interesting Matthew that the Q6600 with less speed still beats the newer CPU with more speed so one might guess its all the cache the Q6600 has

yeah i might uninstall FF

I would agree.. the old AMD budget cpus were full fledged rigs just minus cache and limited them severely. I spose yours being quad core and mine being dual your advantage in the memory stakes is cache.

BTW I just ran 3dmark06 with it at 4ghz as on the previous everest stats and improved the score to 16423 not a bad jump for no money.

nice what gfx is that with

Thats with an ATI 4870 512.. almost bought a 4870 x2 on sunday to add to it but really need to buy those coil packs lol.. stag come first... sometimes.

That 4ghz is on air cooling too... mind you it only just squeezes into the case height wise

ah nice i just booted back into win7 and FF works :D

running @ 3.4ghz benched 3d mark 06 and score another 2k on previous score, took a few goes to get it to book properly had to lower the FSB each time

>>14278 ORB<<

super Pi not that much different @ 15.332 Checksum: 01D34DA9

will edit with CSS frames

CSS saw a healthy jump in FPS from

Pass 2 251.98 - fps_max 400

Pass 3 256.88 - fps_max 600

Pass 4 244.08 - firefox open in the back ground

TOO

Pass 1 276.68 - fps_max 700

Pass 2 277.29 - fps_max 700

What's your GPU clock & memory clock cos the score looks higher than norm for stock HD4870 512Mb (ie. 750Mhz/900Mhz)

Nice job...now run Linpack to see how stable it is :(

I might get back to O/C since winter is arriving...in summer I managed the E8400 (E0) @ 4.46ghz (496x9) with 1.49vcore aircooled, any higher it would crash if I tried starting up in standby mode. Also, main restriction is the mobo as it struggles to handle FSB higher than 525-530 so theoretically ~4.8Ghz (530x9) would be it's limit.

The beauty of the dual cores :) 525-530 is f**kin' decent, what motherboard?

My Q6600 hits FSB wall at around 460-470FSB even when I drop the multiplier to 7 :D I think the sweet spot for the Q6600's is multiplier at 8 and use the CPU Strap to raise the memory bus.

Yeah the Wolfdale processor are great that way. mobo is a Gigabyte EP45 DS3R, performs almost on par with the EP45-extreme and only lacks the bigger NB and SB heatsinks.

Can't believe even after 2+yrs when it comes to o/c and performance the Q6600 is still prob one of the best bang for your $$.

Those P45 boards were great value. So long as you keep air flowing over those heatsinks you shouldn't have a problem..... I hope Gigabyte did a better job of mounting those heatsinks than ASUS did on mine!!!

One day I'll pull my NB/SB heatsinks and reseat them, probably my only gripe with my Maximus Formula SE board I must admit.

Speaking of Q6600s

And while I am shamelessly plugging my Habibay auctions, anyone want a nice PCI-e 7600GT?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=270385625022

I will have a PCI-e Asus EAH3850 256Mb DDR3 Video card $120 for sale shortly too if anyone has an eoi.

I will also shortly have a 320Gb WD SATA HDD $40, 400Gb WD SATA HDD $50 and a 500Gb WD SATA HDD $60 for sale soon if anyone wants some storage.

what you mean when i comes out tomorrow Helso already has it

i too had one of the early versions of the RC, got it on april 2.

there is a newer publicly available RC out now on the m$oft website

whats that FF add-on that saves all ur other add-ons to a remote server?

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
