Is the Q6600 still good today?

[@zackanderson2298]

you use a control for csgo...i loved the video..but that is an automatic dislike!

[@Alex-oz9eh]

Slim lol

[@jamesd3355]

steam controller for cs wtf thats why his rank was s1

[@YogertPC]

but...but... i'm lem

[@dondonian5364]

get a big mousepad like steelseries QcK heavy, and a nice mouse like zowie ec2a, set ur dpi to 400 and become good

[@smokyofstormwind420]

gamepads in an FPS game is just pure AIDS, who can possibly play like that? it's one of many reasons gaming consoles never appealed to me, sure gamepads work just fine for driving games and other titles, but they are not designed for fine aiming that is required in any shooter.

[@TheSteelCrown]

Q6600 is love. Q6600 is life

[@slav3163]

Nah, Xeon e5440 is life. 3.8 GHz @ ~1.25 Vcore. Didn't wanna push it further (I had plenty of voltage headroom left - 1.3625 is the max I think) because of my ram (1 stick isn't really meant for overclocking). I am planning on pushing it past 4 GHz after I get better ram sticks.

[@TheSteelCrown]

My X48 board hates your cpu :))

[@TheSteelCrown]

What thermal paste and cooler do you use?

[@nolanmellas1588]

oh ya i still use a q6600 with windows 10 and play games with my 1050 at mid to high settings

[@TheSteelCrown]

What overclock? I want to go higher than my current 3.0 ghz.

[@attilasagi8157]

[@happycat0411]

The Q6600 is still a decent CPU if you aren't a gamer. With an 8MB cache and quad core and using the simple tape mode the LGA775 Q6600 can still easily handle its own in this day and age.

Slapped a Q9550 in an old Dell Vostro with a rx 460. Just sold it to a buddy and he loves playing iracing is mostly high settings. Lots of these old CPU are still plenty capable honestly.

[@chomper720]

I love Q6600 builds!

[@RFLCPTR]

Chris Ayres why Not a better cooler?

[@RFLCPTR]

Chris Ayres had a q6700 running at max.80 C with no problem

[@Shaker4x4]

I had some parts to slap a PC together that were mostly from an old tower I built. All I needed was a S775 motherboard, and new optical drive. I picked up a P5Q3, P45, DDR3 x 4 motherboard. Because I run 2 x SATA 2 WD 1TB Enterprise storage drives in RAID0, the ICH10 Southbridge should do nicely. Processor is a Q9650 with Noctua NH-U14S heatsink including Noctua's S775 bracket kit I had to send away for. RAM is G-Skill 1600Mhz DDR3. I hope to get a comfortable cruising overclock of 4Ghz, this will stretch the last obsolete life out of it, and if it were a good ol' Q6600, I still would have gone ahead with it due to viability. I still run Win7 to this day, and will never go beyond that unless MS behaves themselves instead of playing data gods, and churning out OSes that savvy PC owners don't want. I've known others with Q6600 CPUs, and they have all been happy with their OC'ed performance. Whilst 65, and 45nm CPUs had ceiling limitations in overclocking, chewed more power, and generated a little more difficult to manage heat than modern CPUs. They were however quite reliable. Many of these CPUs becoming land fill before they croaked it, and now there is few S775 worthy motherboards out there except Chinese refurbished (yeah right...) I still love my Q9650, I have not OC'd it till now, and hope it will kick for a few years more at full throttle with this new Noctua.

[@Gamers-em1ze]

lmao that middle finger at 4:42

[@oliverhilton6086]

Intel Q6600 is my favourite anime

[@AnshulBains]

for the video I would like to mention that your humor is amusing and it is quite unique.

[@zebular]

Still worth it? Yes but as you can see in my videos buying a cheap used Q9650 for $50 off of eBay has much more room for overclocking. Using a Q9650 at 3.97ghz as my daily driver/game PC game machine.

[@LovelyAlanna]

Coming from somebody using a Core 2 Quad Q6700 I can tell you, it's still worth it

[@DesertRaven365]

I'm still using my Dell XPS 420 (2007) with the Q6600 - I came across the "Ninja Hack" the other day whereby you put some insulating tape over a couple of the CPU pins (plus disable Speedstep in the Dell BIOS), this boosts it from stock 2.4Ghz to 3.0Ghz.

[@aperson9375]

Really enjoyed the video.... Yeah the quad bought in 2010 year are still working on my desk and at its full speed. 😀

[@troy8736]

I've been gaming with my Q6600 and GTX 780 for several years now on an ABIT Fatality board...Great memories..!

[@sku11wish]

Lol that skit was funny. Nice video.

