Official Intel Overclocking thread

[Twizted_3kgt]

Alright i've reached the highest overclock possible with the setup I have, at least as high as I can get it to be completely stable. Tried a few successful suicide boots at 3.8GHz with ungodly voltage but wasn't stable by any means.

Processor: Q6600
Stepping: B
Revision: G0
VID: 1.3125v
Final Clock: 3.510.9 Ghz (390.1 X 9)
Final Vcore: 1.512-1.520v Actual (Set to 1.5625v in BIOS)

Power supply: PC P&C 610W Silencer
MotherBoard: EVGA 680i LT SLI
RAM: Wintec AMPX 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 800
Timings: 6-6-6-18
RAM to FSB: Unlinked (FSB @ 1560.0 MHz / RAM @ 780 MHz)
Final RAM Voltage: 1.9 Volts

Stress testing program: Prime95/Gaming
Hour of Stability: 1 hour Prime / 8+ hours Gaming (Crysis mostly, GoW, COD4, Bioshock)
Idle Temperature: (37C @ Tcase | 51C/46C @ Tjunction)
Max Load Temparture: (Small FFT's - 69C @ Tcase | 82C/77C @ Tjunction) (Blend/Gaming - 50C @ Tcase | 65C/60C @ Tjunction)
Reason for Stress Test End: Prime - Woke up from a nap and wanted to play / Gaming - Bedtime

Heatsink: Rosewill RCX-Z775-EX with 92mm Tornado Fan
Thermal Paste: AS5
Lapped Heatsink: no
Lapped Processor: no

Other information:

CPU FSB voltage: 1.4v
nForce SPP - Auto (1.4v actual)

Updated.

Wow you're on the ball today lol.

 

[Ste]

Yea, that will happen when you can't use your uber Crysis gamming rig.....

ok ill get mine in here soon, see if i can push 3.6ghz havent tested stability yet too hot for those voltages right now in Aust XD

I honestly do not want people giving me sucide information, or settings they won't normally run 24/7. I and I am sure many others are just interested in what settings you can run for the longest periods of time...

So Please try to keep that in mind.

does having ram timings from 4 4 4 12 to 4 4 3 8 make a big diff?
i have my cpu at 3.0 ghz now and timings at 4 4 4 12.

holy crap veedub, 55C at load? did you run orthos or prime yet? what are your load temps during thaT? Becuase that is really low. lucky lucky lucky. what a nice chip

 

[PRVRT]

Mine runs same temps. 55c is normal with a lapped TRUE 120. Highest I have had was 60c @ 3.725GHz with room temp @ 73f. Hard to beat a good lap job and the TRUE.
