Hey, got some results to post!

Setup:

G0 Q6600 L723A765 1.26250 VID w/ Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme (stock) + Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F 12 CM
Asus P5K-C 0701 Bios w/ pencil vdroop mod
2 x Buffalo Firestix 2x1GB Micron D9GMH DDR2-800 4-4-4-8
1xSeagate 200GB SATA + 1xWD 500GB SATA2
EVGA 8800 GTS 640MB on Dell 2407WFP-HC
Antec TruePower 2.0 550W SLI-ready

So far, 3.610 Ghz (401x9) stable on AIR at 1.38 vcore real (1.4250v bios).



I will be back with updates as I finish my case!

Decided to have some fun with xtreme undervolting .

Ambient temp is 16-17 degrees Celsius (in the basement lol).

1.1375 vcore in bios, 1.10 under load. Priming and 3dMark06 rock stable so far!



Futuremark 3D Mark 06 Compare link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2695495

Okay, finally found the max stable OC at 1.10 vcore real under load.

Finally, found max stable overclock was @ 2.85 Ghz. This is very impressive considering this is at 1.10 vcore under load!

G0 = :up:



Okay, I think I'm done for the night.

Enjoy.

Back with some more results!

Max stable FSB was 480 Mhz but I forgot to take a screen.

3.7 Ghz w/ vcore at 1.43-1.44 under load - Temps never reached above 70 degrees Celsius. This will be my new 24/7 overclock.

Idle:



Load:



4 Ghz bootable no problem! (1.52-1.54 vcore)

How would that affect the life/wear & tear of the CPU going that low on the vcore? Or is it better for the CPU overall?

I believe it's better for the CPU because it's less heat produced and it's getting less juice prolonging its longevity.

Cool (literally) .... Cool with Thermalright Ultra-120, you may not even need a fan !

what version of prime95 is the latest?

I'm looking to prime my q6600, I'm scared I might have damaged while trying to install the damn heatsink.

Not really sure, but I'm using 25.3 if that helps any.

That's pretty impressive. Have to checked how high you can get it on stock volts?

I think around 3.24 Ghz at stock volts (1.2625 vcore). I will test when I get home from work.

let me go out of topic a bit....

what are those weather/calendar gadgets on your desktop?

[KonniXeoN]

by the way are you using a stock cooler?

Yahoo Widgets for the weather and clock, Rainlendar for the calendar.

Nope. ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme.

will that fit on my p5k dexlue?
I got my rig working.

[board123]

Is the 4 Ghz stable at all or does it only "boot"? And is the 1.52v the real vcore or the bios vcore?

Yup.

It's not PRIME stable. I don't have watercooling so I didn't dare go near trying to get it stable lol. That would be real vcore at idle. At load, it would go down 0.01.

Got another 2 GB of ram and decided to push it a little bit further. Was able to reach 3.8 Ghz PRIME stable wtih 4 GB of DDR2.

My new 24/7 atm

I don't feel comfortable running it with so much juice. I'm going to try to find the best clock around 1.25 vcore real range. Be back later!
