I have seen legitreview that they overclocked the QX6700 to 3.73 on air cooling, do anyone know the specs to it?

From what I've seen, if you're using decent water cooling 3.6Ghz for a retail B3 QX6700 should be possible for 24/7 use.

I'd expect something more like 2.8-3.2Ghz for a 24/7 air cooled overclock depending on what your ambient air temperatures are.

the only real way to know is to take your time and overclock slowly and watch your temps closely you cannot ever get the exact same results as others sometimes better sometimes worse. but just enjoy it and take it slow, no need to ruin perfectly good hardware by pushing it too hard too soon.

Presuming you've ran 4x orthos prime stress test for all cores to verify its stableness (for an overnight/~8 hour sesh).

Update!! I have been able to push my QX6700 to 3.6GHz x8 multi @ 1800MHz fsb with temps idle 52c/load 70c. Im still on air cooling and having a fit trying to get temps max @ 65c under full load. Any suggestions?

Better cooling.

Go Water or Coolit Freezone or if your brave try phase change. With a good mobo you should push 4ghz with phase change, just home made phase changers run the risk of exploding so how bad do you want 4ghz lol.

Freezone/Eliminator would be easiest, its a self contained TEC based liquid cooling system, Freezone runs $399 while the Eliminator runs $199 but I wouldn't recommend the Eliminator for a quad core chip. more info is at http://www.coolitsystems.com

Water is more complex you need pumps, blocks, hoses, fittings, coolant, etc but its more customizable and when done right is more satisfying in my opinion.

Phase change I don't know much about but its the mack daddy of PC cooling, its also incredibly expensive and a pain to set up but the results are amazing, you would need one of these
along with neoprene foam to insulate your CPU socket and dielectric grease to fill in air gaps between your proc and socket. any air trapped between the cooler and the outside air will freeze solid. I wouldn't even recommend this on a nice setup for a beginner.

those Freezzone coolers like a pretty good cooling solution for overslocking


ill get 1 of these when i upgrade to a quad core 4sure


im waitin till the end of the year see if intel has anythin new out my e6700 does the job for now


+no money burning a hole in my pocket so no quad core for me yet lol
