my ram ddr2-800 oc to 961mhz, if 1.9 surely keep crashing... i no choice but to put at 2.3 for stability >"<

My latest attempt @ 3.8Ghz


Attached thumbnail(s)

i wanna ask, anyone reached 4.5ghz b4??? for those who've reached it, can u tell me wats ur vcore???

I dont think so you can reach that speed with q6x00, but last time i think i saw someone with that speed on q9xx0 series proc.

me, mine can do 4Ghz at around 1.55vcore... but very hot and not that stable !

Not that stable doesnt mean it can run at that speed

Mine 4ghz bootable also, but only stable at 3.8ghz

guys, i think its time for new games to fully utilise our quad core procs. look at recommended requirement for GTAIV here. it says:

GTA IV PC delayed, system requirements

Rockstar has confirmed the rumoured delay of GTA IV PC that puts the release of the game all the way back until December 2nd. The announcement confirms the change in retailer dates that were first spotted on retailers websites.

The delay puts the release of the game back by two whole weeks, though Rockstar haven't explained what exactly the reason for the slip is.

The good news though is that Rockstar has at least released the minimum and recommended system requirements for the game, which appear similar to those which had previously been leaked by Microsoft's Games for Windows website before they were removed, Check them out below.

Minimum System Requirements
* OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3
* Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz, AMD Athlon X2 64 2.4Ghz
* Memory: 1.5GB, 16GB Free Hard Drive Space
* Video Card: 256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900

Recommended System Requirements
* OS: Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3
* Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1Ghz <----------------------concentrate here
* Memory: 2 GB (Windows XP) 2.5 GB (Windows Vista)
* 18 GB Free Hard Drive Space
* Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870

means games are starting to favour quads over duals



oopss..sorry sorry. i forgotten dis is not hardware thread..i can delete it if u guys wan it.

Added on November 14, 2008, 9:13 pmsame as me T_T.. 4ghz can boot to windows... but try do prime95 test, blue screen after 30 seconds =.="... vcore at that speed 1.616... so high can kill my proc @@...

Mine at 3.8ghz full load with LinX max 90c lol, that's with 1.625v pumped to that proc.

1.625 @@... dun dare go dat high, i get over voltage warning, 1.616 is the highest can go without warning ...

mine @ 3.8ghz i just use 1.55 vcore can pass performance test, but havent tried prime95 yet >"<... 3.6ghz @ 1.45v full load temp less than 70c for each core and defnitely stable cos pass prime95 test for few hours

i just saw 1 guy wif 4.3ghz wif a Q6600. need phase change
he's in this forum but not this thread i think

that is extremeocer
It is possible to get Q6600 to 4ghz+ 3dm benchable on air/liquid

Time to stress that proc bro

HOW HOW!!!.. interested here ahahaha... but can someone tell me wat factors cause bluescreen when benchmarking my proc @ 4ghz??? izzit temp too high or voltage too low? >"<

normally is not enuf voltage

Vdimm,Vcore,GTL Ref,VMCH bla bla bla,a lot of thing could go wrong

U missed something more important than that

The cooling system
