NEW Benchmark scene (Max 8 Vray RC3 required)

Yeah thats a good time. On my E6420 @ 3.2ghz I got thru it in 3m25s.

Tell ya what the G0 Q6600 are amazingly cool. In my warm room (just finished hosting a lan so a few computers and monitors plus people, so my case temp is 37c CPU temp is 30c and core temps vary from 19c-23c.. at stock tho.. but even stil. Super cool.
Thats with a thermalright ultra 120

Gonna push for 3.2-3.6ghz on the weekend.

woaw. nice..

my turn :
1000 € Pc
Q6600 Rev G0
Mobo Asus P5K premium
4*1Ghz DDr2-800

overclock :
Q6600 run now at 3504Ghz (59°)
Coeff 8
FSB : 438 (mobo t° : 36°)

render time on Vray 1.5, Max9_64, Vista_64 : 1m25.5
(before overclovk : 2m4.4)

not so bad for a 1000€ Pc !

Yeah an OC'd Q6600 is a force to be reckonned with.

They really are biting at the heels of those dual quads!!

Are you at CPU stock voltage?

I can run my quad X3210 @ 3.60Ghz (450x but with 1.48Vcore...
With a full watercooling (CPU, north and southbridge) my CPUs are arround 49°C and the mobo 25°C (21°C ambient)

[Subburb]

nice !

I was unable to have a stable Pc at 3.6.. 3.55 is the max i could reach.
3.5 is stable.

My voltages :
CPU : 1.4875
CPU PLL : 1.6
Dram : 1.85
FSB termination : 1.3
Northbridge voltage : 1.9

other voltages are in automatic mode.

no watercooling here, just a advanve turboost box and zalman CNPS9500 for the CPU (as suggests me the vendor )

i'd been a bit disappointed with my previous bench tests on this rig so i thought i'd run the test first thing in the morning on a cool system and the results are way better! previous times had been up around the 1m 45's...

i think it's most likely down to processor cooling (currently passive) so i've got some coolermaster active heatsinks to put in during the week. hopefully there'll be a noticeable improvement when under load for long periods. (animations, biiiig renders etc...)

[DaForce]

What memory are you running?

A few memory require 2.1v just to run at stock... so maybe you need to up that.

[s0real]

4x kingston 1gb 533mhz ddr2 ecc (well that's what is on the original order... i'll have to check inside when i install the fans to make sure...)

would the power to the ram decrease during load though? as that's when it's been running slower than it should...

If your PSU is too weak, then yes, but in this the case then you would probably have experiment strong reboot and bluescreen

To me it sound like your cpus arent correctly cooled and reach as soon as your hit "render" their thermal trottling limit and so, slow down the frequency.[/url]

[s0real]

that's what i've been thinking. i'll do more tests after i've put a couple of these in:



hopefully should cool things down a bit!

Not bad...

[vlado]

Heh, not bad at all, compared to the 8 minutes it takes on my machine I think this result (46.9s) is the lowest on this test so far, no?

Best regards,

[Subburb]

impressive...
yes it seems to be a new record..
