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?

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
