Well, my awesome mate doyl gave me his Q6600 because his motherboard died, I stuck a TRUE 120 on it and overclocked it to 3.2ghz. It's so much faster now that I'm not even going to bother upgrading (for now)!

Damn straight!

It's ok though, my new chip poos all over the 6600.

Currently sitting on 4022mhz ;)

^^ what chip and is that air

i have had my Q6600 @ 3.4 on air but during the middle of summer my computer room gets too hot and my computer does random restarts

what can the i7 2600's get up too 1155 socket

Q6600 on 3.2 was air with this http://www.overclock...p_se14_review/4

New chip is an i7 960 using an H70 to cool it. Kind of underwhelming really.

Want to get a proper water cooling setup again :P

As for the 2600 - 2600k thing, yes, an unlocked multiplier.

Apparently most overclocking is locked on the non-K chips, so if you want to overclock, best bet will be the 2500K or 2600K.

And yeah, they overclock like nothing else.

Edited by doyl

2600k have been doing 4.5ghz on air.

If you had a hotter room etc, just lap the CPU head and you'll get a few degrees out of it. I managed to drop 7 degrees lapping my E8400 - which has run @ 4.1-4.2ghz 24x7 on air for 3-4 years or so :)

Mine took me about 2 hours whilst i was watching TV.

If i actually paid attention im sure i could cut that time in half :)

A CPU heatsink is never perfectly flat as you'll see in the guide. You also use less thermal paste as a result after 'lapping'

But ye, i picked up a good 7 degree drop. Pretty impressive for a couple hours work. One of the best value modifications really if you intend to overclock as all it takes it about $10 and 2hrs. Some CPU's might get more, some might get less. All depends on how covex your CPU lid is from the manufacturer. My E8400 was TERRIBLE.

yeah i don't think i will be going through that process

makes your CPU look shit house and if you do have to send it back for warranty er yeah good luck with that

You fry it due to OC, don't even bother with warranty attempt :P

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
