couldnt agree more with you la bro...no need to go the hassle. unless it's something like vdroop mod, then can consider...but good info thou

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

well...after moving from one C2D to another, found out (more on guts feeling), i'm gonna stuck with this Q6600 G0 for quite some time...so, what the heck, i'll do whatever it takes la...maybe at the end, i will strip down the IHS and let my quad bare-naked.

aiseh bro, really sorry coz all my pic gone already when my raid matrix got screwed up but i can say that with proper lapping...best to do it on both the proc and hs, u gonna get a good result...how good, that one cannot say la...

is it ur quaddie?very good proc u got there bro

i think the temp is quite ok la...65c for core-temp and i believe that the tim is yet to sink in...my MX2 took more than a week to really show it's ability...the temp might goes down a bit after a while

in that case, then it might be the ambient temp...u really need to do something about it...mine last time also like that one...untill i drilled a hole at the sidepanel to fit the 120mm fan...then the temp droped to an acceptable value...sub-60c

@xen0,
u said u ran at 1600Mhz FSB...i think that would actually mean 400Mhz...quad-pump 1600Mhz...so 400x9=3600Mhz with the following vcore behavior:
cpuz idle = 1.344
load = 1.296
...well, my q66 would never even pass 3.4G with that vcore setting...so, r u sure u can do 3.6Ghz with just 1.296vcore@load?

ic...i tot u left the multiplier to 9x when u said left everything else at stock...
based on my exp, plugging in the FDP gave me nothing in term of the vdrop/vdroop...was really hope it helps but sadly NO...maybe it'll help if i oc the gfx which i dont

but that one is 3.2G at 65c la bro...imagine if he goes higher...will his q6600 stay below 65c

why don u reset everything (i meant with regards to the voltage setting)...for the vdimm, as said by gregy, 1.9v at that rating will not do it...up the vdimm to 2.2v...and set the timing to auto - so, no pressure on the ram side. next, what is ur vcore reading in bios...not the setting, but the reading on default. 1.25v, 1.275v. 1.30v...blabla. i think for a Q6600 @ G0, normally it does not require too much voltage to run at 3.2G...mine only need 1.26v but not all chip the same...so, if ur vcore reading bios at default is sub-1.30v...just set it at 1.30v and fire it up. if >1.30v, then put the vcore as 1.35v...1.40v for 3.2G is kinda too much unless ur vdroop is crazily high .
try it out and run the OCCT and have the temp monitored. even thou u r using Hyper 212, but sometime contact issue can cause the high temp.

i second that...budget one will perform almost at par with ur IFX or TRUE...unless by 'budget' u meant the good stuffs selling in the garage section for cheap cheap price...then go for it

geminiII is great in term of performance/price...can cool down ur ram module as well.
freezone is basically 10x expensive than geminiII...but ofcourse the performance is far better...for a dually that is.

can fit lah...put over the RAM module...so 2-in-1...cooling the cpu, the ram as well as the pwm(is it??)

i dun think anyone can tell u why coz that's the way it behaves...it's like asking why Mr. A can oc his G0 to 3.6G with 1.35v but mine cannot...something like that la...
like mine, i can do 3.2G wif 1.26v but for 3.4G, i need to pump at least 1.35v...3.6G, i need 1.45v at least...basically this is the FSB wall for ur proc at that vcore...so, in order to cross that wall, u need to 'jump' the vcore higher...mine is not a gem one and urs is clearly is not...nasib la bro...

agreed. i dont think u need to touch the NB voltage yet with that setting. It seems that you have a weak core (at least one of them). Prolly u need to pump up the vcore to 1.325 or even 1.35v...and once u got it stable at that vcore, try to find the lowest possible vcore. it think ur xigmatek still can hold the heat. btw, have u tried 400x8?

then, I think you have not properly follow the OC steps (i'm no expert in this area either). you need to know what is the 'wall' for your mobo chipset and ram first then start to oc ur proc within those boundary. if you dont have these figure, then it will be problematic for you to eliminate ur mobo chipset and ram from the 'culprit list' when u got problem on stress test.
anwyay, try to bump ur vcore to 1.35 and run the stress test. if stable, work ur way down to find the lowest stable vcore. if not, then again dunno whether it's due to your ram, chipset or proc.

are u sure running IBT for 50 rounds is a good thing...10 is considered banyak edi...50 rounds and that only proved to be 98%++ stable...ouch!!!

errr...kinda OT but how much do u think a pc running stress test 24hrs, say using 750w of psu at 80% of efficiency...will it be really that much of $$$...just wondering loh

and yet some said 8 minutes of IBT (basically around 8 rounds) equals to 40 hrs of Prime95
