good coolers for qx6700 for overclocking

[johndoe11]

hello i have a qx6700 and 680i, i was wondering what are good coolers for a quad core. if you look at this link, there is not much to choose from.

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/appl...=10&Nav=|c:493|&Sort=1

i just want to be able to overclock 800mhz to 1000mhz MAX, not anymore than that, which cooler in that link can keep the cpu under 65C at FULL 100% load for all 4 cores. Iv been reading on tigerdirect, stories of people returning so many heatsinks after trying to cool down the qx6700. like whats the best heatsink and fan, or the best water cooling (only 2 in that link wonder if they are worth the money). thanks.

i've had good results using the Zalman CNPS 9700NT hsf. it allowed me to get to 3.5GHz with 1.45v. i'm not sure what you mean about reaching "1000mhz MAX" though. the qx6700 runs at 1066MHz stock. if i remember correctly, i overclocked the fsb to around 1275MHz.

as far as liquid cooling, my current set up gets me up to 3.8GHz stable at 1.65v.

This one is huge, but it works and it's a relative bargain.

Only worry is whether it fits your case and board.

okey... i want to know WHAT cooling system your using.

Your in phase territory my friend. And i highly doubt you have h2o cooling that will match mine.

Dont recomend insane voltages like this to people. EVEN on water. 1.65 is insane. You will damage your chip, and it will die a horible death even on water. Only phase can handle this type of voltage.

Also the Zalman BLOWS. It sucks hardcore on quads. Everyone thats own one with a quad will tell you a tuniq or a ultra120 will spank it across all 4 cores. So what kind of advice are you giving on this forum?

aigomorla, you are a presumptuous, self centered person. your posts are filled with hearsay and second hand knowledge. i don't care what type of cooling you have or am i trying to compare mine with yours. i'm not here for a "who's is bigger?" piss match.

if you don't like Zalman, then that is your opinion. but i own and used the 9700NT with my QX6700 with fantastic results and will continue to recommend it. the poster had a specific question about a component that i own and i gave advice on components that i use.

i have nothing to prove to you or am i giving bad advice to people as you are trying to make it out. i've already proven you to be a liar and will continue to discredit your opinions with my facts.

So your saying its OK to run a quad @ 1.65Vcore for regular everyday use? <please tell me HOW this can be okey>

And where have you proven me wrong? and isnt passing on second hand knowledge important? I mean all knowledge is second hand. I never said i was a front father in watercooling.

My knowledge comes from experience with it and Also the many thread posts over at XS systems forum. You want to go and check out if anything ive said was wrong, go ahead.

Show me where im wrong.

And i have no problem admitting im wrong when im wrong. I am human afterall, but i dont recall you ever proving me wrong. Care to remind me? Because it looks like you only have 6 posts. that with the first one would make 4 posts, so your saying you proved me wrong in 4 posts?

OR did you get ban'd from AT, and had to remake a new account?

Also you are aware QX6700 is a B3's. You are also aware they have a higher TDP then regaulr Q6600 B3's which makes them hotter by design.

And your recomending him the zalman CPS9700?

EDIT: Looking at your config in sig, thats your watercooling and your saying that someone told you it was okey to run that chip at 1.65Vcore? Dude, tell me who told you it was okey to run any C2D or C2Q chip at 1.65Vcore on non sub ambient cooling please.

This is the beef i have with you. Your telling people its safe to run a chip @ 1.65Vcore?

Read what he said again, he did not say you should and use 1.65 for vCore. In fact he said with his Zalman he was about to hit 3.5Ghz at a vCore of 1.45.

Then he continued to say with his liquid cooling set-up he could get 3.8Ghz stable with a vCore of 1.65.


He also doesn't say if he is running that 24/7.

For all I care he could have suicide overclocked it to see how much it would take to get that high.

On top of all that he could have it set to 1.65 in bios but after vDroop it could be below 1.60.

He could also be using C1E and Speedstep so it doesn't run at that all the time.

One last thing I promise, what is "stable" to him, all his applications or games run fine. or His pc passes orthos/prime 95 stress tests. He also doesn't say what his idle and load temps are.

Get more details before you go on a pissing frenzy.

Blah not going to fully comment on this. Your right on some aspects, but wrong from another.

But i would like to see where he proved me wrong.

And if you were to recomend a cooler to this person what would it be? a Zalman?

Tuniq Tower or Ultra120Extreme for air solutions if overclocking. Thats my recomendation.

Read my thoughts on his ridiculous build here.

I just can't seem to force myself to help him after he makes that retarded purchase.

Ridiculous ain't it?

Odd thing was, I mentioned a top of the line cooler in my little rant posts in that thread, but then he makes this thread.
