Core 2 BSEL MOD Ninja Hack on three Q6xxx Quad Core's - 435

An older offices desktop computer can be upgraded quit a bit! if it has like an Intel Core2 CPU,, for like 17$ you can get an Quad Core Q6600, and with a small piece of tape you can even get 23,4% extra out of it. Charting it to use a 1333MHz FSB instead of the 1066MHz FSB that it is meant to run with.

Great video - really useful and learnful. i have 3 of those HP's running in my home lab and i recently upgraded em too haha

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi FoxelVox Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@capri2wd]

Q6600 was my first gaming rig (lent to me by a friend), some can overclock really well, my mates was clocked @3.8G under water cooling but only managed 3.4G on a air cooler (got too hot otherwise). Nice vid, shame the QX didn't work in your board those cpu's were well expensive new.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi capri2wd Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@geraldcrouse5256]

The E6500 and E6550 and others you wanted to improve performance on, are I believe 1333 fsb cpu's hence no increase in performance. I believe they crashed when the pin wa taped is because they are coded to use the pin you taped to get the 1333 FSB. The hack on the Q6600 is a great one,as they are cheap and are compatible with most 775 socket motherboards. I have upgraded many computers using the Q6600 CPU. Now using your hack, I can get much higher performance too! THANKS!

[@MarkJYule]

what I would add - I did the 771-775 hack and went from a 3ghz Dual core to a Xeon quad core at 3ghz. I retained the original cooler - passive aluminium only and it ran fine but was hot - 80'c + under load. I stumbled on a Dell OEM heat pipe cooler - Dell recommend it for the Quad core. it has a copper base and heat pipe design. £3 on eBay and it dropped temps by 12'c under load ! Another point to note is that my board has an alleged max ram of 4gb....which is wrong - 8gb is fine :) Thanks Morten. All in I spent about £80 UK and have a quiet quad core :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Mark J. Yule Thank You very much! The chipset in this desktop will not work with the 771 MOD. I have done video on the 771 MOD Thank you for watching! :-)

[@morantaylor]

I wish I knew about this mod when the Q6600 was my main system. Will be tempted to try it and checkout the performance gain since its in an overclockers board :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Moran Taylor It fun just to see it work! I ran it for 1½ year,, until I got a new PC. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@steelwolf411]

You might want to also take a look at a piece of software Called SoftFSB 1.7 It allows overclocking on oem boards.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Steel Wolf Thank You very much! does it work? Thank you for watching! :-)

[@steelwolf411]

It worked for me running windows 7 on a dell optiplex 745 with a E4500. Also you might want to look at SetFsb if SoftFSB does not work.

[@paolodc1697]

Morten, I got an HP SFF 8000 (similar to the one you have but with a different power button and usb ports) and got the chip replaced by HP, they changed the broken Q8400 3ghz and replaced it with a QX9650 3ghz 4 core 12gb mem 1333fsb and it works like a charm without having to tape masking it.

[@zx8401ztv]

I wonder if the 2nd cpu was having an effect on memory access speeds, windows will bluescreen for many reasons, faster memory might help. With the very old systems there was jumpers for all the cpu program pins, bloody shame that everything is automatic now ;-(. Like your ninja mod :-D, very clever :-D

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi zx8401ztv Thank You very much! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@cybercapri]

