The Official OC (OverClocking) Thread!

spamual,

What the heck is a "denebs"?

Russ

 

Yes, google search returned nothing.

 

you ddint google that well then:

You said denebs, not deneb. Big difference there buddy. lol

 

because i was refering to the differnt verisons, like saying penryns, rather than penryn, can you not differentiate between plurals?

 

gm,

that Q6600 isn't even breaking a sweat. cmon, bump ur vcore up to about 1.45v and lets see what that DFI mobo and Q6600 can do. you'll prolly want to up the NBv and FSBTv a little as well.

your Q6600 is GO stepping right. if so then you should be able to hit 3.4ghz fairly easily. lets see an everest screenshot too so we can see what all DFI reports. BTW, are you using DDR2 800 or DDR2 1066 memory?

 

Shaf, I have a hard time sometimes.

 

you think you have it hard, sometimes i swear i cant tell the difference between the road and the pavemnt when walking on the pavement, and i have been in an accident before LOL.

dont worry though, i survived....¬_¬.... LOL

 

Lol Are you serious? Here is a tip. The curb is where the road ends and the pavement(footpath, etc) starts.

 

spamual,
Thanks for clearing that up! LOL!! Of course it's going to have a much higher price tag than the current Phenom Black Edition 9850 at $194! I'm impressed and happy with performance of the 64x2 4800+ I have now, and I suspect I'll be even happier with the 9850 Quad! I certainly won't lose any money building one!

Happy Computering,
Russ

 

Deneb is a very bright Star, so I'm certain that there are no more than one of them. Your use of it as a colloquialism or expression is unfamiliar to some of us and it is unlikely that you were using the word literally. What was your point?;D

 

Sophocles,

I don't know what his point is but He ain't building any Deneb CPU machine for an investment of $300 to $350 like I can with the Phenom Black Edition 9850! LOL!!

Happy Computering,
Russ

 

id like to, when they come out, just hope they can clock well

 

Nope.... lol. 2.4GHz stock and your cpu is in Intel's hands NOT mine.. hehehe. ;P

NO sweat yet...lol. I'm messing with the BIOS right now learning and reading trying to learn some more... lol.

It's B3 stepping.. So the 3.4GHz is prolly NOT gonna happen. oh and I'm using DDR2 800 Mushkin goodness!!!

....gm

 

Oooohh B3? When did you get this thing?

 

It suddenly appeared a long while back, in a striker extreme of all things!

 

Yep...lol. I've been looking for the post but couldn't find it. lol. It was a few months ago, let's say that. lol. In the 2nd PC build thread.

....gm

 

Well been messing around with the BIOS and got it above 3.0GHz but it's HOT @ full load!!! lol. I'll back it down a bit until I get better cooling. I have the ACF7 Pro (lapped) and the "stock" NB cooler on there right now. I think a TRU(E) and an after market NB & SB cooler are in order if I'm gonna run it @ 3.0GHz or higher. I'm acutally pleased at this OC for the B3 Q6600!!!

cpu-Z and coretemp @ idle

OCCT (orthos) and coretemp @ full load

cpu_Z OC and RAM

mips/mflops @ 3.0GHz

....gm

 

I don't think it's worth buying a TRUE for that CPU.

 

Don't just stick the knife in, go ahead and twist it too!!! lol. You know I might get another cpu at some other time and use it on there as well. lol. You just wanna buy my Q6600 don't you??? Mr. jealous!!!

You do know on air with this cpu that's NOT a bad OC!!! I'm still learning the BIOS... it took me a while to find out how to "adjust" the RAM.... lol. It was in plain sight but I was missing it... hehehe.

....gm

add: forgot to mention I'm using OCZ Freeze tp with this cpu.. haven't used it before but it seems ok to me.
