Just got my Q6600 GO From club it!!! *if you get your GO post pics here*

[Swatman]

omg im so happy. i got the 23 A that so many people are having good OC's with. i love you club it, and in time you will learn to love me.

Stop taking pictures and show us some results! (Please)

Good Luck!

[Swatman]

^ cant till i get my mobo tomorrow

[shirker]

nice! the Q6600 I ordered from ncixus a long while ago has the same batch code and production week, L723A, except the pack date is July 13th as opposed to July 27th. Each batch must be huge if it takes them over 2 weeks to pack them all for distribution

[blackjackel]

just got mine from clubit.... don't have a cam but here are the numbers:

BX80562!6600SLACR
MM#: 891337 <----- I HAVE A 1337 version! I hope it overclocks well!
FPO/BATCH: L721A814

lolol swat it looks like you are buying all the same stuff I am :D

Well hopefully mine comes from club it early next week .. Even though I still need to purchase some items the whole "FIND A g0" thing will be over with.


mine probably wont be a 23 A but who knows

[OnDborder]

So how can you tell it's a G0 from looking at the box? The "SLACR"?

Swatman, my label is the same as yours on the Q6600. We will have basically the same system except I went with the IP35 Pro and I am keeping my OCZ Powerstream. All my stuff got here today. Let the fun commence :clap: :clap:

Wait a second... that is a 70% overclock!!! Without even trying? Are those temps idle or load that are lower than 4300?

It is 23A like everyone else. Screenshots coming.

[Maverick0984]

Well, I have some dissapointing news. My PC would boot up at 1.3675 but I hadn't stress tested it yet but I figured it was a pretty low Vcore so after stress testing it would get there. Unfortunately it hasn't.

Right now I'm at 3.44Ghz w/ a 1.3875 Vcore

It's respectable, hopefully after some more tweaking I can get it to 3.6Ghz.

The temps are a little high, but it's within spec and obviously this is the unnaturally high load, so I think I am okay, what do you guys think? My ambient is 29C so that doesn't help obviously.

Make sure you look at CPU-Z not CoreTemp for the Core Speed :p. I'm running FSB of 430 with a multiplier of 8. I just dropped that from 450 though, and didn't try anything inbetween. I also might try redoing my lapping. It wasn't exactly flat, but it was pretty darn close. I was too anxious and wanted to try my Q6600. With the temps ranging from 67 to 61, that seems like a large difference. Maybe a remount is all it needs if the AS5 didn't spread like I anticipated.

Has a pretty darn good VID if you notice. 1.25 V :D

[M Diddy]

Hmmm... I'm running 3.3 right now with VCore at 1.32 set in BIOS. All my Windows programs are reading 1.30 voltage though. I tried running it up to 3.4 but even at 1.38 Vcore, I couldn't get it to pass OCCT without crashing. 3.3 is fine all day long at 1.32 in BIOS though.... Not quite sure what the problem is... Temps are fine even at 3.4, going no higher then 64C...... Any ideas???

[bing]

Folks, if you're bored & feel numb with finding the highest OC, mind try undervoltage stuff and update here (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=520284) .... please ? :)

[GTengineer]

Wait a second... that is a 70% overclock!!! Without even trying? Are those temps idle or load that are lower than 4300?

This looks to be THE cpu then!

This is 3.6GHz with 1.45V but I have not optimized the voltage yet and load temps of 60C using the quad core multithreaded version of Prime95. My 4300 required 1.55V to reach 3.4GHz and at 60-65C load temps so definitely better than my 4300. Actually I have two cores that run constantly 10C cooler for some reason.

I have posted at 4GHz but I think it still need some tweaking to load windows. I have not had much time to play with this yet :(

I wouldn't say it is THE cpu though, it is not too bad though ;) I was pretty surprised though that I booted with the old setting that my old 4300 was running off the bat when I first turned on the computer and my temps were even lower! :D

Have you tried upping the NB, FSB, and SB voltages?

Or playing w/ the strap setting?

[GTengineer]

Well I finally got around to testing this thing a lot more.

My 24/7 overclock is: 3.6GHz (9x400), Vcore 1.46875V (BIOS), Temps = 32 idle, 55C load

Maximum OC: 3.95GHz (9x439), Vcore 1.6V (BIOS), not stable to stress other than SuperPI
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=228923

I have found that I can almost post at almost any clock speed I was able to post up to 4.2GHz but nothing above 3.95GHz actually gets into Windows. 3.6GHz seems to be a sweet spot, and the maximum Prime 95 stable OC I can get is 3.7GHz or so. HOWEVER I have found that now my work computational codes are a lot less stressful than Prime95 so I can run up the clock speed for those and still be stable :D

I think the Vdroop on my mobo is what is holding me back because I can actually post at 3.8GHz, and 3.9GHz without a problem but one core will always crash under Prime95.

