Intel Q6600 2.4GHZ to 3.0GHZ TUTORIAL

[terry3218]

will this processor works fine @ 2.4ghz for gaming???

[german199denuevo]

@terry3218 2.4ghz is the main of Q6600

[terry3218]

@german199denuevo tell me this processor is awsome for gaming?

[german199denuevo]

@terry3218 Actually not, but I still using for gaming

[berzerker11]

@terry3218 absolutely! i have it since 2008, and after 4 years it still kicks ass. there is no need to overclock, mw3 runs on ultra settings/fullHD :D there are much newer products from intel now, but you won't go wrong with this one neither :)

[MrJohniop]

@german199denuevo plz do u say how D-ram fréquency for 4*OCZ DDRII PC8500 Reaper Edition ?? thanks :)

[german199denuevo]

@MrJohniop 1066mhz :D

[YogscastWannaBe]

I have the foxconn moterboard..and how do u upgrade the bios so i can overclock?

[german199denuevo]

@YogscastWannaBe I don't know if all motherboards are able to overclock.

[jayDizzle416]

so this is all i need to do? just go into bios and copy your settings and my q6600 will be at 3.0? im new to overclocking sorry

[german199denuevo]

@jayDizzle416 Yea, should work.

[jayDizzle416]

@german199denuevo thanks for replying, so what temperature should i keep the cpu under? and how do i check the temperature and how to test it under heavy load and idle?

[german199denuevo]

@jayDizzle416 max 70ºC, idle 30-40ºC

[VerumAdNauseam]

and 5 minutes later his pc shut down and would never reboot on this processor again

[german199denuevo]

@VerumAdNauseam Nope, since 2009 I had to 3.4 and still alive

[VerumAdNauseam]

@german199denuevo really? that's amazing!

[MrShoXProductions]

what bios is that?

[1989kratoz]

nice english german .... heheehhehe



[JohaNxT1]

What do u have on the voltage?

[german199denuevo]

@JohaNxT1 1.3V

[HesamSh1300]

tnx for go0d Video , i have intel core 2 quad q6600 and a normal fan and heatsink , in the box of cpu  , should i frist change fan and heatsink then overclock ? or i can overclock whit current normal fan and heatsink ? .

[german199denuevo]

@HesamSh1300 I've got the default fan of the CPU and still working overclocked :)

[HesamSh1300]

@german199denuevo Thanks :) ,, i overclocked it to 3ghz , and download realtemp to findout my cpu tempreture , and got 61 'C ,, is this normal ?

[german199denuevo]

@HesamSh1300 Very high ºC, you should need better ventilation on your chase, because i have it to 3.0 and i have 45ºC. If still on 60ºC~ change it to 2.4.

[HesamSh1300]

@german199denuevo yes still 61, 62 C ,, if i change my heatsink and fan it's go to be better ??? ,, sry for my bad english :D ..

[german199denuevo]

@HesamSh1300 yea, there's people who can go to 3.8ghz- 4.2 because they got better heatsinks and fan :) (my english is bad too)

[HesamSh1300]

@german199denuevo :)) ,, Ok , thank you so much :) ..

[TheAirwaver]

Hey,

Did what you did, only with me it does'nt run stable.

The Busspeed goes from 333.6 to 334 and the corespeed from +/-2000 to almost 3004....

I have also a q6600 but on a asus p5k epu mobo.

And i have 8 gb of pc6400 800mhz Kingston Hyper X.

Can you (or someone else please tell me what to do?

I would really appreciate you're help!!

[german199denuevo]

@TheAirwaver supposedly if you set to 333 it should be 3.0 Ghz (3000 mhz / 9 multiplier), i don't know why the corespeed changes, try to put all manually, not automatic ( i mean the multiplier, put it to 9).

I hope it helps you

[TheAirwaver]

@german199denuevo Thank you 4 you're quick answer! I changed that in the bios but cpu-z says the multiplier goes from 9 to 6 and back, is that normal?

[german199denuevo]

@TheAirwaver nope, you must set it to 9 :), in BIOS you must on CPU RATIO SETTING (or similiar) write the numer (9), or it will go automatic ( i had that problem but setting 9 fixes all)

[Xay0rIsBack]

@TheAirwaver

Disable SpeedStep.

SpeedStep puts your multiplier down to 6 when the CPU isn't being used fully.

Enable it to save power, disable it to keep your CPU at full clock 24/7.

[MsJennii1]

@Xay0rIsBack Thx 4 reply, it was already told to me by a friend. I keep it enabled so it won't be fully loaded al the time. It's al clear to me, thx 4 al the reply's guys!!

[MrATi5770HD]

Hi, i have a q6600 and its my first time overclocking

My specs:

Asus p5e

Q6600

Ati radeon 5770 hd 1gb @ 41degrees avg

1TB HDD

3 new cooling fans very cold...

