wah u guys wish i become lab mouse ar ? hehe

erm actually, i already grabbed myself a q6600 B3 stepping .. i know i should wait with G0 but since i have no processor to use, i've no choice but to buy this.. maybe if it's so sux, i'll buy a G0 once it becomes available in the store.. and the real reason i bought this quad core over the E6850 is bcoz i got few video editting works to be finished by next month.. so hopefully it worth to use this q6600 over the super overclocked E6850..

i'll share some info soon

Default Q6600 Idle temp..




Default Q6600 Load temp (15mins stress test)

enuff bout mouse..i hate mouse.. haha but stuart little is ok

erm yeah QX6850 is tempting.. but i wont spend so much bcoz better processor in penryn will be released later on..

so far i can boot at 4ghz, but then BSOD when i was login the password at vista..

and max bootable into windows is 3.85ghz.. aquamark and cinebench stable.. PI havent chance to do it coz it's located in an external drive n my friend borrow the external case..

3.85ghz:



3.85ghz cinebench:


3.85ghz aquamark (2900XT @ default):



3.80Ghz 3dmark06, xt @ 850/1100:

now the next quest is to find sweet spot for daily use.. i dun want to use more than 1.4v for 24/7 so let see whether this q6600 is like most c2d where 3.2ghz @ default vcore is just piece of cake..

Added on July 25, 2007, 12:16 pmmy vcore @ 3.8ghz is 1.55v while 3.85 is 1.6v.. temp idle is around 52c max, load is around 65c max

watercooling.. erm well if u browse around here :

u'll found out that so far the retail G0 oc potential is same like B3, just that it runs cooler.. but not much i can say..

wah ur temp damn hot.. 82c.. last time with my qx6700 and geminiII also wont reach above 70c :-s

erm maybe it's time for u to invest on better watercooling kit or high end aircooling..


and yes, G0 should run lots cooler than B3, but if u already own good wc kit, n manage to get good full load temp, so G0 or B3 wont make any difference..

some info regarding the G0 stepping...

... looks so far only got 2-3 results..

1 guy with aircooled manage to reach 3.6ghz stable on air, and max at 3.8ghz while the other guy stable at 3.4ghz @ 1.4vcore and 3.5ghz failed prime..

so far as predicted, G0 result is just on par as B3.. some are good n some are not..

guys, why ur q6600 all are so hot?

sorry guys i couldnt manage to test the oc potential of this GO yet coz my p35t dq6 and B3 just died..

btw here is the stock screenshot .. tested the G0 at Ataris place

well after some hardmod, i manage to bring my p35t dq6 to alive again!

but kinda bz today.. most probably will start oc this thing tomorow

hi, just wanna share some idle temps of this g0 q6600 under water..

setup:

c2d q6600 g0 L72..
gigabyte p35t dq6
2x 1gb kingston hyperx ddr3
hd 2900xt 1gb ddr4
cooltrek radiator 1203, dtek fuzion cpu waterblock, laing d5 pump, distilled water
corsair hx620w

Q6600 g0 idle temp @ stock



Q6600 g0 idle temp @ 4.05ghz 1.6vcore



Q6600 g0 idle temp @ 4.14ghz 1.65vcore

now is load temp for this q6600 g0 under water..

occt 15mins @ 1.475vcore 3.7ghz..

@k8118k.

maybe ur oc not stable enuff? or it also happen at stock clock?



neway my latest 3dmark06 journey..

Score : 13603
CPU : Intel C2D Q6600 @ 4Ghz (d-tek fuzion)
M/B : Gigabyte p35t dq6 bios F3i
RAM : 2 x 1024MB kingston hyperX ddr3 1350mhz 7-7-7-21
G/C : HIS 2900XT 1gb 855/1110
Driver : Catalyst 7.7
Mod : none




and here is the comparison between E6850 @ 4ghz and Q6600 @ 4ghz.. but the q6600 2900xt is clocked at 855/1110 compared to e6850's 850/1100

yups.. in terms of quad core overclocking, p35 is if not better but on par with 680i chipset.. which is far better than 965 and of coz 975..

and what makes p35 better than its 680i is the simplicity.. no need painful tweaking like the nforce one..

so gengstapo, bile lagi :-"

so do i .. no skill in tweaking a mobo so thats why never have interest in using nforce 680i sli board

hehe now i'm back to aircooling and back to my old trusted geminiII.. i dunno why many dun like this hsf but i totally satisfied with it..

now at 3.56ghz, same vcore as my wc before, (1.45v) and stable occt .. full load temp after 15mins OCCT is around 54c and previously with wc around 49c

well one of da limitation of 975 board is the fsb .. u cant go very high fsb.. even 400 also quite hard for quad core in normal situation compared to 965 chipset that can easily surpass 400..

but i still prefer 975 board over the 965. however, i dun this is the best board for quaddie now. i think either p35 or x48 board will do the job better than the 975..

it's hard to say this is better than the other one.. coz both has pros n cons..

for me i prefer 975 bcoz of it provides extra stability and extra performance clock per clock..

but for max oc, it still cant beat 965 chipset ..

btw, well for now if u want to choose the best mobo for quaddie, i think u can just skip this 2 boards... i believe both has their own glory in the past so lets give the highlight to the current chipsets
