OC Q6600 stress testing help

[Lupiron]

Wow, thats actually awesome, if it keeps that up!!

Waaahhh, you changed it again!

To go from No load 1.408 to a higher load would be great! It doesnt need that high a voltage till it nears 100% power usage. To reduce itself naturally by a bit like that would prolly be good! but keep it either way!!!

Thats fine!! keep it at one or the other.

Thats now an excellent VDroop!

Remember, it will need right around 1.45 while under full 4 core small fft testing. I used 1.440 on mine, and got it stable with more tinkering at like 1.42x at the same 3.6 So it will be in that range.

You now have like .01 VDroop. Much better than .11!!

that is great result. the best reult is if there is no drop at all. so you can set precise vcore in BIOS and put it into real use.

 

[ps2asker]

Ok so I shouldnt drop vcore now? I had it running fine for 15 minutes in prime on 1.256(vdropping) before.

 

[ps2asker]

I'll change it back anyhow to my first setting with pencil

 

[iluvgillgill]

what i mean is its best if there is no drop in vcore under any circumstances. because this way you can set the precise vcore the chip is needed to run at certain speed, rather then up excessive vcore to compensate the vdrop and vdroop. can you do a load screenshot will all the monitor ultility open?

 

[iluvgillgill]

during prime small ffts.

 

[ps2asker]

Now i penciled a bit more, and changed vcore to 1.35, and here's screenshot after a couple minutes Prime:

Temp's are way lower now.

 

[iluvgillgill]

cant you push 400 fsb?that number is looking weird to me. maybe its just me prefer whole numbers.😛

 

[ps2asker]

I'll have to change vcore up again I'll try 1.40 as IM having a few probs.
Also, I cant get the pc to boot with the 4th memory stick inserted(removed to access resistor). Any ideas on that?

 

[iluvgillgill]

can you take a pictures to show your mod??

 

[ps2asker]

I only did the pencil thing and that cant really be showed in a pic.

 

[iluvgillgill]

maybe try up the memory voltage to higher point?2.1v maybe? as the more memory you put in the more voltage you need to feed them.

 

[ps2asker]

I have it on 2.2V already... 2.3 maybe?

 

[iluvgillgill]

erm...you could test. but i just wouldnt if the memory is mine.

 

[iluvgillgill]

check your other setting just in case.

[ps2asker]

Whats poor about it haha, I know im a little slow but come on 😉

there you go again!

 

[ps2asker]

I'm back
I let it run for a few days without problems at 3.2 Ghz and 1.425v. Then I today tried to get that 4gb of ram running, so I reset everything to default hoping that would work, but of course it did not.
So I'm stuck with 3GB of ram now, and have no idea why it does not boot with 4 ram sticks inserted, only 3. (I have tried removing different sticks so doesnt seems like its 1 bad stick)

 

[Lupiron]

Wow, that is odd. Unless a slot is actually damaged on the board? I dunno. That is very strange. Does it work with just 2 sticks in both sides? As in, Try 2 in the fist colored slots, then take them out if it works, and place them in the other color slots, so you know that a slot isnt damaged..

Maybe someone else will see this and know the problem!

[ps2asker]

I'll try that later, I am having quite some problems now, most of them has to do with the pc booting. Sometimes it fails to boot at all and you can hear the CPU fan go to max, and sometimes it boots fine but stops at the XP logo, and sometimes it boots fine but it gives me a message saying "Overclocking failed!", and that is after I have put everything in bios back to default. So it's very hard to get it booting normally and mostly I have to try it for 5-10 minutes to get it going...

 

[iluvgillgill]

sorry im quite off this thread now. can you post the 3.2Ghz setting you have?

 

[ps2asker]

Don't have that anymore, back to default on everything.

 

[iluvgillgill]

so you given up on oc already?lol

 

[ps2asker]

Temporarily to get the other stuff working again yes.
