What is your VID on coretemp on Q6600 G0 stepping only

[Markfw]

So I got my 4th Q6600 G0 stepping Friday, and the thing is a POS (can;t hardly hold 3.4 ghz) and notived the VID was 1.3125, the same as at least one of my B3 Q6600's. So I was wondering what are the values out there. I will start with the 3 I can do (one system is on ubuntu, and I can't figure out how to get vid on it)

VID OC full load vcore
?? 3550 ??
1.2375 3510 1.328 one other
1.2750 3420 1.344 4 others reported
1.3125 3400 not even stable yet, 1.408 1 other reported

1.2625 2 others
1.2875 3 others
1.30 2 others
1.325 one other
1.250 2 others.
1.2250 2 others
1,.2125 one
1.26 ?? (or should it be 1.2625 ??)


Also, there appears to be a pattern, the lower the vid, the higher the OC, and at less vcore.

One last note: I sure hate my ASUS P5K. To get 1.392 full load vcore, I have to set the bios at 1.55 !!

So please post your vid, OC, and full load vcore.

Update: Bolded are the updates from posts so far.

Update: Poll added

VID 1.3125v
OC to 3.2
load vcore 1.296v

I might not add much info since I'm only doing 333x9, but here is mine while running prime95.

(VID) (OC) (full load vcore)
(1.2750) (3006) (1.210 ± .01 V)

what bios are you using on your p5k? some of the older versions had a bad vdroop / vdrop. my vdrop was .1 comparing bios setting & cpuz idle.

1) G0 with VID = 1.2875V requires 1.280V (Vdroop) 1.344V (idle) at 3.3GHz (9x367) to run small FFT 12hrs stable, temps are 59/59/56/56C on small FFT

2) G0 with VID = 1.2750V requires 1.264V (Vdroop) 1.312V (idle) at 3.3GHz (9x367) to run small FFT 12hrs stable, temps are 56/56/54/54C on small FFT

3) G0 with VID = 1.2750V requires 1.296V (Vdroop) 1.344V (idle) at 3.3GHz (9x367) to run small FFT 12hrs stable, temps are 63/63/57/57C on small FFT (my worst CPU in the bunch)

4) G0 with VID = 1.2750V requires 1.264V (Vdroop) 1.328V (idle) at 3.3GHz (9x367) to run small FFT 12hrs stable, temps are 60/60/59/59C on small FFT

5) G0 with VID = 1.2625V requires 1.264V (Vdroop) 1.312V (idle) at 3.3GHz (9x367) to run small FFT 12hrs stable, temps are 58/58/56/56C on small FFT

All five systems are running exactly identical hardware, same vid card, ram, hdrive, PSU, and same case with identical wiring layout internally.

Idontcare, I don't get it, your bios is set at 1,264 and the vcore is 1.344 idle ??? Higher ?

For example, My P5K system is 1.55 bios, 1.45 idle (I think never check idle), 1.392 load, but the VID in coretemp is 1.312 Thats what bios would detect and set it to, if I used default.

Everyone else, Thanks and keep it coming. It does look like I got a very bad chip with 1.312 VID.

Is that chip a G0 stepping ? I have 2 B3 stepping chips that are 1.312, seems normal for them, but VERY abnormal for a G0 stepping as you see from the other replies here.

None of those are BIOS numbers. VID is from Coretemp. Vcore is from CPU-Z, reported when the system is fully loaded (i.e. after Vdroop and Voffset) or when the system is at idle (i.e. after Voffset).

So "requires 1.280V (Vdroop) 1.344V (idle)" means the chip's Vcore at load is 1.280V. At idle it is 1.344V. Voffset is unhelpful these days so I rarely bother to document what the Bios thinks its putting to the CPU from the BIOS screen.

Does that answer your question? Would you prefer I post my data differently?

Edit: on the topic of the OP...Intel allows for up to 1.5V VID on G0's :shocked: Imagine being that unlucky individual who pops in a G0 and sees a VID of 1.5V!

