road-runner Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Heres a update, I saw 67c temps on this one. I think I am going to put it back to 3600 and fold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
firky Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Rr you seem to have got your self a very nice chip there!! I should be back in the game laster this mouth or early next! need to Lap my E6850! and get new mobo for my up and comming 3870's! I have my eye on these Gigabyte mobo's "Gigabyte GA-X38-DS5 Intel X38" "Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 Intel X38 " "Gigabyte GA-X38T-DQ6 Intel X38" They all seem much the same!

Yea it seems like a good one indeed. I believe it would run 4Ghz 24/7 under water. I want to get a X38 MB myself, I have seen some not so impressive reports on the Gigabyte version but I think its bios related. I also want to get a 2900 pro and flash it to 2900xt so I will have crossfire... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 @ firky, do not get the X38T-DQ6, it only takes DDR3 RAM @ road, RMA that DQ6 and see if they upgrade you to an X38 chipset board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Heres a update, I saw 67c temps on this one. I think I am going to put it back to 3600 and fold! Why? Because of temps? 3.6 seems a shame on this CPU, if it passes OCCT 1/2 hour, then the 24/7 OC isn't too far off... why not put it under water? I don't remember you having a more powerful CPU, and I know you have water....... btw, you've heavily influenced me into getting a G0 quad lol... ordered today, may turn up tomorrow (Fri) or Monday... it's gonna find a new home in a DFI 680i with Tr HR-09S mosfet sink, and DD 975x block... couple with two BFG 8800GTS 640 OC with DD NV-88GTS, it should satisfy my 3D desires lol... my E6600 @ 3.54 is ok, but not really what I was hoping for... G0 looks like the way forward, more FPS in Crysis, roughly twice the performance for 3D rendering and video compression, and higher overclocks all round Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G0 looks like the way forward, more FPS in Crysis, roughly twice the performance for 3D rendering and video compression, and higher overclocks all round I will probably put it under water before its over with. I just got it all together two days ago. That 67c was with the window open next to it sucking in 44f air, however it will run 24/7 load at 3.6Ghz at no more than 60c regular room temp. I am not sure what temp is safe with the quad? Also just because its a G0 does not mean it is going to overclock well. There are some that do good to get 3.4Ghz and others overclock like mad...