[@KrozMcD]

Still using mine in 2019! 12 years old now, and overclocked to 3.6Ghz. It's starting to struggle with modern games now, so I'm going to have to upgrade soon. I'm going to keep hold of it for the rest of my days though!

[@Vadu1337]

that part with the q6600 time traveling was a really reallyy smart idea :D

[@cybercapri]

Something to consider for the Q6600 is the BSEL Tape Mod... I used this on my Dell XPS 720 and my Q6600 is running @2.999 all day long at very cool temps. The XPS 720 has a massive cooling fan unlike other Dell's or PC's in general and is designed for OC'ing... The BSEL Mod is easy to do and lasts for a very long time. There are many videos on this Mod... Cheers...

[@KARAOTI23]

Had it for 7 years with the stock cooler. Never overclocked it. While gaming in summer I could see up to 78 degrees celcius. Needless to say that my room was like sauna when air condition was off. Changed three boards due to overvoltage by lightning, but my q6600 just kept going. Sold it a year ago for 30euros. Memories...

[@megamanxtreme2]

Superb. Brava! Nice CPU, after that OC.

[@ubi1tubie]

I'm happy to see there's still life left in these old q6600/q6700 workhorse cpus. Alas they are showing their age. But still fun to play with. In late 2009 I'd had a great q6600 O/C 3 ghz gaming rig. Antec Mid-tower black Case, 750 watt Enermex PS, Quiet fans, 8 GB 800 DDR2 RAM,Asus motherboard (can't remember model but it was crossfire capable) 2x500 GB Seagate Barrcuda HD's Raid 0 (SSD's were not an option at the time), DVDRW, Build in audio, 2x ATI/AMD 4870 video cards in crossfire mode, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. It was top of the line gaming rig for it's time. Had I kept it, I would love to upgrade to 2x SSD's, add a USB 3.0 PCI-E 1x expansion card, upgrade 2x video cards in crossfire mode, Install windows 10 pro 64 bit. Then see how it stacks up to the newest.

[@tcrolius]

That intro hooked me. Great vid!

[@daniellee6912]

NECRONEZUM dude, get just more 4gb of ram and you'll get way better performance

[@eli7693]

these skits are amazing

[@davidjohnson8122]

The best part about the LGA 775 socket is that the q6600 isn't the fastest quad core it can take, since you can go up to the even faster 3.33 GHz x5470, then overclock the xeon x5470 to 4 GHz on air cooling!!! The x5470 can even match the newer i5-2500 for a fraction of the price that the 2500 goes for, absolutely legendary performance is possible with lga 775!!!

[@zachmieszala852]

haha, i've got an old Core 2 Duo system lying around, and i've been thinking about upgrading to the q6600 and overclocking to see if i can still have some dumb cheap fun with my old PC. i might just have to do it, expecially if i can get lucky and get stable 3.5 ghz OClike yours. very cool video. (love the intro)

[@fohdeesha]

well done. if you remember tominabox1 from our cs server, I recently set him up with a cheap virtualization platform so he could learn xenserver. he bought a dell 755 on eBay for $20, complete system. then dropped a q6600 in it for another $15. its working great and he's running a few windows 7 vm's, a bunch of Linux vm's, and pfsense. avg CPU use is only ~15%, it could easily run quite a few more vm's. not a bad platform for cheap home use if you can't afford a full on r610/r710 or similar, $35 for a full virtualization server with power draw that isn't that bad

[@sairampv1]

Amazing skit

[@sburton015]

Apparently, the Core 2 Quad was new back in the early days when Windows Vista was the latest and the greatest operating system, however in my budget gaming build, I have an AMD fx-6300 which apparently was released much later when Windows 8 came out in 2012.

[@gtastuntcrew302]

LOL dude I LOVE the skits xDDDDDDDDD I loled so hard xDDDDD

Thanks for the video, just what I was after

[@blind1337nedm]

LOLOL THATS THE MOBO I HAVE!! its a great overclocker tbh

[@Lapocabo]

#Superb video dear, initial rig Core i7 4790K 4.7GHz/ GTX 1060 secundary rig Q9550 4.0GHz/ GTX 1050Ti and Core2 duo E8600 4.2GHz/ GTX 760 i'm still surprised how they perform very well regarding to my initial rig in 2017 i'm still loving and using old school rig for how they handle heavy task in général :)

[@trajanaugustus8783]

I have the same Q6600 G0 stepping great OC'er. Ran it for 6 years no problems. For the fun of it I picked up a Q9550 E0 stepping ($25.00) and swapped it with the Q6600 that was OC'd to 2.8ghz. The stock Q9550 still beat the oc'd Q6600 by 10-25% which kind of suprised me. The only thing that bothers me with the Q9550 is it runs a bit hotter than the older Q6600. I use the same ASUS P5Q MB/ P45 chipset and H50 Corsair WC. Weird...

