Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there has had any experiences at all with Q6600 Go Stepping batch number L750B102 I presume that this is a week number 50 (which does not bode well as most people may have had a hangover from Christmas!!! lol) I was hoping that some one may be able to give me an insight as to what to expect from overclocking this cpu as I believe you can get good weeks and bad weeks at the fabrication plants

Many Thanks
 
check the OC database here on the [H], see what weeks are getting what clocks for people.
 
Hi,
now heres a very strange thing indeed I got my P5-NE-SLI motherboard back yesterday from Asus after repair so I gleefully set about rebuilding and installing my Q6600, everything went fine booted up first time I had a delve around to make sure temps were ok etc then proceeded to TRY to overclock a little, Well this thing wont budge from 2.4Ghz at all not even the slightest fsb increase works, if I change the fsb from stock and try to re-boot nada nothing at all it appears to not want to save any deviations from 2.4Ghz at all I then have to reset and climb back in the bios to find that everything has returned to stock, is it me or have I done something wrong or is this motherboard acting the pan again I wonder?? or is this chip such a poor overclocker that it wont budge a few mhz I find that a go stepping chip that wont overclock at all very very strange I can only assume that this motherboard is behind all these shananagans because of the fact that it will not save any changes made at all or am I overlooking the blindingly obvious??
 
Hi All,
Ok
I got my new motherboard the other day a P5-KC P35 chipset motherboard and proceeded to re-build my pc.
I started to overclock and this is what I got

2.70Ghz=300fsb
mem@721 5-5-5-15 2t timings 2.1v
Vcore left on auto
super pi=19s
stable in prime 95

2.9Ghz=322fsb
mem@774 5-5-5-15 2t timings 2.1v
Vcore=1.3375v in bios 1.288v in cpuz
super pi=17s
stable in prime 95
temps 35 idle 44 load

3.0Ghz=333fsb
mem@667 5-5-5-15 2t 2.1v
vcore 1.375v in bios 1.320v in cpuz
super pi=17s
umstable in prime 95 (restarts pc)
temps 38 idle 46 load

so here is my problem I seem unable to break 3.0GHz barrier with this chip does antone have any ideas how to overcome this problem do I need more vcore? should I increase nb voltages?? do I use fsb strap?? do i need to loosen timings again on ram?? should i remove 2 sticks and see if that helps??

hope someone out thers can help I dont think my temps are of concern and I believe this cip has a bit more in reserve I just need to know how to extract that extra speed

Many Thanks

Pros: Very fast, runs smooth as can be with no errors at all running overnight on MemTest. 4-4-4-15. Plays well with my C2D E6400 and the rest of my system!
Cons: Had to manually set timings. Motherboard read as 5-5-5-15 @ 1.9v. Had no problems setting to 4-4-4-15 @ 2.0v though.
Other Thoughts: If you are looking to get an Asus P5N-E SLI, this ram DOES WORK with it, without an bios update! Great ram and runs wonderfully on that board! P5N-E SLI, E6400, Geforce 7900GS, all working great!
