yup,its basically depends on luck and Q6600 VID.mine isnt that good.need 1.4875 for 3.5 ghz.

Ic, but that is not bad either, so ur processor is G0? How the temperature?

i never tust d real temp or core temp...
my i45 got d display for temp...
and speedfan oso showed same speed as my mobo...
i'm using ACF7PRO+TX-2....

and my proc vcore a lil low for 3.15ghz...
1.192 if not mistake...
later will post...but mine is not Q6600...
more to xeon...

the temp now is around 44C idle and load around 60-65C

Added on October 8, 2008, 4:53 pmwell,i doubt that my motherboard sensore reading are accurate.I got 26/27C idle for proc which is too low i guess.

try speedfan....
if same value as ur mobo, then possible it show d exact temp??

nope,with real temp or core temp its around 37/38C.10 celcius more than in bios

Well, many people got the same problem with 65nm processor, thats y i didnt use the mobo probe, may be bios problem, u can check at asus forum

how does your xigmatek performance compare to zalman hsf anyway?Yes,like youve mentioned before so i guess im gonna stick with core temp for this time being

Not much improve, just 1 to 2 dgree only, but it's silent, gonna try watercooling later

are you using the S&S kit with the hdt S1283?

Yup, i buy together with s&s kit

heres my latest try with Q6600

guys, i just changed my Mobo from ABit ip35 pro to XFX 780i and found that my Q6600 Vcore requirements !

Abit ip35 Pro = 1.40Vcore for 3.6Ghz !!!
XFX 780i = 1.32Vcore for 3.6Ghz !!!

(recorded using CPUZ)

thats in bios?pretty amazing vcore for 3.6 ghz.whats your VID,mate?

Added on October 10, 2008, 9:28 amSyahirax, last time u said u got 1 Q6600 lapped right ?

so i want to ask how much temp drop after lapped ?

mine is 1.265,1.25 is pretty nice.Used to have 2 Q6600 with 1.325(not the best) and those overclocks worst.The lapped one is B3 and when i bought em i straight away lapped the proc.So didnt know the temp before.

i saw many people got good results after lapped !

well yeah,the difference is either minor or major.But ive seen at least 2-3 C minimally after lapped.Are you gonna lap yours?

Wah... how many q66 u have?

So from ur experience using variance q66 vid, how the performance difference?

so far been using 3.of course right now i just own one.Well as for right now,the one with VID 1.2625 manage to get around 3.7 at 1.45 vcore. was wondering,what is the safest vcore to run 24/7?
