Just got 1 pc Intel Q6600 Stepping G0 FPO/Batch : L724A858

All the result using :

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6
VGA Card NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX 768 MB (thanks to NVIDIA)
Memory Team Xtreem DDR3 1600 2 GB Kit (thanks to Fox Hound)
PSU Gigabyte Odin GT 550 Watt (thanks to Gigazone International)
HSF Thermalright Ultra Xtreme 120 with JMC/Datech 9cm Fan

3DMARK 2006 @ 3.8 Ghz vcore 1.45 volt, VGA default



4 x Superpi 8M @ 3.8 Ghz vcore 1.45 volt



Super PI 1M @ 4 Ghz vcore 1.485 volt




to be continued with dry ice cooling.....

woot looks good
can test with WC before heading to DI?

sorry, i don't have any watercooling system right now

fran,faster try how high can this proc go....
i oso hav 1 same batch,but cant oc.... bcoz got "Wall".....
but this stepping look like lousy thn batch L724A765 and L723AXXX.............
so sad......

What do you mean got wall..?

@leslie0880
assuming from your siggy that you are using an asus striker extreme?

if yes, then i highly doubt it is your procssor limitation, it is more of a mobo limitation

Nowadays "newbie" are very otai lor.. cant wait for dry ice result.

wah...every Q6600 that I know...all also 4Ghz OC, those G0 stepping batch are freaking good....

tat wht is mean got a "Big Wall" for OC lo....
i know the Striker Extrem jus can push the max fsb around 360-370.....haiz.....

btw this proc cant go up 500FSB?i saw some L723A can go up to 500 FSB....
this 1 4Ghz is Around 450 only.....

very quick test with dry ice since i only got 3 kgs of dry ice today

4.4 GHz @ 1.6 volt




Suicide shot 4.5 GHz 1.65 volt

woot, it looks strong for a quad core

i demand LN2 testing!!

Nice result. Post the LN2 result soon.

BTW, noob question here, I noticed u ran 4 SuperPI for ur q6600, then for dual core users should we run 2 ? Any advice are greatly appreciated.

for dual core running 2x is fully loading the cpu lor

for wht i c at XS,tat oso run 2 program only,coz this C2Q no really got 4 core,it jus die 2 C2D core in 1 processor,So Y Intel No call it as C4Q......

Because this is Core 2 generation...

good stuff..mind showing us some temps?

I think with DI surely below 0c lo. Correct me if i'm wrong.

why DI still bump so much vcore???

HaHaNoCluE...i have NoCluE of what u r saying?
he pushed the G0 to 4.4G,
to push the proc to 4.4G, it needs 1.6v,
to run the proc stable (prolly) at 1.6v wif freaking speed of 4.4G, he needs to use extreme cooling, this case DI.
so, i think that's about it.

it's not like if u use DI (or better cooling), then no need to bump the vcore - it's the other way around depending on ur proc ocability.

Actually with sub zero cooling, you can clock higher compare to air/water cooled with same vcore. Still reaching high clocks, you still need plenty of voltage.

oic... o thought if temp reach subzero then the vcore oso no nid so much, coz last time forgot wher the heck i read that the fella use phase cooling, n he uses much lower vcore to reach high fsb (lower vcore compare to wc or air cooling)... hmmm, 4.4GHz quad core... cool... maybe if he uses phase/cascade cooling like extremeocer doing, he can actually maintain it at 4.4ghz... hehehehe... btw, 1 stupid question... can xp support/utilise quad core??? i mean xp pro 32-bit...

Windows XP professional already support multi-core processor. Dunno about multi processor though.

simple setup:

cpu vcore: 1.48v(BIOS), 1.42(windows idle), 1.37(windows loads/ stressed)
ram voltage: 1.97v(BIOS), 2.02v/ 2.00v(over volt. in windows)
fsb termination volt.: 1.40(BIOS), 1.42v/ 1.41v(over volt. in windows)
NB volt.: 1.45v(BIOS), 1.50v/ 1.51(over volt. in windows)
SB SATA: 1.55v(BIOS), 1.55v(windows idle/ loads)
SB volt.: 1.075v(BIOS), 1.09v(over volt. in windows)

RAM: 5-5-5-15 2T, 1:1
speed: 426Mhz/ ddr2 852

ps: if i manage to hit atleast 8hrs of prime, it would be my 24/7 setup..

nice.
but what do u mean by 24/7 setup? u already put the Commando for sale...P35 is the next stop i guess. wif P35, i dun think u need that vcore to hit 3.4G with the Gr0

yeahh.. its put on sale but aint receive any "ok" offer yet
thats y still using it

No matter how expensive the P965 was, it could not even beat mainstream P35 today. Already hate this kind of stuff.

yupp, thats correct

only made some p965 board still expensive coz they built with high grades component compared to basic 35p board as u can see those 35p with high grades component price also sky high

dude...mobo fsb wall and cpu fsb wall for ure case

depends on 4 things.
1.Northbridge voltages
2.Southbridge voltages - dont overvolt too much
3.HTT/FSB voltages
4.Rams u have and straps on it ( hint hint look at ure JEDEC specs...its a start)

u can definately push it more.. just that u dont know how..

and second overclocking is for 1 reason only
benching is ok
but isnt it better to bench a 24/7 setup
and u need to balance out with ure GPU.
