I am getting a Q6600 next week, but depend on the temperature and overclockability of current B3 stepping, I may wait until end of August to go for G0 stepping.

So, I need to know, what is the temperature and voltage required to push the current B3 Q6600 to 3.4GHz?

sincerly need help, please post your comment.

haha, not because dream about it, because some friend want to buy my current E6600 next week, so i have to decide should i let go my E6600 and go for B3 Q6600, or should I wait for G0 Q6600.....

irenic, what is your vcore and temperature?

So, this is a pretty good result, what cooling you using?

I am going to get a B3 stepping next week, no need to wait for G0 since i am on water cooling, should be good enough to keep it cool.

I need all the guru to help me.....

I dont know why, I got my Q6600 today, tested all stable, duo orthos full 4 core prime stable for more than 1 hours, I overclocked to only 3.2GHz with 1.375v.

but why the hell my Q6600 running so hot??? I cant believe it how come irenic can get 65c full load at 1.55v....

please tell me why... getting mad.

will that be so much of different?... this same cooling kit was keeping my old setup E6600@3.4G 1.5v below 65C full load and 40C idle...

but now it is 55C full load! i dont need water heater in my bed room anymore!

TT BigWater SE + CM AquaTrident CPU Block + additional radiator with fan(12CM TT Big Radiator with fan)

and something strange is, by touching the waterblock connector, i can feel that the water is not too hot because the copper connector is much cooler than my 8800GTS HSF(which reported only 63C), i believe the waterblock is perfectly seated and i dont know what make the heat not transfer to the waterblock, or perhaps it is just reporting error?

siao liao la...............

irenic, what software you used to mionitor temperature? CoreTemp? or motherboard monitoring software? when coretemp showing 80C on full load, my gigabyte easy tune showing only 67C......

jinaun, are you overclocked? what is the vcore?

compared to yours, I am water cooled, and you are stock HSF, i think your is much much more cooler than mine...

now i dont know should i trust coretemp or speedfan...

speedfan, gigabyte easytune, bios all give same result, which is verymuch close to the water temperature, my water temperature is 44C.

but, CoreTemp, Intel TAT, Everest give another result, which is almost 80C.......... which should I trust?

not really, my current Q6600 with B3 stepping also showing Tjunction of 100C on coretemp.

how about other's Q6600? Tjunction 85C or 100C?

you have the same exact problem like me....

have you tried stock heatshink?

hey guy, this thread was started by me, haha, but i am now moving to i7, very nice platform.

i believe most who overclocking q6600 is now overclocking i7
