This VID is the lowest that I see. Not sure how good OC will go. Please update us often.

Like shawty said, the VID would not be accurate if the EIST/C1E is turned on.

You can check out my simple guide on how to OC a Q6600 (in my sig)....

That's not the lowest, haven't you see mine?



Exactly.

VID on core temp is sometimes not accurate due to various settings. It can be manipulated too.

Look at my "manipulated" Q6600 VID which is actually 1.3125v....



A better software to show max and min VID is using the Rightmark CPU clock utility, which can't be manipulated.... (unless you use photoshop..... )

basically VID anything below 1.2v can give u some good clock speed.

btw if u want really high clock speed, may be u need to ditch ur zalman cooler hehe.... it not quite sufficient

I learned something new. Thanks.

Mind to show the sceenie in RightMark CPU Clock? both of you guys to check is it correct or not.

hi guys, i want to ask one thing :

Is it good to match Q6600 with DK P35?

TQ.

IMO the P35 chipset is a good companion to the Q6600. And with DFI boards being legendary overclockers I don't see why not.

DK P35 is one of the best Quad Core OC board

DFI mobo's are great OC mobo's for most proc's....the BIOS is so flexible....

thank you guys,i just grab this two items last week,but haven't tested due to busy with case mod.
But some says that if i match them,i will have a voltage drop problem..is it true?

huhu about vdrop i think almost all mobo in market face same thing bro im oso face with vdrop when using DK lastime..altho when using UT now i still face it

Just remember that vdroop is part of a power delivery design, to help reduce output-voltage spikes. It is not due to any flawed mobo.

However, better power design (which usually means more expensive mobo) would result in less vdroop.....

I have try DFI LP LT X38-T2R,set 1.17V,get 1.21V!!

hmmm...i had this happen on a P5N32-E SLI before...but only after i penciled a resistor....lol

hi guys. want to ask for some advices here.
i just got myself a Q6600 G0 rig with stock heatsink fan, 2x1GB DDR1066 Kingmax, Asus P5E, CM Real Power Pro 550W in a gigabyte 3d aurora full alu casing and good cable management.

i want to know if i use the stock hsf for now, at what frequency is it save to push my cpu to? i'm running it in a non air-cond environment.
is 3.0GHz doable? will it be ok with stock hsf and tuniq tx2?

if it is, what is the recommended vcore for the cpu, the bus speed, multiplier, divider etc to achieve it?

thanks in advance for all the advices.

if i were u i wouldnt dare to OC a quaddy wif stock HS. even with best third party cooling will generate more than 60~70c temp. change HS 1st then u can think about OC.

333x9,stock vcore,memory set to specify vdimm and set to 2:3 divider

icic... will probably buy an aftermarket hsf but not so soon. just not sure which good hsf can fit my mobo nicely since the surrounding areas of the cpu slot have copper heatsinks. worry they will get in the way.

those big hsf all looks super heavy... hope it will not strain the mobo even with the back plate on.

my Q6600 runs very hot. 60c@stock
