Read all Q6600 G0 owners:

i will be aquiring a G0 soon. but wateva happened to the 3.9GHz at stock cooling? and heaps cooler. mine idles at 39c which doesnt seem to be too far behind everyone else

no way can a q6600 get 3.9 ghz on stock cooling! At tom or antec or somewhere they could only max out a q6600 g0 at like 3.6 ghz and even then they said it was unstable. Quad cores just can't OC like dual cores since they run so much hotter.

so Coretemp is the program to use?

i should have mine up and running next week.

WHAT THE ****?!

I just dl'd coretemp. PCAlert says 37C... but sure enough core temp says 52C = 37 + 15. What is this crap??? I'm not running a G0 but shouldn't it read accurately then? I'm so confused

Run coretemp and let it sit idle for a couple minutes. Write down the temps then restart, go into bios and check your temps against the bios readings. Coretemp is usually spot on for me give or take 1 degree.
Quads Tjunctions are 100 and, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think duos are at 85???

i no. wat im trying to say is all the people that were sayin it was possible were wrong. they dont even seem to o/c much better than the B3 does

those people are idiots. I wanted a g0 for sure instead of a b3 not because I thought it was light years ahead in overclocking capability, but because I simply havent waited this long to get an old stepping processor when I could get a new stepping processor for the same price. You still have idiots out there who are ordering from newegg hoping to get a g0 when they can simply just order from ClubIT for guarenteed g0s and the more increasing areas u can get a g0.

there are plenty of people that are doing 3.6-3.8 on air with a 1.5xx VCore

 

[Pdawg]

G0's are marginally better from what I've seen but it's not outstandingly better than B3's. I'm with you - why pay the same for even a little bit less. And also - I haven't tried to run stable at 3.6ghz. I'm pretty sure others are stable there (of course their temps were higher than what is probably wise). I'm very stable at mine but I think I could reach 3.4.

$282 guaranteed G0 on clubit

thats where i bought mine

3.8 on air? I think thats a load of crock, I tend to trust review sites like Tomshardware FAR more then users who want to brag about their "crazy benchmarks".