You may want to toy around with the LGA 771 to 775 mod, it's very easy to do and this Ninja Trick allows you to install Xeon's in LGA 775 Sockets. You will have to cut the two CPU aligning Tabs from the socket, basically the most difficult part of this mod as you can easily brick your MB if you bend pins in the process. Some folks cut the tabs away with a CPU in the socket to keep the debris from getting on the pin or keeping the bed of pin safe. Once the hold down bracket is out of the way you can easily cut the tabs with a utility knife and CPU installed. Then add the MOD Tape to the bottom of the CPU and you are golden. Not sure if both Mods would work together, but most LGA 771 already use the 1,333 FSB anyways. I used this 771 Ninja Trick on a Dell T3400 and installed the Xeon X3363, highest CPU for the T3400, with no bios update or anything. Needless to say this is one Rocking T3400. I think it does almost 400 or like 389ish in Cinebench R15, I forget as it's been a few weeks since last I've tested it. The LGA 771 and 775 are the same DIE size but the 771 has the CPU Socket alignment different but the Gold Corner Marker are the same; just line it up in the modded socket and you should be fine. Some LGA 775 MB's are Compatible with 3XXX Xeon's Series CPU's while others can use the faster 5XXX Series Xeon's. A very common 5XXX Xeon is the X5460 3.16 GHz and costs like 20 US now, give or take. It was cheaper until the MOD caught on, I paid 15 for mine and it's gone up in price since Mar 2016. Some MB require a bios update to work with the 771 Mod so maybe that might be the case for your mod as well. If you mentioned if you've updated the BIOS I missed it. It's worth a try to update the BIOS and see if it will accept the higher CPU's.

Dear my help here, I put the tapes on the correct pins (I checked several times if they were the correct pins), then I turn on the PC, from the video, then when I enter the BIOS of the card (p5g4it-m lx2 / br asus) the right clock of 3.0ghz appears, and when i go into the blue screen windows, the pc restarts, and returns to the standard clock of 2.40ghz, do you know how to fix this?

[@MyPlayHouse]

The CPU needs to be a CPU with a FSB of 1066MHZ,, the tape trick will tell it to run 1333MHZ,, if it is a 1333MHZ CPU from the start,,it will not work.

The Q6600 is a very common processor. This should be good enough as long as you have decent ram. A good way to get another year or so out of your Q6600 based machines for desktop / internet use. Its plenty fast enough for office use if you dont keep updating to the latest bloatware that is MS office, and stick with open / libre office or abiword. Hell I still have a pentium 3 that i use when i need 16 bit backwards compatibility and a real RS-232 port, that thing is "ninja hacked" too , it had an adaptor plate so i can put the later Tualatin P3 in a none Tualatin Board, i cries about microcode but that thing runs like a beast considering its age.

[@AaronHendu]

I know this is an old video, but have you tried using software such as Throttlestop to set the voltage to stay at your max VID? I use that when I do this mod sometimes, and that usually helps quite a bit. If you look at CPU-z, the voltage will fluctuate with your clock speed, and sometimes, if you can boot into Windows at least, setting it to max VID with Throttlestop will usually make it stable. If not, you can also use Throttlestop to control the multiplier and set it down a notch or two until you can run the test stable. My bet is the Q6700 would get a little bit more than the Q6600, but not by much. This stuff is all hit or miss though, of course, but 9.5x333 1.325V with Throttlestop would be my settings if I wanted to try the Q6700/qx6700 again.

it's 2017 and I just got a q6600 :P my motherboard has overclock support though, can I just set the FSB to 1333mhz and leave the voltage as it is?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Daniel Lee It shout work better if you increase the voltages just a little bit,, like 0,1 volt. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@daniellee6912]

My PlayHouse thanks

[@socatekun]

For 2,7ghz u need to bump the voltage to 1,275v if you let it on auto it goes to 1,3+ and u get 65 on heatsink and 75 on cores,also multiplier @ 9 pcie @ 100mhz ram on auto

[@gyulamasa6512]

Those SFF PCs had a very low power PSU inside. It could easily be that the Q6700 overclocked just simpli caused a too high PSU voltage breakdown. Or only the VRM was not capable enough. A slight voltage increase most likely solves such problems. (Usually, if you check the original datasheet of these type of machines, you will find, that the Desktop, or Midi tower versions support quad core CPU-s while the SFF ones do not. I have Dell Optiplexes at home)

[@MyPlayHouse]

The Q6600 and the Q6700 is kind of raded as using about the same power.

