Ic... 300mhz more is very good result, why dont u use the 3.5 setting for running 24/7, coz it is cold and the voltage is very low if compare to 3.7

For q66, the voltage range from 0.85-1.5v, better keep the lowest between these range...

How you find the best vid? Any secret?

I agreed that 3.5 will be efficient enough but i have an urge to run at 3.7.haha.tamak.theres no secret.well there is a secret,before you buy from a seller.ask them first.Mostly this works with used OEM/retail proc .as for new proc,i dont have any idea. Some people said,it depends on the batches.Anybody experience this?

1.45vcore is pretty ok for 24/7 provided load temp is not over 71 C

whats ur vcore for 24/7 right now?(for the quad)

I don't have quad lah

i saw that based on ur sig.

Q6600 still strong >.< Well, let's wait for the official release of Nehalems!

That is bryanyeo87 and that oc is done with bryanyeo87 and coolice@Nvidia Roadshow earlier this year

cant wait for that too.but the price must be really

Not really... Wait for a month or 2, the price will drop rapidly.

i guess im gonna stick with Q6600 for a while.

i'm just wondering.
how high u guys can get wit Q6600 wit default voltage?
mind share ur experience?

i manage 3096 wit default voltage @ 1.25 in bios, but actually its a bit lower wit 1.216 max
stability confirm by 5 round of IBT.
i think dats pretty good wit no vcore increase......................

IIRC, mine can do 3.2G at default...but was struggling to reach 3.6v...

when will Nehalem be available in the market? surely will grab one...if the price is good

same same with my ex q6600 with the default VID of 1.3

but then i can reach 3.6 quite easy wor...just add vcore till 1.45-1.5 only iirc

to me...if vid = 1.30v, then 1.35v ~ 1.375v to achieve 3.6v is easy...1.45 ~ 1.5v considered not easy already coz u need to up ur vcore a few times before getting it stable...yes, mine also can do 3.6G wif 1.5v...but considered struggling la

aiks this is not 45nm mar...... even 45nm q9450 oso hardly does 3.6ghz with lesser than 1.4v unless u got a pretty nice chip.....greedy la u

i manage 3.4 wit 1.4v & 3.6 on 1.45v
those vcore r the setting on bios which will result in a little bit lower actual vcore.
but dis 1 din't test wit IBT.

=.=

btw, i7 kick ass even on default but not a very good overclocker.

arent we all greedy

Just finished OCed my Q6600 to 3.6GHz.... Now struggling to get a stable setting for a lower voltage setting.... Can anyone share???

wat is the current vcore dat u set?
fsb & multiplier?
