2ghz @ default vcore is just piece of cake..

Added on July 25, 2007, 12:16 pmmy vcore @ 3.8ghz is 1.55v while 3.85 is 1.6v.. temp idle is around 52c max, load is around 65c max

So, this is a pretty good result, what cooling you using?

I am going to get a B3 stepping next week, no need to wait for G0 since i am on water cooling, should be good enough to keep it cool.

watercooling.. erm well if u browse around here :

u'll found out that so far the retail G0 oc potential is same like B3, just that it runs cooler.. but not much i can say..

oc potential may not differ that much, but maybe G0 runs cooler mean better life span when oc such as high as 3.8GHz.

I need all the guru to help me.....

I dont know why, I got my Q6600 today, tested all stable, duo orthos full 4 core prime stable for more than 1 hours, I overclocked to only 3.2GHz with 1.375v.

but why the hell my Q6600 running so hot??? I cant believe it how come irenic can get 65c full load at 1.55v....

please tell me why... getting mad.

huhu izzit coz wat ppl said bout the quality of WC will give u better performance

will that be so much of different?... this same cooling kit was keeping my old setup E6600@3.4G 1.5v below 65C full load and 40C idle...

but now it is 55C full load! i dont need water heater in my bed room anymore!

i'll rather wait for the G0....cooler means higher overclockability (generally). Quad on cascade at -70c 4.5Ghz region would be rather nice i would say. Don't ya all agree. But then again i hope there isn't any hole in my pocket....
