Help me push my 3dmark06 higher please

[mrapoc]

Hey guys

I got to 14465 3DMarks today with a bit of tinkering.

CPU (q6600 g0) is at 3.5ghz..not sure how stable but i had to put voltages up to stop bluescreens

8800gt is at 710/1775/955

Your biggest gain will come from higher CPU clocks.

There the likes of disabling processes that will give you an extra hand full of points.

And of course, use XP not vista.

What's that copy of XP that's been really streamlined for stuff like benchmarks, the one where they took all the 'crap' out so it's really cut down.

Make sure you have v-sync off in the nvidia control panel

 

[mrapoc]

Its not for hardcore benching..just really wanna get gaming performance as high as possible

So i will be sticking with vista

I seem to be stuck at 3.5ghz - tried loosening ram to 6-6-6-20 and trfc to 60. vcore is something like 1.43453 and ram is at 2.2v. fsb voltage is at 1.41239 or something and nortbridge is about 1.4

 

[Royalfork]

Many Q6600 chips require a good deal of voltage to be stable over 3.4...Some will be perfectly stable at 3.6 or more with 1.4v or less...Others need upwards of 1.5v...Trial and error!

Mine is OCCT stable at 3.42 with 1.3525...My vid is 1.2375

 

[nepas]

whats the vid of your chip?

 

[mrapoc]

the what sorry?

 

[nepas]

the vid is the lowest amount your chip needs to run according to Intel.Run coretemp and it will tell you the vid of your chip

 

[mrapoc]

it is

1.3125v

 

[nepas]

ouch!!thats the highest vid you can get,how new is the chip as a lot of the new ones struggle to get to 3.6

 

[mrapoc]

Got it last year sometime

not too long ago mind

Mine is 1.3250