What do you recommend?

Thanks in advance :D

[german199denuevo]

@MrATi5770HD to 3.2-3.4 Ghz :D



[gomezdomain]

Did you do that on stock cooling ?

[german199denuevo]

@gomezdomain yes

[torontoraps8]

can this be done with stock cooler etc.

[sly180sx]

@Iuliskaya that's because the CPU has speed step on. it reduces the cpu speed when ur not putting load on it.

download CPU-Z run it.. it will show you 2.4ghz. but open a random windows and move it around the screen and watch it go up to 3ghz. =) or you can run a game in windows mode and also watch cpu-z go up to 3ghz :)

[hardstyle905]

fuck the music

[BMSEntertaiment]

mal ne frage welches bios ist das das es ami is weiß ich aber wieso hast du so viele optionen und ich nur so wenig

bedanke mich im vorraus für ne antwort

[german199denuevo]

@Iuliskaya so i don't know why you can't, sorry :(

[german199denuevo]

@Iuliskaya did you save before exit? or it could be because your cpu is locked or something? :S

try and tell me

[aznfriedrice415]

can you keep it overclocked or I have to return to default when I'm not using that much juice?

[german199denuevo]

@aznfriedrice415 I still having overclocked to 3.0 ghz far 2 months and still stable, you can return to default config when you want ;)

[fischfischblubb57]

geile sache hab den selben cpu und hab mich nachdem ich mein mainboard und vorher mein netzteil geschrottet hatte nicht mehr ins bios rein getraut versuche es jetzt aber wieder :P

[rockersixtysix]

does dat on win7...

[lonrot]

@german199denuevo you lost me. I have 6 GB RAM, therefore four slots DDR2 Kingston PC2-6400 (400 MHz)

In your tutorial you have 800Mhz, how much should I put?

Gracias!

[german199denuevo]

@lonrot pc2-6400 are 800 mhz ;)

[lonrot]

@german199denuevo Thanks german, however I was unable to find such option, it seems my motherboard won't display it, here I posted some screenshots, maybe you have a clue about it:

[MetalPower86]

using this processor with my new build,

antec 620 watt power supply

Intel quad core q6600 on a Gigabyte motherboard

Scythe cpu cooler

8gb Gskill DDR2 ram

ATI Radeon hd 5850 1gb ddr5

2x500gb Western Digital Caviar black drives (gonna put them in raid 00

Coolermaster Storm Scout case

Windows 7 64 bit

what do you think?

[german199denuevo]

@MetalPower86 your rig is well, do the same as the video, it would work fine!

[UltraHelloWorld]

My BIOS is locked -.-

[PcGamerPaul]

i did this but i have the intel stock fan is that still good? no damage? plz reply

[german199denuevo]

@PcGamerPaul if you put on 3.0 ghz it will not damage your cpu, if you put 3.4 could be.

im using 3.0 and still good, 35 -40ºC

[PcGamerPaul]

@german199denuevo kay thanks man i should be increase in fps then?

[german199denuevo]

@PcGamerPaul yes, a little ;)

[TOHOBI]

call me stupid but.. i've never messed with the bios

and this would be my first time to attempt to over clock my cpu :X

so if you dont here from me imma find you and kill you! haha jk!

i have 6gigs of ddr2 :X idk if thats good or not :/ well ima go for it :X haha

[TOHOBI]

@TOHOBI yeahh.. my bios is different :/ those settings are locked!

now i have to figure out how to unlock them :(

[german199denuevo]

@TOHOBI locked ? :SS!!!

[TOHOBI]

@german199denuevo yeah it doesnt even have those options :/

[german199denuevo]

@TOHOBI then i don't know sorry :S

[TOHOBI]

@german199denuevo where else in the bios can i go to overclock it?

[german199denuevo]

@TOHOBI i think only there, search any voltage section, or somelse

[xserd]

What cooler are you using?

[german199denuevo]

@xserd im using the standard cooling when i buyed the Q6600 (now i have it on 3.2 ghz and the ºC is 41ºC)

[xserd]

@german199denuevo is that on full load or idle? you still didn't change the volts in 3.2 ghz?

[german199denuevo]

@xserd i didn't changed the voltage :S

[multilater]

uhm i have some problems, my multiplier is jumping 9 to 6 and 9 to 6 all the time and i cant find the clocking thing that i shall change from auto to manuall.

[german199denuevo]

@multilater you shall change it to 9

[starkillertoy]

that easy?is it safe?

[german199denuevo]

That easy? : Yes, it is.

Safe: It depends your motherboard, the trick is proving 2.5ghz, 2.6ghz, and watch the max all you can get, if you get more than you can't , the motherboard will reset, ;), no problem then :P

[TheStickyanimations]

@german199denuevo i want to overclock my pc from 2.8Ghz to 3.0 and i think i don't know for sure but i think i have a DDR2 4GB ram you think i can do it??