Really happy with the results though even 3.6GHz is crazy on a quad core! This thing just feels like it wants to OC.

Very nice. :clap: Though its interesting that your computational work is more stressful than P95 though not suprising I suppose. I wonder if there's some other standardized type test out there that can be more brutal.

I have very good cooling though Apogee GT + MCR320 radiator (triple radiator) with 6 fans on it. My highest temps on the hottest core is only 60C, the average on all 4 cores is 55C. So 1.46V is no sweat.

What is your ambient temp, nice OC BTW, I'm jealous, I'm only at 3 G's and my core temp under load is hitting between 64 and 68 C on core 1:(

[GTengineer]

Well it is approximately 26C this is very roughly because it is a reading from the A/C thermostat which is pretty inaccurate. I don't really have any other way of measuring this down here in Miami.

The weird thing is that under full load the hottest core is 59-60C and the coldest core is 50C!

[GTengineer]

Gautam, what is really strange is that on my 4300 my thesis codes were more stressful than Prime and Orthos. However now Prime95 (the quad core version) is more stressful. This is probably due to my thesis code not being as optimized for so many cores but thats just a guess. Either way it's nice to know I can crank it up a bit more for work :)

There's no way of really knowing honestly, VID can vary quite a bit within the same exact batch/FPO codes.

[shirker]

There's no way of really knowing honestly, VID can vary quite a bit within the same exact batch/FPO codes.true enough, and I know they can greatly vary, but if one batch tends to have lower VIDs and higher overclocks than another, it makes my chances of lucking out with a great chip that much closer. In the end it may not even matter at all, but it gives me something to keep my mind on until my motherboard gets here

[uclajd]

Hey old friend Gautam,

I've long felt that 3DMark 2001 and video encoding especially are the hardest things a processor can do, more than the math stuff. Surely there are parts of the processor that the math apps (SSE?) don't use that video does. Even video gaming heats things up like hades.

Going to test my G0 (ClubIT L721A814 7/31/07) this week, as soon as I pick up some Arctic Cooling MX-2. :beer:

Got it to 3.4ghz @1.356v; 12+ hrs prime (small fft )

The settings in the bios:
379x9
DDR2 overvoltage control +.3
PCI-E overvoltage control +.1
FSB " " +.1
MCH " " +.1

Tried and "wanted" 3.6ghz but temps got too toasty for me; 68c
Low 60's i can live with, but high 60's:burn:
So i guess it'll have to stick with 3.4 ghz ...well that's until winter rolls around :D

Waiting to get some MX-2 which should be out in a week or so
according to Arctic Cooling.

Gonna test with Prime (blend) now.

Just had gotten mine yesterday ( thanks swat for the link ) .. Its also the "L33T" hehe batch code .

So even though their email system is shotty everything turned out fine. I cant wait to bring it to 3.4 since it seems most people with a g0 have gotten there before temps seem to get a little crazy.

G0, 1.2625 vid, L721A, pack date 7/31/07

Tjunction shows 100C

CoreTemp doesn't show a revision though... strange. CPU-Z definitely shows G0.

EDIT: does 9x333 and 8x400 great under load w/ stock cooling in an ABIT IP35-E w/ 1.3v in BIOS, 1.24v in CPU-Z.

[pcmaker401]

Cool..nice to know someone has it too...
I'll be using stock cooling too, so I'll post up my temps when it gets done..

Could you contribute to Bing's thread with the lowest Vcore the processor can run at stock speed? I'll put mine up too when I get the chance...

i GOT MY SLACK FROM CLUB IT!!!

[Papafox]

I also got a Clubit Go Q6600 this week. At stock voltages (Speedfan says 1.17V) my first overclock was to 3.0Ghz (333x9). Temps are quite decent even after 15 degree adjustment. Will go higher soon. Easiest overclock to 3Ghz I've ever done!

CPU: Q6600 G0 revision, MM# 891337
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme (No fan attached to cooler)
no lapping needed, Arctic Silver
Load under dual Orthos: approx 50 degrees per cpu (after adding 15 degrees)
Room temp: approx 76 degrees F
MB: Abit IP35 Pro
DDR2: Crucial Ballistix

[dudleycpa]

Papafox - Have you tried Core Temp? You might be surprised with the results.

Nice overclock! An "easy" 3.0G is a blessing.

[Papafox]

I installed Core Temps as you suggested and temps were the expected 15 degrees above Speedfan temps, but I already took that rise into account and 3.0Ghz at load still is about 50 degrees, with nice, cool idle. This looks like good 24/7 setting to me.

To get 3.2Ghz speed, I had to raise Vcore from 1.30 to 1.33 (1.32v might work but haven't tried yet) and temps at load are close to 60 degrees. CPU voltage shown by speedfan CPUZ showed 1.15V, which is LOWER than when I used Vcore of 1.30. Hmmm. I'll use 3.2Ghz for flight sim sessions.

