currently at what nb/sb volt are u using if i may ask. coz thinking of doing the same as well....

Guys !

i did the following
1. Heat Pipe Mod - remove the head pipe and check for bend, replace the TIM and put in ceramique! then use small bolts and nuts to tighten it !
2. Lapping of TRUE 120 - from 200 > 400 > 800 > 1000 > 1500 grit sandpaper !
3. Using cleaning agents - Clean both heatsink and cpu surface using ACETONE ! (wow ! so dirty!)
4. Applying of Arctic MX-2 - Applied correctly this time !:p:
5. Adding another 120mm CPU fan - doing this to make a PUSH-PULL config for the TRUE 120 !
6. Adding a 40mm fan - Just to cool the PWM
7. Adding a 140mm fan - Supply the case with good air flow !! (my ram are cooler too !)

after all these, my PWM temp never goes up 65C under load !!! my Q6600 temp also wont go above 60C !!!










WOW !

emmm may i ask what is the maximum temp for q6600??

dont go over 70c !!!

4ghz, there is something there, no wander ur pwm so hot.....btw mind to ask, ur core voltage how high... blur already looking for previous post regarding ur setting

tell u guys something... NOT ALL Q6600 G0 have the same OCability !!!
MY Q6600 G0 have a VID of 1.25v !!! what is yours?

Conclusion
Lower VID = Better OC !!!

most Q6600 have VID of 1.3v !!! some have even 1.2v but very few !!!

for my Chip to go 4Ghz, need at least 1.55v !!! imagine that heat !!!!

yeah, very few Q6600 can do 4GHz with air cooling, so yours consider as gem but it's expected since the VID is 1.25v only

same as mine la, vid 1.25v ...but mine is a 'polished gem' ...a lapped quad...might have less value in the market

nice proc you got but then, why you running 3.4GHz daily? at least 3.6Ghz

last time ran at 3.6, then 3.5 and now 3.4...since running 3.6 or 3.4 will not really give me a real life diff, i opted 3.4 wif lower vcore...

I ever saw some Q6600 VID 1.2v !!! they can easily go 4Ghz at 1.45v !!! what the fark !!!

anyway, my Q6600 is a precious gem from Kvmcom !!! devil inside my mind keep asking me to LAP it !!!

but i still want it under warranty.. so better don't lap !

and where do u think i got mine ... so, dun lap la...coz a few months from now, u need to sell it off to get the penryn or wolfdale...like me, cannot sell it anymore la...if can, sure cheap cheap one.

Some new software last two days:
EVEREST Ultimate Edition 4.20 Build 1254 Beta with key:
HERE
Core Temp 0.96.1:
HERE

what is VID?

how do i know my VID? lol

3.4 and 3.6 ghz not much difference actually, cant get any noticeable difference.....

i forgot about mine, cant remember what is the VID value when i tested it.

i never try that high yet, let try find some time and test it

In CoreTemp can see your VID:

:thumb

the difference of performance is only noticeable in super pi calculations or extreme gaming where every Mhz counts in the FSB.. lol.

thx for the tip stasio, i was thinking last time how did i see my VID...... cant recall it, must be getting old already

haha, well it have a while since i last use core temp, i use riva tuner instead for hardware monitor with plug in to record the temperature graph........

few days already i didnt on my pc........ let me try to use core temp and see when i get home.....

actually i would live to stay in 3.0ghz, but when i play supreme commander forge alliance the cpu is bottlenecking in some games, therefore i force to push higher to get the game smooth going.....

common guys !!! PUMP ALL YOUR Q6600 to 4Ghz !!!!!!!!!!!

the facts

A QX9650 cost 3 to 4 times than a Q6600 !!!
but when the Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz is faster than a Q9650 @ stock !!!

So 4Ghz is more than enough to withstand till Year 2009 !!!!

so i will stick with the Q6600 till the next generation processor !!!