[german199denuevo]

Im sure you can overclock to 3.0 ;)

[Fruchtkotzekiddy]

der cpu kann davon kaputt gehen ausser wende einen guten cpu lüfter hast

[german199denuevo]

nicht Deutsch, aber ich sage euch vorsichtig sein, wenn Overclocking

[Teddy944]

You don't change any voltage?

Just FSB Frequency and DRAM Frequency? That's all?

[german199denuevo]

yes :S

[Teddy944]

lol ok and the same for 3.4Ghz?

Your system is stable?

[german199denuevo]

more or less, i recommend 3.0 or 3.2

[Fitality101]

hey i have a quick question.. can i do this on my core 2 duo q6600?

[german199denuevo]

q6600 is quad, duo is E xxxx, i think they are very seem, follow the video and I think it will work

[klote2314]

Vcore at 1.3 then tune it down until ur CPU isnt stable any more then put it back up abit so it works stable should be around 1.125

it only helps running ur cpu cooler if you have a good cooler u shouldent have any problems at all

[FreeItemsGuru]

Alright thank you. I won't bug you with throughing in what my motherboard is. :]

[FreeItemsGuru]

How high do you think i a can overclock a 3.0GHz intel to?..

[german199denuevo]

it depends your motherboard, you must to try first 266, then , 277, then ,288,and if u can, switch to 300, then go increasing the quantity

[Nicolai577]

lol just burned my cpu with this.. but i just sayed that my computer broke, and got an free repair, from the shop (:

[german199denuevo]

:SSSSSSSS

[evenk93]

How much did you get it up to?

[german199denuevo]

3.4 Ghz, if i put more windows didn't run

[iOWNu1111]

hey i have a Asus P5Q-E motherboard with the same CPU, is it going to be stable and all if i do exactly what u did??

[german199denuevo]

wait, you must to try some values (277, 288,300,333)

if when you start windows u have got blue screen, go back again.

(try 288, if you can that , try then 333, ;))

some problems contact with me via email

[iOWNu1111]

im probably going to use the stock cooling but i think the case has pretty good air flow so i think it can pull it off... well i hope :D

[german199denuevo]

i have got the case opened, xD if i have it close my cpu is on fire (60ºC)

[iOWNu1111]

btw if i like overclock it like that and i get the blue screen my cpu wont blow up or anything right? XD cause its like the first time im gonna try to overclock so i dont really know shit XD

[german199denuevo]

nonono, if u get blue screen , reset the computer and go bios ;) the cpu will be save, no problem

[rashad546]

do we need to change cpu voltage and fan speed?

[german199denuevo]

nope ;)

[zaction]

Hey man, Nice.. What temps do you get on your CPU now?

[german199denuevo]

aprox. 29-35 ºC, no more :)

[zaction]

Hey Dude.. I OC'd mine last night to 2.7Ghz to start and I was getting about that temp at idle. After some hard work playing FSX I got up to about 45. Still pretty cool temp for hard core use. I want to bump it to 3.0 now and try it. Do you have stock cooling? I may need to get a better cooler if I go any higher.

[german199denuevo]

:SSS this is too strange, i have got the default air cooler on my CPU, :S

But i have got my computer case opened because my Graphic card has too many temp.

I recommend you opend the computer case, ;)

[zaction]

Hola Amigo,

I think my case is Ok to keep as is because it is a very nice case with numerous fans in it. It's a Thermaltake Tsunami and it seems to be pretty efficient at cooling. I do, however, need to check my graphics GPU temps just in case tho :)

Do you plan to try to overclock higher than 3.0Ghz at some point? If you get 35C now you could go higher I imagine. Also, be careful opening the case. Some times the cooling is worse when it's open because the air doesn't get channeled through.

[german199denuevo]

I never tried to overclock more than 3.0 Ghz xD,

i think if i overclock to 3.5 the ºC will icrease a lot. That's the reason, but if you have got a lot of fans , you can try to overclock it to 4.0 ^^

[Lostiano93]

I Have a ASUS P5K-E Wi-Fi Ap and Q6600 2:40Ghz... What do you recommend? =)

[german199denuevo]

2.8 Ghz ^-^

311 , if the system starts to be inestable change it to 2.6, 288 ;)

[Lostiano93]

Thanks =)

I have a problem,

FSB Frequency is blocked on 266, help me :S

[german199denuevo]

:s, i don't know, make a photo on your BIOS and send me a PM with the image :\

[Lostiano93]

Dont worry, I solved, now it's about 2:80 Ghz = D Thanks! (Sorry for my English, I speak Italian). :)

[german199denuevo]

^^, good job :), i speak spanish xD

[Lostiano93]

Thanks! XD