 

[lopri]

I was first disappointed when my G0 showed 1.3000 VID, but I am pretty happy with the chip. I set 1.36V in the BIOS, which drops to 1.34 (idle) / 1.31 (idle) for 3.4GHz on BadAxe 2. Temps stay below 60C, most of the time below 55C, according to CoreTemp. I am sure the chip will do better on a different board but I haven't bothered trying it because I plan to use this combo as my main rig.

yeah it's G0 =/

At least I know I'm not the only one here with a crappy chip (as far as OC'ing goes). I am down to 3360, and I have all the voltage up, active cooling on the NB, and my PC-8000 is WAY under spec. I was having a problem over 333 and under 400, and I suspect its a FSB hole, as I am close to stable at 3360, made it 2 hours before blue screen. And memtest on these passed on this motherboard at 490, and its only running 420 right now (x8)

 

[idiotekniQues]

my G0 chip is VID 1.30 bought it last year just when the G0 came out.

3.4ghz with 1.38v real Idling/ 1.4v in bios - 1.34v real LOAD/ 1.4v in bios



BELOW IS THE WORST CHIP I HAVE SEEN TO MAKE YOU ALL FEEL BETTER!
just built this rig for a friend within the last few weeks.

my friends brand new G0 rig is VID 1.325

he can't get to 3.2 without putting over 1.4v into it. he runs at 3.0 and ill check his volts but its not a good chip.

 

[PClark99]

I have 2 G0 stepping Q6600s.

The first is an L726A849. Its VID is 1.25

It does 3200 at 1.36V and 3600 at 1.41V

The second is an L744B064. Its VID is 1.25 also.

It does 3200 at 1.30V and 3600 at 1.36V.

 

[demiurge3141]

VID 1.2250, 3.6G @ 1.280v-1.320v
I don't understand the ip-35 pro, vcore under full load is still fluctuating wildly. My other boards never fluctuates under prime. Is this a known issue?

 

[LOUISSSSS]

1.2125 Q6600 G0

OC info:
was: 3.6ghz 1.32 CPU-Z P95 Small FFT Load
now: 3.2ghz 1.264 CPU-Z P95 Small FFT Load

 

[zach0624]

I'll check in the morning but my G0 I think has a VID of 1.26V and my volt modded 680i keeps it at about that under full load. I haven't overclocked yet, gasp... mostly because I don't need it yet and since my centurion 5 doesn't have great ventilation.

 

[DreamMystic]

VID: 1.2875v.
OC to 3.2ghz and 1.248v under full load.

 

[shamans]

1.3250 VID on mine (I think that's the highest possible one).
Stable at 3.40ghz with 1.4125 vcore (at bios), load-line calibration enabled, power saving stuff disabled
Stable at 3.05ghz with 1.2750 vcore (at bios), load-line calibration enabled, power saving stuff disabled

But yeah, it's a POS on the relativism scale. These values are really close to being unstable though. An additional 5 fsb or turning on power saving stuff would probably push it to become unstable. Definition of stable is "about 10 hours of running 4 threads of prime + doing everyday stuff".

 

[Dainas]

G0
VID 1.2250
OC@ 3.2
1.235v load.

edit; voted.

 

[myocardia]

Mine has a VID of 1.2875, and requires setting vcore to 1.325v in BIOS, 1.216v under load, for complete stability @ 3.2 Ghz.

 

[MadScientist]

VID: 1.2375V, needs 1.2975 bios, 1.248V idle, 1.208V load (CPUZ) @ 3.40Ghz, 12 hrs. Prime95 (small FFts) stable

Graysky conducted a similar poll last year. Link

That's a crazy amount of Vdroop. What mobo you using?

I had a DS3L go bad on me, the Vdroop went crazy high like yours. I RMA'ed it and it turned out to have a blown VRM (?) or such, one of those components that sits near the socket and would be under the passive heatsink if it weren't a budget board like the DS3L.

 

[Imported]

My Q6600 G0 VID is 1.2000.

I had it at 9x367 for about 3.3GHz, but I've brought it to 8x400 for 3.2GHz. Saved myself a little on heat and can lower the voltage more. It is currently at 1.30v at idle. Not sure about at load.. haven't checked since I changed it to 3.2. Will do later when I get back from work. Haven't really tried to tweak it much though.. I'm not so anal about getting the lowest possible voltage or the highest overclocks.

Interesting, I need 1.35625v to be stable@ 3.2ghz. Anything lower results in a bsod if I do prime. I'm on a GA-EP35C-DS3R.
