hi guys..just wanna ask..is G0 version for Q6600 still available in the market?? izzit all latest stock is G0?? planning to grab one Q6600..thank you

it is SLACR    not SLARC

My initial OC using kmarc guide:


I am worried. The temp looks high@2.88Ghz only and the vdroop is also high@ (1.3375-1.248 = 0.08). Any comments?

I think for 2.88g at 1.3375v is on the high side, try lowering your voltage, i am at 3.2g n voltage at 1.325v consider not that good even compare with yours even worst.

My vccore at bios is 1.284 n cpuz read the same when idle load at 1.248, again temp hovering around 59-65 when quad prime, i dont know why so high temp, anyway i have been using for more than 2 months at this setting, so far so good. Admire your temp at only 60-62 even higher vcore voltage setting than mine.

hi..juz setup my rig and did some oc..but i hav problem to stabilize my q6600 at 3.60..even vcore set at 1.50v cannot stable..im using occt to test..or izit better using quad prime instead? thanks.btw my rig as in my sig..and my cpu VID is 1.2875

Reapplied my Q6600 with TX-2, previously MX-2, and in correct way of applying the thermal paste for quadcore. 438FSB x 8 , 3.5Ghz 1.424v 36c idle, 1.36v 51c full load with aircon. Good?

But then, that's blend test for Prime95. Small test is around 60c under aircon.
As for the way to apply, see this PDF.

I added two more dots to it.

I've replace the Xigmatek S1283 fan with a Panaflo FBA12G12U. That's a 120x120x38mm 114.7cfm fan.

nobody answer?   

Hello to all guru's 

1st attempt to overclock my Q6600 G0 1+ week old  (Hope i post in the right place  )

Click For Screen Shot

Currently stuck at 3GHz  Might be the RAM blocking me to go any further 

have fun!

oh yes it does

but thats assuming the voltage is a clean 1.5v without spikes above 1.5v la

it is????wow...never knew that before     . mmm...wait a minute, what i'm so happy about since i already lapped the q6600...clearly void the warranty. well, life goes on

my q66 oso need 1.5vcore in BIOS to stay stable at 3.0 8x375 ..
couldnt stay there long .. dont have sufficient cooling .. 77C during load 

52C is full load temperature @ 3.6Ghz,
using gigabyte easy tune to check the temp,
coz the core temp doesnt work out in my vista ultimate 64bit...

Q6700 can oc to how many GHz?i m not a oc  ppl

JackMin,Mar 2 2008, 04:49 AM]hi guys, im currently using the Asus Striker Formula 2 780i SLI mobo to try OC my Q6600, but im kinda stuck on 3.2ghz. Even on 3.2ghz, the pc sometime auto reboot itself. ive tried slowly increase the vcore , nb, cpu vtt, +1.2v HT, memory and etc but the problem stil persists so now ive lowered them down bcoz the northbridge seems to be overheating alot when its under load. (80+degree) i really dun understand how i can go 3.6ghz or even 3.4ghz as no matter how much volt i pump into it, just will auto reboot during window loading up screen.

On 3.2ghz, ive manage to run OCCT stable for 3hour so far, but dun know why when i tried orthos(small FFTs / priority 10) it sometime can few hour no problem and sometime can few minutes it will auto reboot. so does this mean my system not stable? a friend told me that my proc has a very low VID, so it suppose to be OC friendly? any advice on what i should be doing next? Could my 8800GTS SLI is causing the problem or my rams? thanks alot....

If I'm not mistaken, that number quite high for Q6600 @ 3.2GHz, isn't? Or that's the normal VCore?

Anyway, can someone elaborate me on how to calculate the VID + amount to be the total VCore?

I'm newbie in OCing and only going to try it out today. How should I start? Raise the FSB first or the VID first?

Oh icic. I had gone through your overclocking guide a few times already and I think I'll go through another time today when I really start OCing my rig tonight

Erm... calculate the VCore when added certain amount of "extra" VID (sorry, forgot what it called )

You mean I raise the FSB till at a level where I failed to POST or load Windows?

Ohh... got any application which could let me change the FSB in Windows?

My specification is as on my siggie. So, in another way you mean raise the FSB till gets error in Prime95. Then raise my VID Special Add if I wanted to go higher and then continue push my FSB, error, increase VID Special ADD... till I get my desired speed and stability?

Yes, i have set the Vcore to 1.35v in bios.

According to your guid, the reading in CPUz for vcore should be lower than the actual voltage in bios vcore reading.
From my pic, my Vcore in Bios is 1.35v
My cpuz reading in idle is 1.352v 
vdrop = -0.002? 

during load my cpuz vcore is 1.336 - 1.328 (changes)
then my Vdrop should be changing from 0.014 to 0.022v

should i push my vcore furthre abit?

ha ha... i can see you are having the same GHz as mine. but your Vcore is higher than mine... I will try again..
I am suspecting the PSU. i saw the review for this motherboard, the bus speed can reach 500+MHz... sigh... look at mine is like.... shit.....

by the way, i am using a CM450M real power. The efficiency is 75%. i saw the product range, after this series are the SLI already. So i was thinking this should be sufficient right since i am not in SLI mode.
