q6600 @ 4.1 ghz :p

If you dont mind me asking, how were you able to accomplish that. I'm getting my Q6600 this Thursday and I plan to overclock it at 3.6ghz, thats my goal. Also I'm new to Intel..... Been a AMD Fan Boy ever since Athlon XP came out. :rolleyes: Thank You in advance

e6300(1.8) @ 2.8GHz for about 8 months there on stock cooling.

put it back to defaults though because its fast enough for what i do so it was just extra stress on the CPU and northbridge (which is passively cooled) for no real reason.

the core2's are a dream for overclocking though.

NVIDIA e-GeForce 8600 GT (256mb DDR3)

Stock Core Clock / Memory: 540/1400MHz

Modified Core Clock / Memory: 648/1666MHz

~5hrs stable on 3DMarks06, ~4 hours straight of BioShock + Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. (never dropped below 55fps 2x AA with 1280x768 resolution on Bio / Cod 4 with max settings)

I'm running my Q6600 at 3.0 GHz. Considering putting it upto 3.3-3.6 GHz as it's running at 31?c idle. What do you lot think?

update, just got stable at 3.6ghz on my e4300

anyone know what clock i need for a wei score of 5.9? i'm at 5.9 on everything else, but 5.8 on the processor

How did you get 5.9 with your RAM? I got 2xOCZ2N1066SR1G and got 5.2:((

not sure :s

thats really odd, whats your latencies? mines at 4-4-4-12

check your load temps, after a few minutes at load, i get dangerously hot at 3.6, but i idle at 30?

buying my mum a new pc for her birthday, i'm putting it in her old medion case (from aldi) that she's had for years, i'm thinking of putting a q6600 in it, what are they like compatibility wise (not to up to date on quad cores)

I got 5.9 with my old 2 GB DDR2 667 SuperTalent lmao. ALso 5.9 now with my 4 gigs of Corsair XMS2 at 4-4-4-10, but even 5-5-5-18 got 5.9.

e6400 running at 3.0ghz. Runs at 30-32 degrees celcius during normal usage. Heats up to about 40-45 when playing games. This is on the intel factory heatsink/fan, gotta get a new one soon. Thinking artic cooler freezer 7 pro. Suppose to be awesome for the price and a lot of reviews i have read love it to death.

I wouldnt reccomend going for the freezer 7, i got 1 degree lower than the stock when i got one. If you want an upgraded cooler go all the way :)

Are you referring to the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro? I'll assume you're not because that's a fantastic cooler for the price. There are few that beat it in the $20 range, and it blows away the Intel stock cooler (pun intended) considering noise levels and airflow.

My overclock:

Running everything on the Abit IN9 32x-MAX 680i motherboard with two optical drives and two hard drives. Q6700 @ 3.33GHz on 1.39v. I've overclocked my 8GB of A-Data RAM (only $69 per 4GB kit) to 1000MHz, instead of the stock 800MHz on only 1.95v. It's still running at stock timings of 5-5-5-18, and it's cooled by the OCZ memory cooler. I'm cooling the CPU with a very quiet and decent looking Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, and the northbridge with a 40mm Scythe fan. I've overclocked the 8800GT from BFG's stock 625MHz to 700MHz. Temps still under 70c at load w/fan at 35% on the stock cooling. Everything is powered by an Antec NeoPower 650 modular PSU (with blue LED) and it's kept in the Antec Nine Hundred case with a couple of extra fans added by myself for good measure. Still extremely quiet. You hear ZERO fan noise, just the faint movement of air. Quiet enough to sleep by. (It's in the bedroom. Hardly hear it from the bed!)

4 Passes of all memtest's tests without a single error.

Passes Prime95 on all four cores at 100% for hours without errors.

Plays games like a charm and runs CS3 with flying colors.

Using Vista 64-bit to enable all 8GB of RAM.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