I'm sure this CPU can do higher, but will leave that to the liquid-cooled gang.

Right now the debate going on in my head is air vs water..never have done a water cooling setup and I'm worried about fitting it in my LianLi v1100. I'd just be cooling the CPU, but I would probably want a 2x120 rad, which looks like a problem in my case.

[JamesXP]

That V1100 isn't small at all :O

[oscrogo]

That V1100 isn't small at all :O

It is and it isn't. The problem comes when you want to mount a rad without having to cut into the case. A 1x120 rad would be fine to mount to the rear 120 fan, but a 2x120 would cover up the vid adapter (or PSU if mounted the other way) if mounted on the outside with a radbox (unless my eyes deceive me when looking at pics of a 2x120 rad).

I guess I could mount it to the top and drill holes for standoffs/radbox and the tubing.

*feel like I am hijacking a thread....*

[JamesXP]

Mount it on the top.


Go look in the watercooling stickies for examples.

I got my shipment of Q6600's from clubit.

I got a tower of them! Building blocks!

[drshivas]

Tower of Power!! What r u gonna do with all those quads!?

[situman]

little result

[geoffchad]

Thats really impressive! Temps are a little warm - are you air cooled or water cooled on that setup?

(And on the Q6600s, I bought 6 to see if I could sell/trade them for other parts, I'm only keeping one of them)

I thought about doing the same thing w/ th G0 x3210 once I found them.
My wife would have killed me, though!

Another problem I can see is that these CPU's are a little overpriced right now. They may drop in price...slowly, but drop nonetheless. You may want to move them quickly.

lol, priceless.

I also got a Clubit Go Q6600 this week. At stock voltages (Speedfan says 1.17V) my first overclock was to 3.0Ghz (333x9). Temps are quite decent even after 15 degree adjustment. Will go higher soon. Easiest overclock to 3Ghz I've ever done!

CPU: Q6600 G0 revision, MM# 891337
Case: Antec Nine Hundred
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme (No fan attached to cooler)
no lapping needed, Arctic Silver
Load under dual Orthos: approx 50 degrees per cpu (after adding 15 degrees)
Room temp: approx 76 degrees F
MB: Abit IP35 Pro
DDR2: Crucial Ballistix


Are you still overclocking the chip in a passive config ? You are only the second person I have come across that is doing this besides myself.

I can get it up to about 3.45Ghz with strong air on this sink,with good stability,but decided that I wanted to try complete silence.

So far so good.With 95.3 small fft's on all four cores,it loads about 64c to
70c depending on ambients.

[d4m0n]

No pic, but I placed my order with Newegg on 09/05/07 (FedEx Saver) and rec'd my G0 Q6600 today by noon! Of course, being 10 miles from the warehouse helps. Got mine from their CA warehouse. :beer:

[ffzen]

Was at 378x9 = 3.4ghz ; 1.35v

Now I'm at 400x9 = 3.6ghz ; 1.43 vcore ; folding on it 24/7
Temps are in the low to mid 50's.

I also did the following changes:

-Added another scythe SFF21F fan for push/pull
-Wiped off the AS5 and used MX-2 instead
-Organized the wires in the case slightly better
-Put a dime under "X" legs of the TR for a slightly tighter fit.


Temps now are slightly better than b4 even though voltage is increased
from 1.35 to 1.43

OMG. RENDER FARM! :drool::drool::drool:

Just that group of Q's costs more than my entire tower is going to cost. Envy ensues.

[redrumy3]

just got done playing with a friends quad from club 23A

so far on stock volts we got with a zalman 9700 but he ordered a tuniq tower he loads @ about 65c but his zalman fan is dieing lol

Wow, wish I had money for a quad-core... Good Luck to everyone here!

[inkfx]

I ordered a G0 OEM a few days ago. Got here today but it's a SL9UM. :(

[ffzen]

Serious? Thought all Clubit q6600, are G0s.

[inkfx]

Yep, SL9UM L721A.

[GTengineer]

Yep, SL9UM L721A.

Did you order specifically from their Q6600 G0 link? If so I would send it back to them and a new one. If you did not order a G0 specifically then not all is NOT lost, check how recent is the pack date, it may be a more recent chip.... my G0 is L723A. It seems the newer B3 chips have OCed very well too. It is just that the G0 guarantees it is a newer chip and most likely will OC better. With a B3 you run the risk of getting a chip that was packed back in March.

[ffzen]

Clubit doesn't sell q6600 B3 oems; at least not the last few weeks that i've been following it.

Inkfx ordered his a few days ago. i ordered mine over a week ago from them, and got a G0

[inkfx]

Yeah, I definitely hit the order button because I was supposed to get a SLACR guaranteed. I tried giving them a call but their lines were busy so I will try back in a little while. I'm willing to keep this Q6600 and give it to my dad and just order another one if they can assure me it will be a G0 this time. Maybe I could even go as far as getting a specific stepping, who knows.

