No la..... just wanna OC a bit.... more performance for nothing ma....

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

Yup. Still available.

The latest stepping is still the G0 stepping (has "SLARC" written on the box/proc, to indicate G0)

thanx kmarc .. i'll join this clan soon...

it is SLACR not SLARC

Eh? I thought I was careful not to type wrongly.... Typo....

Anyway, I have almost finished my simple guide on overclocking the C2D/C2Q (see my sig)......

Going to add a E2160 and E8400 CPU as examples later on....

Any recommendation on how to improve it is welcomed.

Thx to bryanyeo87 for his feedback.

nice OC guide for newbies smore Gigabyte mobo haha

Yep, just got it from Cycom over the weekend.

Thanks, kmarc for the simple guide. Its really helpful.

well be waiting for ur arrival Xen0

how far Q6600 G0 can go using stock HSF??
im kinda shortage right now..which HSF is affordable around RM100-200??

i saw a lot forumer using thermalright 120 extreme which the price is...
xigmatek looks cool tho..
AC freezer 7..?? this one copper base rite?

i think 3.2ghz should be no problem for stock hsf.

definitely xigmatek since the TR is over your budget.

xigmatek is hard to find, isnt it?
someone sells it in the garage sales but currently no stock...

BTW, how about CM hyper 212..any good?

According to this review:
http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?...eid=2206&page=5
Seems to have impressive results. Its up there with Ultra 120.

no way the stock HSF will make it at 3.2ghz .. unless u wanna melt your cpu ..
how i know ?? i tried

really?
my previous q6600 only needs 1.35v to reach 3.2ghz.
is it too much for stock hsf already?

1.35 vcore already kill the stock HSF laa .. hahahaahaa
i oso need 1.35 to reach 3.2 ... now running 3.0 daily use at 1.275 vcore

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.

Highest temp at 54'c? That's ok ma.....

Mine is even worse, 3.2Ghz at 1.400v (BIOS), at load, it is 1.312v...... Core temperature at load is about 60-62'C

What's your vcore in BIOS?

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.
