i think it shall depend on stepping & LUCK again

btw, does any1 here overclocking this quad-cores with p965 chippy?
does the result nice?

Q6600 Update: Currently stable at 3.6Ghz with 1.625v in bios, temp hovering around 70c

At stock speed the E6850 has an edge in gaming but when overclocking comes into play I believe the difference is negligeable and barely noticeable. Check out my results, I'm using Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme with a low noise Thermaltake fan

^err boss, u board using what chipset, p53 ka??

the prime95 has extra feat. ka like orthos when it comes to fail, got sound??

Yeah, anyone bought Q6600 G0 and oc on 965P shipset?

I'm using P35. When one of the cores fail in Prime95, the icon will turn red.

ahh ic, so basically, p35 more suit when paired with quaddies rather than p965(what im using)

p965 can support nicely when running on default & mild setup, but when it comes to higher clocks, it becomes unstable no matter what setting applied

hurmm am i going to get p35 boards??

about the prime95, so it doesnt have a "beep" sound ait?? in that case, have to turn on my display at least 8hrs to monitor the overclocking progress

Is there a reason why you choose 70'c as the highest core temp?

I know the Q6600 has a better thermal profile but AFAIK, most people would recommend a max temp of 60'c for the C2D.

@gengstapo, what 965P board did u used to oc Q6600?

For me 70c is a number that I'm comfortable with running 24/7. Have done that with my previous processors as well. Running it at such high temp might reduce its lifespan but nowadays the processor will get obsolete first before dying

im still using my old board, previously paired with e66 & now q66

its the commando board..

ps: at the moment still stressing for atleast 2hrs stable, 312Mhz x 9.. zZZzz

OIC. You mean that your previous C2D was also running at 70'c??

I'm already when my proc is running at 60'C!!!

I guess I can push my proc further as previous E6x00 had a thermal specification of 62'c whereas the new E6x50 has a higher level at 71'c!

This is my first Intel processor in years. My previous processor was an AMD Opteron 165.

Asus Comando only capable of 312MHz?

nahh, lastime with my e66, it can do atleast 480Mhz

i think p965 not the exact match with quad cores

I think the best mobo for quaddies is still those intel P35's...my 680i cant run quadies past 390FSB....now need to fork out for a P35...darn...whats the recommended P35 mobo?

tukar trus quad ek bro u use wat bios?even latest bios cant fix it?wahlioa..xkan nk kena beli mobo lain kot

hehee.. tak bole nak buat aper daa, e66 sudah juai no proc to use

akuk flash to latest bios 1404 kalau tak silap

The commando known priced 4 figure last time and when P35 came out now become useless(quad core oc)... Oh god, thats why sumtimes just hate new technology, p965 not even last a year & then P35 was out.

wah..;atest bios pn xle fix..then watse if got gud proc but cant oc kaw kaw thinkin to get quad oso..haha but now need to KIV 1t since p965 so perfome well with it

releks br0, need no w0rry

i still doing some tweaking upon my rig..
