I believe Intel has it set at 72.4c.

User Name: turtletrax Stability: Prime 25.5 Blend/OCCT ( I understand you want small FTT, I cannot generate enough heat with this chip to bring it into consideration at these voltages, and blend is a much better benchmark for overall stability) CPU: E8400 OC: 4050Mhz Stepping: 6 C0 Week: Q743A...

Hey Jim ;) Nice board. good price :) I wish I had kept mine, havent found a board that can get my Q6600 to 4 ghz again :( Tried X38-DQ6 and the P35-T2R and no luck:) I think the DFI will do it , I just have to keep trying. But with the 680i it was a breeze :) Should go quick, a good...

Please delete my account. I want nothing to do with this forum anymore.

Quite normal as there is two sperate dies on the package. Each die will react to Vcore differently. I have about a 6c difference in temps across the seperate dies. Try a couple of mounts and see if it changes, but dont sweat it if it does not get better.

DO NOT get a QX9650 if you plan on using the 680i/780i. Looks like Intel is pissin in Nvidia's pool for not licensing SLI on the X38. Retail chips are not working well/at all in the above mentioned chipsets. Go P35 for single card slutions and X38 for Crotchfire. I suggest waiting for X38 to...

This thread is about 6 pages too long Bandwidth waste from hell.

Helluva proc there Devious. Really nice OC. Just ironing out the kinks on my DFI P35 T2R to go for my big numbers:)

#1 Build a new AMD HTPC as my 939 is getting old #2 Phenom :)

My DFI P35-T2R comes tomrrow and will be redoing my Q6600 run with a high Quad FSB Quad capable borad. Should be fun :)

Lose the 680i and go with a P5K deluxe or a regular P5K. No reason to get the 680i unless going SLi. How do I know? I've been there and done that. The stablilty of a Intel chipset is a huge plus for something that will 24/7 use and has to be stable for the whole time. Don't neccisarily have...

I grow tired of the "there will not be a _____ in the xbox 360" then 10 months later a version gets released with that exact thing. Allot of people that would have waited for the feature end up getting the thing under the pretense that will never happen. Then you end up with something less than...

I wonder if Gigabyte is using ES samples of chipsets in retail.... AGAIN. :rolleyes:

I am just getting into the meat and potatoes of this board and have only messed with the stock BIOS. I am running 4X1GB GMH at 480Mhz 4-5-4-11 and my Q6600 GO @ 3.6Ghz with 1.34Vcore. Set 400FSB and it booted stable. Gonna try to go for gold on Friday as I have the day off. My Q6600 is good...

Nice work Jim :) Helluva proc there dude.

My X38-DQ6 should be here tomorrow and I will have my rig up and running for the weekend and I will re-do my top run with my Q6000. I have confidence that I will get quite abit more out of the chip :)

Fugger from XS was at IDF and did a live OC bench with triple Cascade and reached 5.67Ghz and broke sub 8 second 1M SuperPI. Looking very nice, but apperantly the chips are alittle fragile as he said he destroyed 2 of them pretesting them. Plus side is looks like no cold bugs :)

Have you tried Memset to loosen secondary timings?

What Mobo are you trying to get 1200Mhz on? If a decent board just about any GMH will do so.

I second the motion.... Congrats and thank you for actually keeping this thread upto date as well as you do. Most go by the wayside so quickly.

In perfect testbed situation the DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R with Oscar Wu behind the wheel, accheived 660+ FSB. Now, granted that was cherry picked everything and probably not the best to represent what is the norm. But it is looking like the high 500's is not impossible. usually your CPU will wall...

Whats with the attitude? I would always try a $30 solution over a $230 solution. If you can stand a purple/green/blue/red mobo.

I dissagee. Allot of the volatges required to get the MCP/SPP stable are much higher than the stock cooling could hope to cool. While I do agree that a good P35 based board would be a much better platform to go for max clocks.

I am actually stunned at my chip. 3.6Ghz with 1.36vcore and 4Ghz prime stable :eek: Waiting to get a new mobo and see what it really has :D

;) Lol

What are you recording your temps with, Are you adding 15c for the Tjunction difference?

If it is concave I would go for it, but convex I would leave it. Some blocks come like that for a reason nowadays and you would actually lose some perfrmance. Check your IHS with a straight razor and see what it is doing, and check your block as well.

Hey videomasterz! My 4Ghz run with my Q6600 has my Vcore labeled as 1.68v but under load it is 1.6v DMM tested and Everest reports 1.62v Was wondering if that could be changed? Thanks!!!

Gimmie 4 hours and I will believe you then... :) Not trying to be a dick, but thats the truth. Heat saturation in your loop is a real problem.

Nice work Annaconda!!! I am waiting to get my P5K premium and see if I can get higher clocks out of mmy C2Q. I am out of FSB on my 680i. The G0's are awesome hey!! PS what are your Prime small FTT load temps of say 30 minutes plus???

I urge people to check their CPU and Heatsinks with the razor trick before doing this mod. If your CPU is "concave" go ahead and lap it. If your Heatsink is "concave", again go for it. If your Heatsink is convex, good, they are better that way. This will end the whole "I did the lap and it...

That 3DMark cap looks hella fake to me....

Did not really need to do that since I was always using watercooling. I would not do it with "Clip" style mounts that are more common with Air cooling. Too much chance of cracking or chipping the core. I would however use bolt on HS/Fan combos. The problem is that the new IHS applications...

While it is less work, it is more dangerous (I guess) because the IHS is soldered to the core. There has been many that have popped of the IHS but I have seen allot of dead cpu's if done incorrectly. Also the LGA setup means that if you remove your IHS, you need to remove the retaining...

I would just use ISO alcohol and wash down the proc after you have finnished.

Nah... lol!!! Just opened up the sliding glass door and let nature take its course. I might do some insulating and run sub-zero coolant when she hits -40c this winter. All I would have to do is run venting to the rads and vent to the "warmer" air back outside. That way I am not running my...

Those temps were for my 4Ghz run. My 3.6Ghz screen was at 20c ambients. Waiting for real Winter to get a little goofy ;)

I have pounded chips with voltage for more than 2 years and never once have I experienced electron migration, tunneling or sudden silicon death. If it is cooled well and voltage is with in suggested tolreances, you will be fine. To give a few examples, I ran 1.7v to my FX-53 for more than 2...

Asia, YOU are missing the point. I thoroughly (and by that I mean to check the flatness of said CPU HS/Fan) research a mod before I use it and if I didnt use DUE DILIGENCE, I dont whine about it and call it useless. Grow up... Also you are the one that need to learn thermodynamics. Heat...
