Why I love my Q6600 GO

[Paulieg]

A pictures worth a thousand words..:rockout:

[panchoman]

you can go higher, you can probably get 3.8 with about 55C load(random estimate) since you're chip is doing so well at 3.55. congrats and keep up the good work.

[hat]

cant.... read.... screenshot.....

[Chewy]

yeah ss is hard to make out but nice indeed :P I may get this as my nexted cpu... I think all batches of q6600's are g0 stepping now aint they? seems that way.. thier on for a nice price nowadays too.. and peryen is not going to be much better... just a little more overclockability.

[panchoman]

ditto with chewy. i believe intel isn't producing b3 stepping anymore.

[Paulieg]

I always post with thumbnails. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not sure how to post a full size screenie here...LOL

[panchoman]

i think you upload the image and add the pic to the post via the url. im opposite, idk how to do thumbnails rofl.

Funny, I dont know how to post thumbnails... just full size! lol

[b1lk1]

I still love my Xeon X3210 B3 since I got it for $250CAD shipped to me. It's amazing what these G0's can do, but there isn't anything out there a B3 can't tear through pretty much as fast.

Nice OC though.

[kwchang007]

I feel great, can do thumbnails and straight into the post.

Nice OC on the q6600 btw :toast:

Same lol... someone tell us how to post as thumbnails?

When your posting click on manage extensions.....you'll be able to figure it out from there.

[Paulieg]

How's this???9673

[hat]

I see NOTHING!!

[kwchang007]

How's this???

EDIT: I see the scaled down version. But the large version is still small/

I can't get my screenies to post full size from a file....

[panchoman]

once you upload the pic, you need to link to it. by hitting the insert image button, which looks like a post card, and you type in the url of the place where the pic got uploaded on tpu.

[kwchang007]

Load it to an image uploader. Then take the url and put it into this (url here)

[panchoman]

well hitting the image button is faster lol :toast:

Problem is that I use paint to save my screenshots, and it save them small. Any good/free screenshot software out there?

Just go to download.com and type in screen shot, then set the filters.

i use paint, i get full screen ones, its like ctrl print screen and then you paste that in paint, it'll ask to enlarge the bitmap, so you enlarge it, and then save it as jpeg.

[Paulieg]

When I use paint, I'm not asked if I want to enlarge it, nor can I find an option to do so.

[panchoman]

0_o, just make the bitmap bigger yourself so that it can fit the full size screenshot.

OK....thats better

[panchoman]

yup, thats loads better

Paul all you do is save it as a jpeg with paint. Then using Internet explorer you open the reply to post button, then click the quick image upload button in the right hand corner of the message box, use browse, then choose your image on your computer, hit upload, after it uploads copy and paste the url from the quick image upload box, into the text and your image will post.

obviously this is a b3 stepping example

[Chewy]

Ic thanks man, Im upgrading stuff now my system will run smooth with my good ram :D getting a pk5 premium tomorrow.. well going to order it, than I'll prob upgrade my cpu if I find a g0 q6600... if not ill wait for 45nm chips.. almost have 2 computers here now lol, hopefully I find a computer buyer, will make this upgrading gravy/pocket change :D.

[trt740]

I purchased one aswell and combined with this motherboard it is unreal.

Upload your image to somewhere like Photobucket then place a link to that pic on your post ;)

[nflesher87]

geez guys, TPU has an image uploader built directly into the Post Reply screen! Wiz did it so we didn't have to go through all this confusion lol
it can be found at the top right section of the tools on that page

and PS good job OCing guys, I can't wait to get my Zalman 9700 on my G0 and see what it can do, I accidently shipped the retention bracket with the P5K I sold :banghead: so waiting to get that back, just been sitting at 2.7 at stock volts on stock cooling

and btw what do you guys think is the best temp monitor out there I always see a bunch of different ones in screenies but can't find many for dl...so links would be appreciated :)

[Elvardo]

Nice clock speeds, can't wait to clock mine when it arrives.

PS. If you find screen shots are too big or small, an ideal free programe to use for resizing is photogadget, get it from here h**p://www.xemico.com/photogadget/freeware.html it's a very good ap. :cool:

[nflesher87]

Not true evga A1 anf T1 680I boards were made to overclock quads just not the older revsions 680I boards.

Guys,
Whats the biggest difference between go and b3 stepping? Yeah, I have a b3.:D

Heat and voltage the Go takes less voltage and creates less heat so you can get a higher overclock at lower voltages.

[Fitseries3]

that's great... my f***ing q6600 wont boot after 3ghz on my asus striker extreme. i've tried EVERYTHING. i guess my q is a piece of s***.:banghead:

[newconroer]

I'm still confused on why these OC numbers are a big deal?

Were the non G0s that terrible to OC? I get that impression with everyone raving over the G0.