[@trajanaugustus8783]

It is a P5Q no L or pro. I am starting to think my temp sensors on the MB may be out of wack as I have OC'd the Q9550 and the temps only went up 1 or 2 C. Core zero is always at 38C, never drops. Core 1-3 stay around 29-33C. The CPU overall temp is anywhere from 19C-33C so I guess it is pretty good.

[@lmcgregoruk]

I'm still using a Q6600 from a PC I got in 2009, upgraded the 1GB HD 4870 to a 2GB HD 7870 and added a 2nd internal hard drive. Works with every game I've tried so far, including ones it doesn't meet the minimum specifications for. The only game I had a problem with was RE 7 and the demo, but they both got patched, Apparently Quantum Break needs SSE4.2 support though, so I guess that wouldn't work. Same P5Q motherboard too, no pro, no L, no deluxe, JUST P5Q. The Q6600 is currently overclocked to 3.0GHZ on air.

[@sgdude1337]

I had one until 2013, it served me well for 6 years. I've had an Ivy Bridge i5 for the past 5 years, and I think this chip will last me even longer than the Q6600 did. It's still a huge upgrade if you have a lga775 pc with a dual core, but if you're building something from scratch, Ivy Bridge i5 CPUs like mine can be found for around $40, and will smoke the Q6600.

[@deathbydeviceable]

I had mine at 4.19 ghz. It ran well and served its time

[@happycat0411]

I still use the Q6600 processor today. I'm not a gamer and with the big cache I'm more than happy with the performance, even at stock 2.4 Ghz speeds. Paired with an old ATI 4830 that came with the computer, the Gateway with the Q6600 and 8GB of Ddr2 (that came with the computer) still happily chugs along without a hiccup. Computer was only $20.00 and just needed a cpu upgrade from an E2160.

[@AnshulBains]

I wonder will we ever kiss good bye to this age old chip and burry the "is this still better videos" along with it.

[@happycat0411]

The Q6600 is still quite capable for 90% of what people do on a computer and can usually be bought now for around $8.00. The 8 MB cache is huge and with a simple tape hack the Q6600 can easily run at very respectable 3.0 Ghz with no overclocking at all. Still an extremely great chip for everyday use even in 2019.

[@itsneight1260]

Great video... Love the story method and your rendering looks great! I found your channel when you did the color modification on your GTX 970 and instantly subscribed to your channel. I'm getting ready to try the same thing on my MSI Gaming X GTX 1060. Wish me luck... I might need some help/advice on the dremmeling part. I also have two different LGA 775 builds and have found about the same results with my Q6600 (albeit using the 1060). Just wanted to quickly mention that if you're looking to water cool an LGA 775 build finding one of the AIO's that has compatible mounting hardware its not easy to find. I purchased a Silverstone TD-02 lite for my build(s) and it has worked great. Also - I'm gonna be doing a video soon comparing some LGA 775 core2 quads (Q6600, Q8400, Q9550) against Xeon LGA771 chips (x5450, x5460, x5470). The mod was REALLY easy to do. Definitely keep an eye out for those. Plan on also doing a Xeon swap LGA 1366 build in the future which I'm currently gathering parts for.

[@Alex-oz9eh]

isn't sata 3gb/s sata 2?

[@Bassjunkie_1]

Hey, In my core 2 duo/quad years i had many 775 mobos, the best overclocker i found for me was the Abit ip35-e.. I got the pro version of it to find out it was crap compared to the ip35-e in overclocking so i got another one. i did kill the bios of the first abit tho haha. Right now i have a DFI lanparty x48 mobo rocking my old q6600 which is used by my step sun to game on and it works well. Other than Abit, DFI was a great lga 775 manufacture that i'd recommend for this era

[@mechpanos]

proof of how much CPU technology has slowed down. If you go 10 years before that you are talking original pentium 200mhz. Good luck even booting windows on that.

[@Piterixos]

Exactly I think it has a lot of to do with AMD being pretty much out of the CPu game for the last 6 years or so, I;m so glad it;s chaning now. Just look what intel tried to pass out as a CPu recently - an intel i3-7350k a 2 core 4 thread CPU at the same price as AMD ryzen 5 1600. This is insane. If not for a fact AMD wasn;t a real competition for intel for such a long period of time we would be all running 8 core or better CPUs by now

[@3ManFunny]

imagine after 10 years Is the i7-7700k still good today? or ryzen 5 1800x haha

Yeah, Sandy Bridge was a huge step for Intel and AMD couldn't deliver proper competition in the upper market segment with the FX chips.

