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.

    • The level of stupidity at Google and Microsoft is beyond belief. All they are doing by killing this is forcing people to jump over to Firefox and ditch them all together, therefore giving Firefox the market boost it needs to finally crush them all in the end.
