3ghz Q6600 OC on P5N-E SLi - Page 8 - Overclock.net

Ravin · 03-03-08

Congratulations on all the recent 3.0+GHz quads on those P5N-E SLIs. Good to see confirmation that BIOS 0608 seems to be the best quad OCer...it's what I ran.

You guys might want to note, my VID 1.2875 G0 only required 1.223V/+100mV disabled to stay stable at 3.0GHz. Try seeing how low you can set your Vcore and remain stable.

Keep the 1:1 ratio between the QDR and the DDR.

hmm i wonder if its really worth it to downgrade to 608 maybe I can hit 3.2? because I can run fine with 801 but every once in a while i get a bsod so I just usually use my stock timings because its fast enough lol but I don't know haha someone convince me lol

Surely 3Ghz perfectly stable and at a lower core voltage then 1.39 should be reason enough

.

This board does do my head in though. 3Ghz is rock solid no problems. Earlier I had 3.06Ghz and playing Gears of War for an hour perfectly. Then 3.11Ghz and no problems running 3DMark06. Then tried 3.13Ghz and it wouldn't stay stable but when I went back to my settings for 3.11Ghz or 3.06Ghz it wouldn't stay stable either.

I can't work out why yet.

650i <- thats why

but I can play crysis at 1680x1050 all very high with 30-40fps with my overclock I would run 3dmark sometime but I don't really want to pay for it haha

Yeah I'm rocking Crysis between the 25 -> 35 fps mark. Just a pity the game is pants.

3DMark06 is free to run as many times as you like at 1280x1024 (which is what nearly everyone bases their scores off of anyways. It is a half a gig download though.

I'd be interested to see your scores rocking that 8800 Ultra.

You can get it from here.

probably would be pretty decent lol I picked it up for 350$! but I had a GTS before (g80) so it ended up only costing my 150$. what would you estimate my score to be?

Could be anywhere between 15k and 17k I'd reckon.
