The new encouraging overclock results of dual core processor conroe on stepping G0 was published yesterday ( Conroe G0 stepping overclocking ). But here on G0 stepping will be transferred not only desktop dual cores processors conroe, but also mobile processors merom and desktop four core processors kentsfield. Passage on G0 stepping will allow the processors core 2 Quad to reduce its energy consumption level . Only after passage on G0 stepping the processor core 2 Extreme QX6850 (3.0 GHz) will be supplied in retail market without limitations.
The well-known overclocker coolaler , has the engineering model of four core processor core 2 Extreme QX6850 (3.0 GHz). This is the first processor kentsfield with 1333 MHz system bus on new G0 stepping , witch for sure possesses the improved overclock potential :-).
In the motherboard asus P5B deluxe (Intel p965) with vcore voltage 1.56 v and air cooling tuniq tower 120 , the processor core 2 Extreme QX6850 succeeded to overclock up to 4.0 GHz. A Worthy result for air cooled four core intel processor .
With Liquid nitrogen and motherboard MSI p35 platinum (Intel p35) , the processor was overclocked to 4.8 GHz frequency , at which it passed CPU- Z validation .