I recently assembled a computer about a week ago with this processor, 4gb ram, 480 watt power supply, MSI GeForce nx8600nt graphics card, Gigabyte board, HDD 1tb and I think it's still a good processor in 2023, maybe it's not suitable for new games (for sure), but you can run Minecraft or GTA San Andreas on it, also GTA 5 in total

[@billj5645]

The chip is easy to overclock but produces a lot of heat. I'm still running a simialr Q9400 which is also easy to overclock but doesn't make quite as much heat. Mine runs fine at 3.8GHz. At 3.8GHz I think it is getting closer to the processors recommended today for budget builds. A problem for today is that those old motherboards don't usually support much RAM and old RAM like that can be hard to find. Not having USB3 is a problem, running an old spinning hard drive is a big problem.

[@chuck2501]

you can still oc this chip without an OC board with the BClk mod. You can cover a pad with tape this will make the mobo run the bus at 1333 and the q6600 runs at 3ghz. I've done this on a Acer AIO!

[@RCjesus.David.2581]

[@theshadowman1398]

I just popped in this chip in my Dell Optiplex 755 which had a pentium dual core chip in it before, since I am using it for older games only ( flight simulator 2004 mainly ) that thing really is flying.

[@new-knowledge8040]

Using my cheap Zotac GT710 and my Q9500 quad CPU, I get the following Cinebench R15 results. OpenGL = 38.16 fps. CPU = 324 cb. I overclock the Q9500 to 3052.4MHz. That is as far as I could safely go since it is not designed for overclocking. Plus I added 400MHz OC to the GPU, and 300MHz OC to graphics card memory clock.

I got a Q9650 since then. Q6600? Still :-P !

[@rdln4313]

would you consider doing further generations of the Core 2 Quad ? q6600 is the oldest, and maybe not the best ! what do you think ?

[@itsneight1260]

I will donate a Q8400 if he wants to do it.

[@juanmassiosare9850]

Q6600 at 3.3-3.4Ghz = Q9650/Xeon E5450 at 3.0Ghz

[@juanmassiosare9850]

Nathan Elmore give me that Q8400, pls :D

[@rdln4313]

Juan Massiosare are you telling me I just bought a damn fucking slightly better q6600 for 40 dollars ? (X5460)

[@itsneight1260]

I'm not sure about a E5450 but my Q6600 machine OC'd at 3.6Ghz is not even close to as fast as my X5460 at stock speeds much less OC'd to 4.0Ghz. The Xeon 5460 is MUCH faster.

[@Isaax]

Is this just me, or... *does this dude look like Quicksilver from the X-Men movies?*

[@NightBloops]

i have a Q6600! still works for me.

[@TONMOYINDRANI]

q6600 vs q9400 konsa best he .....?

[@TechFurb]

the legendary 775 socket any of the 3x or 4X series could overclock I had a ga-g31m-s2l that overclocked like a boss

[@KFC66]

I am running a q6600 out of a desktop optiplex 755 with a gtx750ti. It runs exceptionally well for such a frankenstein setup. The dell is only sized for half height cards but I modded the side panel. I got my gtx 1050ti in the mail😁. I imagine I will start to bottleneck with this setup but asides from that I believe the 750ti and the q6600 are a very great value pair. My total build cost was less than $130, DDR2 and the card was a big chunk of that.

[@SaucyBegger25]

i replaced both of my q6600 chips in my 2 towers with the q9550 chips. major difference in performance. still have them in a box. they were good though

“I’m just gonna lay the block the on the CPU” and just like that I couldn’t take this video seriously.

[@YogertPC]

Emanuel Isakov That was the thing that made you not take the video seriously?

[@Wynaut22]

my setup 40-50 avg FPS Overatch on HIGH (no AA) [no overclocking] q6600(stock) + rx 460 2gb + 6gb ddr2

I have Q6600 too with AMD 5770 on crossfire and runs all modern games on high without problems. :) Emazing cpu for that age of cpu. :) It has more power than i3 second generation or pentium on skylake. :) Emazing cpu for 10 dolars in my country. :)

[@WilliamMcCarthyIII]

Awesome video. Subscribed!

[@gardenofnightmare]

the q6600 is a fucking beast for the price, unfortunately sse 4.1 support doesnt allow me to play some games but i bet my ass it could run them on 25-30 fps at least!

[@kamalashraf4846]

I like the voices😆

[@saysbadman]

I bought a dell optiplex that doesn't natively support oc, but i have a q6600 coming and i plan to use the bsel method to overclock. I bought the dell for $20 and the cpu for $14. I plan on using it for emulation.

[@TiberiusWallace]

This is why you want P41, you get access to DDR3 RAM.
