We DOUBLE The Speed Of The Q6600!

Today we put one of the most legendary CPU's to the test, the Core 2 Quad Q6600! With the help of LN2 we were able to overclock the CPU to go TWICE as fast as stock!

Used it years ago?! The Q6600 is my daily driver!

[@Mini-z1994]

Socket 775 is a pretty fun platform too overclock on, super easy platform too learn old school style of overclocking on where you have too tweak memory speeds, voltages here & there rather then just multiplier + voltage & off too the races on like unlocked newer processors, specially on newer dualcores like the e8400 i got.
Got the e8400 picked randomly out of a decomissioned hp desktop & it ran overclocked stable at 4 ghz no problem at all with just an intel copperslug heatsink for like a pentium D 945 or similar.
Motherboard i got here for socket 775 is a Asus p5q premium which i got for free a few years ago when a cousin upgraded.
Which is not the best at overclocking but did a solid job imo with some tweaking too chipset & memory controller voltages too get dual channel stable at that overclock with 1066 mhz ocz reapers.

I am running 4 GHz E8600 in my retro gaming computer. 😀

Great video! May I ask where to find Windows 7 stable version? Thank you

[@MichaelLubold]

i still use mine in my daily computer and heavy game with it still, legendary cpu

[@blackpete]

Very cool. Nice to see you back. Do you still use the copper cup or do you have a proper pot now? 😜

[@TechTested]

Haha I have a proper pot. Definitely think the cup would struggle to get temps low enough.
Glad to hear from you! I definitely hope to put up more stuff but trying to do quality over quantity now

[@blackpete]

@@TechTested if i would have watched the video completely before commenting, i would have been wiser .... You definitively made a quality video, I like the idea of quality over quantity.
I'm good, by the way, hope youre good too.

I had a qx6700 that I ran at 4ghz 24/7 on air.

Eat burek

[@FlakerGamer]

Oh man I finally have build my dreams computer with Q6600 on a Asus P5K3 with 4gb of ram and two 9800 GT brand new in SLI

[@XionLuis]

What an old beast, goddamn!

[@pRaX85815]

I had a G0 aswell. Thing was a beast.

[@sdxq]

glad to see people still use windows 7 these days also Q6600 is still somewhat useable in 2024

[@LawrenceTimme]

I got 467cb in r15 on phase at -52c and 5.28 in 11.5 too.

[@damasterpiece08]

how does this compare to a dual e5450 ? would make for a nice video

[@techromancer313]

Long time no see! Always appreciate your content sir! 😁

[@razorsz195]

I wonder how that scrap qx6700 you found will do on LN2!

[@TechTested]

I will need to see about my qx6850 too

[@kamalashraf4846]

I still have mine. 😊