Dude...at least test it out. Just because it doesn't say G0 on it does not mean its a poor clocker.

In fact, if you can find a chip that clocks similar to a G0 on air its normally way better for all types of benching ;)

[inkfx]

You're right Wa77s. I'm gonna throw it under my water set up right now and see what it can do. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope it does as well as some of the G0 quads I've seen. Perhaps the L7 stepping is enough for it to shine. Either way, I think I'm still going to order another one and see which one clocks better. My dad saw this thing today and wants one, haha.

That P5K board should help a ton with FSB too :)

That's the OCF spirit!

Cant wait to hear your results...

[inkfx]

Well I'm at 3737mhz 1.52v.

VID: 1.275v

Temps:
49
44
44
45

Starting up F@H SMP right now. Will let this go for a little while and report back with the load temps.

I'm sure if I gave it all the volts I could it would boot a lot higher but I havn't even tried that yet. Just looking at the daily clock right now.

EDIT - It wasn't stable at that speed. I just get EUEs in F@H. How do I get Orthos to stress all 4 cores? Whenever I launch it I just get 50% usage.

[inkfx]

GTengineer - What kind of voltage did it take for you to reach that 3.8Ghz 24/7? Also, what did it take for 4ghz?

[inkfx]

Looks like 3.6ghz is the most this will do for 24/7. I couldn't get 4Ghz to boot into Windows. I may be able to boot at like 3.9 then just SetFSB the way up but I'll try that later.

edit - I just got off the phone with ClubIT and my G0 will be shipped out today. So this B3 will go to my dad and the G0 will be mine. The guy I talked to said this is the first time this has ever happened but if it for some crazy reason happens again they will upgrade me to overnight shipping. Although, the chances of me getting another SL9UM must be very slim.

Right now I'm at 3.6 @ 1.5v with this Q6600. My friends L723A G0 was doing way better than this. 3.6 @ 1.44v.

edit2 - I backed down to 3.4 because temps were getting up to 80C load with my fans at 7v. I can't have that because I need to be able to turn my fans down and still have acceptable temps. I'm not trippin, though. This Q6600 will be fine for the short period of time I have to use it.

how so? :eh?:

[GTengineer]

GTengineer - What kind of voltage did it take for you to reach that 3.8Ghz 24/7? Also, what did it take for 4ghz?

This is with cpu voltage damper enabled:
for 3.6GHz I need 1.41V real (1.43V BIOS)
for 3.8GHz I need 1.51V real (1.53V BIOS)

I can boot and benchmark at 4GHz @ 1.6V (BIOS) can't remember what it was the actual voltage reading. That 4GHz is not prime stable but I can bench almost any benchmark.

I have about 0.02V error difference between BIOS and real.

[inkfx]

Yeah, I'm willing to bet my friends G0 Q6600 would've done about the same too. I never did any extensive testing on his rig. Just set it to 3.6, 1.45v and let it go. Oh well, I only have to use this B3 until Monday when my G0 comes.

yeah Q6600 G0's have been pretty consistent in their OC's as you can see here:

that B3 doesnt look too bad though

[jason4207]

How do I get Orthos to stress all 4 cores? Whenever I launch it I just get 50% usage.

Use the latest P95. It runs 4 threads automatically. You can get 2 instances of Orthos to do it if you set affinity, but it's a PITA.

[redrumy3]

well decided to put tuniq in friends pc and push quad some more, testing to see if its stable and going to run 3dmark06 :) will report back

Update that version of CPUz. The new version is reading voltages correct.

Nice, thats almost the same as mine (L723A841) and low VID too! Are you sure you cannot run it a bit lower vcore than that?

[torin3]

Max I can get on mine at any voltage is 3.251Ghz. I think I need to improve the PWM area cooling or tweak the GTL settings to get any higher.

[inkfx]

No, I've got F@H SMP running which puts all cores at 100%.

Nice, thats almost the same as mine (L723A841) and low VID too! Are you sure you cannot run it a bit lower vcore than that?
I havn't even tried. I just set it to that in BIOS and it has been working and don't really mind the temps. But since you mention it I will try for lower vcore before I go to sleep.

[inkfx]

Up to 3.8 with minimal voltage increase. I'm likin' this G0 quad a whole lot. :D

Can I make a suggestion totally unrelated to your OC?

Instead of using some silly thing called "AIM Ad Hack" which I can only assume is something to remove the ads from normal AIM. Download this instead and uninstall that horrible thing AOL has burdened you with.

http://www.pidgin.im/

[inkfx]

Actually, I don't even use that ad hack. I've played with a bunch of 3d party AIM programs and always end up going back to AIM 5.9. It does everything I want with no bs.