[@gyulamasa6512]

@@MyPlayHouse Well, the TDP of them are the same. However this does not mean, that their ACTUAL power draw is the same. TDP value is a worst case guideline for Motherboard manufacturers to show, which power rating the should design their VRM systems, and for CPU cooler manufacturers the same. In general, power dissipation is linearry proportional to the clock speed, and exponentially proportional to supply voltage. BUT! CPU stability is decreasing as clock frequency is increased. (you need higher current to flip the logic transistors quick enough, which needs higher supply voltage by Ohm's law. However, semiconductors are non--linear devices, so this is not 100% accurate.) That's why usually you need to increase CPU supply voltage, as you increase clock frequency. This means, that the original ratio between the two CPUs is 2666/2400= approx. 11% more for Q6700. So, if the voltage is not changed (which you cannot really do on this kind of PCs) the ACTUAL power draw will be proportionally, 11% more. But you have to change the voltage too, as you increase clock speeds. Since these motherboard BIOS does not provide any overclocking potential, you cannot run your Q6700 CPU on higher clock speeds (of course, hogy can increase the CPU voltage by actually messing with the HW, but that needs a different kind of set of skills) :-) So, if you have access to an O.C. friendly MoBo (like the Asus P5k series), you can repeat the test and I tell you, that you have a better chance to be successful.

that's right for core 2 quad Q8400 ?

[@MyPlayHouse]

NO the Q8400 already has a 1333 MHz FSB.

[@Morphox]

I have a question... is there any way this could go wrong with the Q6600? A friend of mine told me that the worst outcome of this would be that the PC would never ever startup again. Please tell me it's safe. I don't want to mess up.

[@MyPlayHouse]

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Jacob Wagers I am not going to tell you that this is safe,, I ram my computer this way for a year,, and I did not replace because it was broken. Read the comments and make up your own mind,, a q6600 is only like $10-15 and they worked way the best. Thank you for watching! :-)

My PlayHouse so i do a little Research and figured oft that my memory frequenz are risig up to 448MHZ (DDR2 800mhz RAM) with nearly 2.7Ghz ob the Prozessor. I think i cant Go and furter without killing my RAM. Is the Memory Frequenz rising the same way with your Method. Greetings Tobi

[@DerTobiist]

So i tried now with your trick and it works fine. The Memory Frequenz is still the Same as Original just the CPU is Faster thats great. So forget about "SETFSB" this is the was to go. Thanks and greetings Tobi

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI sogndal94 Yes all the good 5300's are already 1333 MHz FSB, and I´d expect trying this on a,,, maybe E5320 that has a FSB on 1066MHz,, would, if it works, just get you up to an E5345-ish. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@jb678901]

Can you do a VID mod on the Q6700 in addition to the BSEL mod? Maybe the voltage drop with the BSEL mod is insufficient to operate the q6700. Note, the Q6700 is a 10x multiplier...so if you were to go to 1333Mhz that chip would go to 3.3 Ghz! Too bad if this is not possible. I can get my Q6700 to 2.83 Ghz using SoftFSB on a Dell XPS 420. However, I can get to 3.1Ghz with the BSEL mod plus SoftFSB with the venerable Q6600. Of course, new thermal paste is a must. Also, I bought the XPS 720 cooler and modded the XPS420 shroud to accommodate the third extra cooling loop of the XPS 720. (bought the fan, cooler, shroud of the XPS 720 for $10 on ebay!!!). Fun stuff with a a PC I've owned since 2008. Always monitor the temps and I keep the internal clean from dust every 6 months or so. Use two vacuum cleaners. One reversed to blow air and the other running to suck the dusty air as it is agitated away by the reversed vacuum cleaner.

LordHezi It won't work since its 1.33ghz already like he said. :( q8200 owner here. Though nowadays it's in my secondary machine and it has an asus mobo so I could clock it to 2.9-3ghz (can't remember). 1620mhz fsb seems to be my limit since even 1621mhz will not boot.

[@LordHezi]

Thanks for the reply :/
