err.. i wanna ask something... does stock vcore = VID???

hi guys, jus wondering if you could shed some light on a little problem i have. In terms of lapping, the ultimate goal is to get a mirror shine surface?

The important thing of lapping is to make sure the full contact of the heatsink n the ihs from the proc, not necessary to have a mirror shine finish becos it doesnt give much different than a non mirror shine, again the purpose of lapping is to make sure there is no concave or convex between the two surface.

yes. and every Q6600 VID is different.example: my current Q6600 VID is 1.275v, and maybe urs is 1.3v.

i know & will not tell anyone about the illegal trick.

bout vcore,i tried to lower it to 1.2v and after 5 minutes stressing,failure appeared.i will try ur suggestion bout lower the vcore and up the vtt.
there are some options on P5Q BIOS Ai Tweaker that find hard to catch up.

icic... yes mine is 1.3vid... but according to sites, a 1.3vid means i need 1.3 to run 2.4ghz with stability... but with just 1.272 i can run 3.2ghz de lor... 1.3 definitely can go 3.3 or maybe even 3.4ghz @@... so does this mean i can say my proc can run @ 3.3ghz on stock vcore????

what the shock?huhu.
some people tells that CPU-Z is the worse app to calibrate the temperature. i dont know why they said that,but i notice that
cpu-z state and bios state is different.that's coz of vdroop right?
and mine,with C1E enable,i got 1.136v default vcore.
with the differences of Q6600 VID,it's so hard to OC by adapt what people have been achieved,unless we try it by own.

There are chances, but some times even if your proc comes with low VID and everything it doesn't mean you can surely get excellent clocks with low vcore.

Hmm, I'm running 3.2GHz at 1.2V. Q6600 G0, 400 X 8 atm...still testing for stability. But one thing I notice is that at idle, the vcore is 1.23V but during load is 1.20V.

So which one is the one to consider? At idle or at load?

I agree with your statement, just like mine i have to put the voltage to 1.325 to get 3.2g stable n mine vid is 1.275 only, suppose to have lower v core volatage, but sometime the culprit might be the mobo.

During load. When load, there's a feature called vdroop so that sudden current of voltages wont burst your processor...

Correct me if I'm wrong

do a VDROP MOD

the vcore question really depends on mobo manufacture bios as well.

like gigabyte, even if i enable the loadline calibration, the vcore will still jump up & down during 100% load.
the real stable vcore is actually lower den wat i set in bios.

asus is the other hand has stable vcore.

testing my q6600 wit gigabyte x38-ds5 F6 bios

setting: 400*8 @3200Mhz, stress test wit IBT

its kinda weird.
the vcore i set on bios is 1.3, in os, the actual vcore jump between 1.248 - 1.264 @ idle.
during 100% wit IBT, its stable @ 1.232

hmmm... forget liao my vcore during load when at 3.2ghz,, but i think its around 1.25 during load... now @ 3.6ghz 1.424 idle n 1.392 on linx... set 1.45v at bios, n its the best settings i can go so far... will increasing nb voltage allow me to put lower vcore for my proc???

no no no ! increasing NB voltage unless u are not stable with 2 or more sticks of rams !!!

icic... my bad >"<... but if i wan to go 2000fsb, its recommended for me to increase nb voltage??

can someone telling me,when we sholud up CPU PLL and GTL reference voltage?
and on Asus board which one was act as RAM divider,FSB Strap to Northbridge or DRAM Freq?

1.33vmch works for me with 2k FSB for E8200. Stable throughout any tests.

for quads, above 425fsb need up Vmch abit already.u all consider very lucky to hv a good mobo.my current gigabyte vdrop is horrible. idle 1.284v.load will be 1.21v. my bios vcore setting is 1.34v like dat.

Core 2 Quad 6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 1066FSB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115017

OCed to:
Clock: 3.00GHz
FSB: 1333
Vcore: 1.35
Temp: 55C-62C w/ stock fan/cooler
----------------------
Qs:
1. Should I decrease my CPU voltage to 1.325 or 1.3? Or others?
Since I've seen you guys running OCed 3.0GHz @ lower than 1.35V.

3. How long will my CPU last if I overclock like this and use it daily basis?
-----------------------

*This is the 1st time I am doing overclock
