What's one more Q6600 thread, right?
I received my G0 yesterday and installed it tonight. After a bit of initial fidgeting w/the BIOS (been awhile since I've been in there) I'm sitting at 3.0GHz (333 x 9) with the voltage on AUTO (more on that in a sec). CPU-Z says my FSB/DRAM ratio is 2:3. Not the optimal 1:1 but good for now.
Unlike with my E6400 dual core, the OCing setup w/this Quad was different. With the dual, I set FSB to 400, memory multiplier (or whatever it's called to 2.0) and went. That didn't work with this Quad. I had to put the memory mult to AUTO and the FSB to 333 and it booted and ran. I'm sure I've got something screwy...but its running!!!
I would like to stress that this install and the Arctic Silver5 is less than 3 hours old...far from broken in.
With 4 instances of P95 running for about an hour now (no crashes or errors) and all my cores are at 61C (measuring w/CoreTemp) My room temp is 22C. Not bad at all, IMO!!! The cores idle at about 46C. I'll let it Prime for the next 5 hours or so, just to heat it up. Then I'll shut it off overnight to let the AS thermal-cycle.
3.0GHz...so far, so good. I haven't tried to go higher yet...wanna make sure it's stable at this speed.
The voltage is wacky. According to CPU-Z (v1.41) at idle, my voltage is 1.44v. With 4 instances of P95 running I'm at 1.36v. Weird, right?
Thoughts? Temps are not bad, considering the fresh install, right?
Here's my system:
Gigabyte P9650-DS3 Rev1.0 (F12 BIOS)
2GB Corsair PC6400
Freezer7 Pro
P180 with fans on Med
Corsair 620HX PS
8800GT
