I've managed to get the Q6600 to 3.3GHz @ 1.35v - it's stable and has good temps. It does 3.6 @ 1.4v, but it get pretty hot (68-69C). The GTX 280 in it also gets really hot, so I think for now I'll stick with 3.3GHz. 3.6 is manageable if I set the fan to 80-90% (65C), but the Tuniq 120 makes a lot …

I've always used P35 chipset boards for overclocking. The MSI P35 NEO2 FiR is a beast when it comes to OC (it was my board back in the day). The Asus P5K64 WS isn't too shabby either, but it's not very reliable. X38 / x48 boards are pretty rare and expensive (even now). Most people are asking 50-80$ …

The Thermalright Macho is by far the best air cooler I've ever used. The only downside is that it's MASSIVE.

That is a mean looking PC case :lol: Yup - I've allways loved the Z11+. It's one of the better looking "mean" cases in my opinion :) Z11plus_b_01.jpg Short answer : 3,6-3,8GHz 24/7 should be doable with good enough cooling (you have it). I clocked B3 revision of Kentsfield (in form of QX6700), at …
Re: Can the FIC 486 VIP IO support Amd 486 dx2 80 3volt?

Solved.... It was not the multiplier. When changing J27, the board get confused, and after some swapping around with no change to actual speed. The board simply refuses to boot until I have installed and run the 5x86-133 correctly. What was the source of the board not recognicing the Amd 486dx2-80, …

My experience with Crysis through the first couple of years of its release were like this: - Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8GHz, 1.5GB RAM, GeForce 7600GT AGP 1024x768 - Low I was getting ~30FPS, many drops obviously. - Core 2 Duo E6550, 2GB RAM, 7800GTX 256MB 1280x1024 - Medium I was getting ~30FPS, again …

Safely depends on 3 things 1: your systems cooling 2: your motherboards vrm 3: your psu If you have good cooling, 8pin cpu cable and strong vrm along with a psu that can handle the load 4ghz would be my limit for daily usage. But 3ghz is the highest oc most can hit and 3.2ghz on a g0 I posted the …

No, it means the multiplier is most likely set to 3x. It would be a good idea to check clock speed in speedsys and cachecheck or PCconfig - it's possible the bios is incorectly identifying the CPU. If they read 120Mhz or the machine freezes, set J27 to 1-2 or remove it completely until you get 2x40. …

As far as I know "bioteq" is a rebranded Eteq chipset.

... you set the multiplier to 3x.... so it's set up for a DX4 - 100, and with 40MHz fsb you get 120MHz... you need to have it set to 2x. Alternatively set the FSB to 33MHz and you will get 100Mhz. It should be stable since 70-80% of DX2-80 are actually rebranded DX4-100 cpus.

Configure the board for the 66MHz DX-2, then set the FSB to 33MHz (FSB jumper settings are printed on the PCB). The board can run anything form 25 (25x1) to 200MHz (50x4*), including your 80MHz DX2. *only on AMD and Cyrix CPUs that interpret 2x as 4x internally. Basically as an AMD486 dx2 3-volt? …

Hi guys. Does anyone have any experience overclocking the Q6600? I'm wondering how high you can (safely) clock it, since I have one in my main XP rig witch has also become my guest gaming PC since I regularly have friends or relatives over to play new and old games. It does great in older games ( …

I once tried Crysis with a Radeon X850. That wasn't pretty. It's not really designed to be limited to shader model 2. :) I had an 8800GTX for the game but even it struggled badly with some of the missions. I got a Radeon 6950 after that which was a huge improvement. Though you also need a lot of …

That sucks :( Yup... it's the reason I spent a butt-load of $$$ ( one whole paycheck) to get a GTX 1070... If a game doesn't run smoothly I can't play it. I also like eye candy turned up as high as possible - some games look so good it's a shame to play them w/o maxed out graphics settings. And …

7950 GT should be enough for Full HD on Low preset or 1024:768 with Medium preset (that Medium just barely tho). Radeons X19xx series are A LOT better for Crysis (from D9c only cards). If you want fluid High settings with Full HD resolution, you will need at least Radeon 4870 or GTX 260. Our …

Try to find an AT psu. I'm 110% sure the issues you're having with the LS486 board I sent you are also PSU related. It might be sending 3.3v direcly from the PSU
