What type of cpus are you running?

[admin]

Purchased a dual E6750 a year ago which I o'cd to 3ghz but recently seems it's not keeping up anymore. Have a quad q6600 on the way which is supposed to be very overclockable as well.

Anyone gone from dual to quad and seen a nice performance gain?

i am running old amd 1600 mhz my work/progrdss stopped,got money for new stuff,but namely i have no time to even turn on my computer and start to do anything,but i will threat it as a break to refresh my mind and ideas

working with a G5 dual 2.0..waiting for a little while to upgrade, until a: have the money b: a more significant upgrade in processor speeds

G5 quad 2.66. I really did try to give PC a chance a few years back but just couldn't get it to run as smoothly.

I've had this machine for 3 years and it runs like a dream.

Mine was running great a year ago but now the CPU just can't keep up. Will let you know the difference the Quad makes over the dual then.

I ran a Q6600 @ 3.6ghz. The older batches can OC very nicely but the newer batches can't. Anything starting w/ L80 isn't usually very good. Now because of hard times I must run my AMD 165 Denmark which actually holds it's on until I use Massive. Saving up for an i7, only $200 here in the States.

KSC, hey nice info there. Mine is: BX80562Q6600 does that seem ok? It's the G0 SLACR version.

I'm guessing thats a new batch. I've never seen batch numbers look like that. I made a batch list while ago and stopped adding but a good reference is once you pop it in and go open/get core temps and look at you VID which should tell you the nominal voltage your chip can run @ stock. It's usually a good indicator how how well it'll OC. From what I've seen and heard the newer batches get around 3.2-3.4 w/ around 1.42-1.45v. Also it's harder to OC if you have all four slots of RAM used. More strain on the NB. Still a great chip regardless.

Hi yes the ebay description said it was a newer batch with lower temp and power consumption specs. That being said I still ordered 650w psu to handle the load for oc'ing.

Thanks for the tip.

Well seems Royal Mail has lost this Q6600 package so have a new one on the way.
