not for 24/7 use though :S

I have issues at 3.42Ghz. After about 5-6 hours it just restarts. No reason. No hotter than when first started, nothing different done.

sounds like a chipset issue that monkey.


bugger thw stole the uk of another wr :(

edit


just checked and they havent :D we (by we i mean the uk) still have the q6600 wr @5133mhz :d go johnny bravo :D

Holy JEEBUS, you think they ran the core directly off the mains to reach that speed?? :O

[marsey99]

funny things can happen under a triple stage cascade with 1.9v running to your cores :D

[mac124]

1.9v aint funny, don't care how cold the cpu is i seriously doubt it will run for long at that speed.

Whats the world record for 24h prime stable?

Around 4.14 i think i seen on XS

[marsey99]

i have seen a few wolfdales doing 4.6ghz+ prime stable but im not sure if it was 24hours+

for a wr all you need is it stable long enough to validate the cpuz tho, i think jb runs that speed for bench runs tho, check his hwbot scores, him and jabski are the best in the uk.

"Update: As has been observed, the processor used in this test was a Core 2 Quad Q6600, with two of the cores disabled by the team in France. This configuration was used in order to hit the highest frequencies possible, rather than to yield a fast and usable system."

That's just stupid then, because they haven't overclocked the whole thing. Unless they overclock the whole processor, why should it count?

Unless I could leave it on and (bar a power cut) still have it running in 6 months, and offers significantly better performance than stock (2 at 5100 isn't much more than 4 at 2.4 each... so in theory it's barely faster - with the right software), it ain't an overclock I care about.
