Q6600@4ghz on air potential

[jerreece]

Average load: 79C+

Good heavens that's hot. I've read elsewhere not to take the Q6600 to 72c or higher.

Would be quite cool to see a Q6600 running at 4Ghz at a safe temperature though. Be a fast son of a gun.

heres my link, it is impossible to get a q6600 to 4ghz on air and run prime at the same time

As you can see i get it there but my temps blowup when I put 1.7-1.9v to it and thats what it will take to get it there

btw, the best mobo on the cheap which is not a cheap mobo is the msi p35 neo2-fr, i used it and achieved these results, i also used it on my qx9650 and achieved 20k on 3dmark06 and a 4.25ghz o/c on that processor but I only used 1.4v versus 1.7-1.9 for the q6600

What was the factory VID of the chip you used?

And yeah, I have been preaching the same thing. I just takes an insane amount of voltage to get prime stable after that 3.6-3.8 mark, depending on VID.

it was high i cant remember but over 1.3 if i can remember correctly, still doesnt matter, it does if you want to get prime stable at 3.6ghz but after that you have to push the cpu with rocket boosters, lol

 

[steeda]

oh, didnt read your last line, but that was what i was saying as well

 

[steeda]

i can get mine to 3.835ghz on 1.58v though

Yup. I have the best VID chip so far, but cant use it! Waaaahhh! 3.6 at under 1.300v Loaded!! But I lapped it, and believe it or not, that hairs worth of copper I removed makes it where my water block no longer makes full contact! Waaaahhhh!
