Oh... you used the conventional straight line method with additional two drops (I guess this additional two drops best fits with Xigmatek's HDT design). In the other way around, I used the thin layer (not fully covering the IHS) method with extra small dollop in the middle . Gonna wait till the next time I switch casing only reapply TIM ba, hard work if to remove the HSF now and reapply it while in the casing .

I see....... I actually put 3 lines of thermal paste, each one on each exposed heatpipe. My thinking is that you want good contacts between the heatpipes and the IHS...... I guess your 2 dots does make the other 2 heatpipes contact better with the IHS..... but not as good as a line!!!

Is the panaflo less noisy? I mean, the Xigmatek is already a 100cfm fan ma....

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

I have no experience with P965 mobos but the DQ6 is a really nice mobo. If it can support penryn processors, then it is a good buy.....

Yeah, your rams might be the factor. Why not find the limit for your rams first?

get the p35 ds3

@vearn27
It's quite troublesome when board is assemble in the casing. If not for that I want to install HR-05, I won't bother reapply the TIM as well.

@kmarc
It's more noisier. My casing right now has 3 high performance fans including the Xigmatek's all pushing over 80cfm, another two CoolerMaster low noise fans. Haven't install the Xigmatek inside yet.

Haha... yeah. Kinda regret never buy a casing with slide-in motherboard tray last time . Ah well... hunting for one now... any decent casing to recommend? Silverstone's TJ10 ESA?

Silverstone TJ-07.

TJ07 all the way la...sadly last time i couldnt get the tj07...so settled for tj09 onli...if i could turn back time, i might just wait

*note, you need to connect the vmod pin to a vss pin

anybody care to try it out?

based on your screenshot .. definitely not RAM factor .. hehehe
your vcore only 1.232 in CPU-Z .. at BIOS i think at most oso 1.25-1.26 .. this is the one holding u back
but if u do increase vcore .. then your temp will oso increase la no doubt .. but of coz higher clocks lorr

try running OCCT in your current settings .. see if it passes .. coz i couldnt get mine to pass at that kinda of vcore for 3.0ghz ..

Added on February 18, 2008, 9:49 pmwhats the purpose ?? mobo not enuff juice meh ?? hehehe
whats the cooling for that kinda vmod ???

If vcore , divider set to auto, i manage to clock as far as 3.2GHz+ But running on 4:5 divider

What's the max vcore Q6600 can run anyway? I read some article said that it will run 1.4+ voltage

EDIT:TYPO

i have ran my Q66 at 1.5vcore b4 .. this one to hit 3.6ghz only .. stable but my cpu cooler cannot take it ... temp jumped over 77C .. hahahahahaaa
until i get a new better cooler ... i guess i will have to live with 3.0 (daily use 24/7) for a while laa .. load temp is 62C with current scythe ninja cooler

how bout try urs... lol

just to mod to 1333fsb?

for me i willing to set in bios lo

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

well, it could boot the NB a looser timings or a looser strap, thus helping it to OC abit more

probable chance for the above happening is 1 in 100







have fun!

@bryanyeo87 - which CPU is Intel referring to? Don't tell me Intel covers warranty until 1.500v for the Q6600?

oh yes it does

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