Intel Core Quad Q6600-2.4 Ghz
Abit IP35E Motherboard
Coolermaster Gemin II heatsink with 2 coolermaster 120mm fans

With all that equipment, why is that Q6600 still at 2.4 Ghz

Still it is a very good configuration, since a core quad running at 2.4 Ghz can perform much much better than a single core processor at 4Ghz or so. See that it has got four execution cores.

i paid $180 with one day shipping to someone in the us. bought from amazon. without shipping it wouldve come to $135. but i had only that 1 day to ship hence i had to pay the extra.

What i meant was , Why the overclocking board and HSF if he wanted to run it at stock
I'm sure he has overclocked it. wanted to know what speeds he was able to reach stably!

The specs on some of the machinery here are truly mindboggling...and I just went downmarket on specs for some mobility:

Dell Latitude D420
Intel CPU U2500 (1.20 GHz Ultra Low Voltae Duo)
1 GB RAM
80 GB HDD (1.8" PATA - this is the real performance killer)
All the usual communication interfaces
NO DISK DRIVE but SD and SmartCard readers built-in
Built in HSDPA/UMTS/GPRS/CDMA connectivity
SD Card Reader et al
All of 1.1 KG (with a full-size keyboard)!!!

aaaaah. the air. nice piece of machinery.

@greenhorn - i am running my Q6600 at 2.7 Ghz 24x7 on a DFI LP LT P35 T2R board.
Prior to that, it was stable 3.0Ghz on ABIT IP35E - that too for 24x7.

PS : My room has no A/C - used a small table fan to feed more air on the cpu.

Will an A/C make any difference in overclocking ?? Already gettin one fitted in my room tomorrow

@steeroid - nice nice !

Ac does not directly make a difference, but cold air does

The only reason why solid state electronic devices fail is heat. When heat gets generated due to some reason or the other, and when it crosses the normal operating temp of a device, it fails. If you have a good cooling system, you can avoid this, and thats it.

[navpreet318]

well the reason why the system is running stock is because i've just upgraded a week back and am currently stabelizing my windows setup.

this stupid xp sp3 has big time bugs.right click freezes.this is becoz of a perticular update.and it suddely restarts just as the windows loading screen goes off.another bug.

so i'm doing a once over with this.

and yes i bought all this equipment just for overclocking.so lets see i should expect over 3 Ghz.i remember reading somewhere that this processor to be stable upto 3.4 Ghz.

by the way the setup cost me 60 grand minus the keyboard and mice.as i had them from before.

Why only 2.7 ??? Dont insult the LT or give it to me, i will show how its meant to be USED

AC will drop ambient air temperatures which helps in reduction of the temps.

LOLz.. lot of work going on right now on that particular pc, so i am not o'cing it much. Actually, I am running it at stock since yesterday.

Oh ok.You dont buy a DFI board for a Office PC where you cant risk OCing the PC
I will give you a perfect board for your usage, give that DFI to me, i will use it the way its meant to be used

Well we have 4 pc: 3 desktops and 1 laptop.

My access is limited to my pc:
The configuration is as follows:

RAM: 2 X1GB Dynet DDR 2, 667 MHz
Hard disk: Seagate barracuda 7200.10 SATA 250GB for Windows XP, and Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 PATA 200GB for Fedora 8.

Graphics Card: Point-of-View 7300GT with only passive cooling.
Keyboard: Logitech Standard white.

First SMPS was damaged and the with it went my first motherboard.
Second overheated. And this is going to blast because of overheating.

10k and it is all yours !!
Just kidding bro.

Well, it is actually my personal machine, but for the time being I use it for the designing work. Once the work is over ( another 2 weeks time ), it will be overclocked.

[gigy]

my new HTPC rig;
GA-MA78GM-S2H (rev.1.0) with AMD Athlon 5600+ and 2gb DDR2 800 ram.
olld components used: 250gb hard disk, asus DVD writer, creative 5.1 and leadtek tv tuner in zebronics doom case.
waiting for 1080p lcd prices to dip to more affordable price.
