what do you guys think of how low of voltage this quad needs

I think this is a unreal low voltage for 3.52ghz and ram at ddr1100

I think its great the Q6600 is just an awesome chip. I noticed the same with my quad. However as soon as I go above 3.96Ghz it suddenly needs at least 1.5 volts. To get my Quad stable at 4Ghz in games for hours on end I had to bump it up to 1.53v.

55C at idle? Under load you must be hitting around 65C? Do you think thats pushing the thermal threshold. I have mine shutdown if it goes over 60C.

BTW...I hate your background color..LOL.

my 9 year old who drew it will be heart broken to hear that. :cry:

How do you manage to do that? Burn in?
Mine has to have 1.4 @ 3.2 or else it won't boot. :mad:

Btw the Thermalright Ultima is coming tomorrow. :rockout:

Which fans do you advice?
I have a very silent Papst 90mm. I was thinking to get another one and mount one on both sides.

Or use the 120mm clips that come with it and put a 120mm on one side and a 92mm on the other. Scythe 120mm or Arctic freezer 92mm

Did you lap your quad?

ZenZimZaliben · Dec 18, 2007

I lapped mine.

Well then I wouldn't tell your nine year old unless you want to make him cry?? Is that the type of person you are. LOL j/k

I wouldn't tell her because too me it's a true work of art.

I can get my Q6600 to 3.6 on 1.475v like Trt740, but then it seems to need quite a bit of voltage to get to 3.7, like 1.53v to get it stable.

Paul at your max stable overclocking ,24/7 clock, what are your temps with your cooler. Do you ever go over 60c.

Bro thats under all four core being stressed at the same time 100 percent thats load temps not idle . I idle at around 29c all 4 cores
