Hitting 4.0Ghz with a Q6600

[NucleusWDS]

My friend at CPU3D managed to overclock the Q6600 to 4.0Ghz

HydroBox III Ultimate sets another new CPU3D record

Very impressive

What, a bios screen shot ? Thats nothing, doesn't count unless its stable under 100% load on all 4 cores. (24 hours IMO)

1. That's just a POST screenshot. Doesn't prove overclock was stable so it's not impressive.
2. Not done on air, even less impressive.

While a POST screen is a lot better than a BSOD, it's hardly a stress test or even Windows for that matter. Jury is still out. :roll:

Pretty certain I could boot into windows at 4Ghz. The problem is getting it to run P95 without crapping out after a few minutes.

I don't think you need 24 hours (personal preference) but you do need to be able to run P95 for a minimum of 1 hour in my book, the longer the better.

P95, Orthos, 3DMark06, etc are all just tools to help us figure out when we are stable... If you can boot at 4Ghz and run everything you use stable, but fails on some CPU test, not a huge deal.

Anyway, what is the HydroJet?

my BIOS has shown me at 10.4 GHz before. Show me 6 hours Orthos Stable and i'll be impressed.

well, i'm impressed.

perhaps too easily maybe, but impressed nonetheless !

You don't need none of that 24 hours nonsense.

I can bios post all the way to 4.2ghz... It's not stable.

can you make it to the windows loading screen even?

My F@H boxes can sometimes go for well over 12 hours no problem, but if they can make it over 24 hours with no EEU, I know they are stable. Frm my experience F@H (as in no EEU) is even a better stability cheker the prime95 or Orthos.

My one B3 bos was at 3150, then 3.1, then 3.0, and would run for days, then go crazy. I changed motherboards, and now its been a whole week@3.32, no problem, so I stand behind my "at least 24 hours" statement.
