Q6600 owners... what is your VID?

Mussels · Aug 14, 2007

You might be right, i was under the impression B3 OC'd higher than G0's on this mobo, which counters that idea (they;re lower wattage than a B3)

However its likely i'm wrong there, i've never owned/researched B3's fully.

Nice, I am just about to bid on an E6850 on flea bay, at the moment it's about 40% below retail price with 3 minutes to go!

Edit: Got it!......£125, cheapest I can find in the UK is around £168.....that will do me nicely!......E6600 anybody?

Swine!, why is it every time i try bidding on goods on ebay they ALWAYS go for MORE than retail

i just bought a new evga board and going to RMA my Foxconn 680I board

this is my new OC result with the Evga A1 version of 680I board

Running everest stabllity test for the past 30mins stable so far.... but is HOT!!!! up to 70C on air with full load now!!!!! im at 1.5Vcore 1.4 FSB Voltage 1.4 NB voltage..

im very impress with this chip and motherboard i got here awesome result!!! all my frustration is gone from that cheap ass foxconn board

I have a T1 and am getting a q6600 b3 stepping whats your stepping on that chip.

Cruising at 4.1Gig at the moment....volts good....temps good :toast:

let me know when you want one, I'll get you one for £125 no worries

I have a B3 and the VID is 1.3v. CPU-Z reports 1,280v idle and 1.232v under load. My VCore is set to 1.3250v in BIOS, lowest to get it to run totally stable @ 333x9.

Q6600 revision B3 1.25 Vid stepping 7

graysky · Sep 23, 2007

Okay all, this will be the final update; please don't post new VID data.

I'm not totally sure the integrity of the data collected is that high. What I mean by that is I have read several reports of different reported VIDs for the same chip on different boards. I have also read about the VID changing based on the speedstep state and other factors.

I started this thread hoping to see some sort of correlation between VID magnitude and vcore @ a given o/c level. I have received mixed reports on this front as well. I think the bottom line is there isn't a correlation between VID and overclockibility.

Since you guys took the time to reply to the post, the least I can do is update the data for the last time:

Replies for B3: 102
Replies for G0: 158
Total replies: 260 (a great response!)

I updated the first post of the thread with the new histograms.

Thanks to all who replied.

Mussels · Sep 24, 2007

thanks for that - i can verify i ran mine with speedstep disabled, but of course i cant verify for others.

My GO VID is 1.2750. I currently have it OC'd to 3.55ghz. on 1.43v. My temps are good, hovering around 50-55 in SG and 60-65 in coretemp. I know it has more in it though. The one issue I have is that it needs a significant bump in voltage over 3.5. I can get it stable at 3.6, but it wants more than 1.5v, and I'm not sure the increase in temps is worth the extra 50mhz. I can even get 3.7 booted and through superpi, but not prime or occt stable. I may give it a go after the AS5 has cured a bit.

Sorry must have missed this post before, I can now boot to windows at 4.2Gig with my new cooler and have voltmodded the GTS so am at 700 core running cool, I can now hit around 12,400 on 3D Mark 2006. It;s the A2 which is why I voltmodded but Gainward uses the very best chips which prob explains why I got decent clocks out of an A2 rev.
