So while you can recover the data, it just gets written over when you start using it?
Yes! It is not that easy to recover data without some means and intent of doing it. Once data has been rewritten it becomes virtually impossible to recover.

Cool, I understand now.
Imran, those Q6400s are B3 stepping. Horrible for OCing compared to the G0s.

i know but those Q6400s were Engineering Samples that the store was trying to sell....the Q6300/Q6400 were never released.....officially...

Ok, thanks! It was the processor that confused me for a moment. I didn't recall suggesting anything about budget Quad cores.;D

yea
355 x 10 = 3550mhz stable!!!!!!!!!!!
wooohoooo
3.55ghz is very very good for me (never had a conroe / kentsfield even boot up at 3.55ghz let alone be stable at that speed!) this is with 1.50v.
(CPU-Z shows 1.408v so this is safe, right?)
Is 1.50v a bad voltage for 24/7 usage with a CNPS 9700 LED cooler???
thanks,

Only if the temperatures are bad, and you can always adjust things to a lower setting and play with the vcore along the way. If the temperatures are ok and you are running stable then that's about it.

would you guys rather have 377.82(1511mhz fsb) x 9 = 3400mhz
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=388438
OR
350(1400mhz fsb) x 10 = 3500mhz
does the FSB speed affect the computer's overall performance that much?
i think the first one (1511mhz fsb and 3400mhz cpu speed) is better....right???
thanks,

1.5V is a bit on the high side for a CNPS9700, but you might get away with it depending on which CPU you're using. If it's a quad, I'd back it down a bit, you might be alright with a dual core though, depending on how hot the CPU's getting.
What sort of performance are we expecting from Nehalem? It's been touted as a core 2 duo breaker for ages, but I've heard very little officially that I understand...

Spammer92,
I think you want a combination of a high multi and running your RAM at rated speeds or a bit of an OC if you can. If you can run at your highest multi with a GOOD OC and stay stable why wouldn't you do that?? It seems less stress on the FSB is a more wanted thing for the sake of heat and unwanted extra stress. JM2C on it... :D
I've had more issues running the FSB at a "significant" OC than the RAM or cpu itself. I'm very new to OC'ing so I may be a little off here but I expect Sophy or Morty to correct me or at minimum add to what I've said. ;)
.....gm
OH forgot.. Sammy touched on it. ;)
A vcore of 1.45v-1.48v should get you all you need for a GOOD OC!! It is a little scary to run a machine at 1.5v on air 24/7 depending on temps of course. You're at 3.5GHz right now right?? That's dang good for that processor and the voltage you're pushing thru it. :) /me is jealous... btw I'm waiting on some cheapy RAM to get here to make sure I'm not having RAM issues... Well at least NOT getting along with the Striker Extreme. It still makes NO sense why it would do what it's doing... lol. :O

My understanding was that even if you had low temps if the voltage was high enough it would still cause electromigration...
Sam, with early previews and on not totally complete motherboards the Nehalem quads gave an astounding 80% performance gain over the Penryn Quads. Anyway it's on anandtech.com check it out.

Electromigration will eventually occur in any CPU even if it's not overclocked and overvolted. Increased voltages will speed that up but how fast it is sped up depends a lot on temperatures. Heat will accelerate the process.
Here is a link to the specifications for the Q6700 and you will note that the voltage range for it is 0.85v to 1.5v. He is now running his CPU at the top range of voltage for that processor. I would only maintain those types of voltages if the processor was running cool.

syr, thx for the reminder
honest mistake on my part...
-im1992
@everyone else,
is it ~9hr stable at 100% at 3.4ghz with 1.46v and temps never going over 63C on any one core...i will try to lower the voltage later but .04v for "just" a 100mhz is too much in my opinion...

doing some testing here. i set everything back to default settings. cleared cmos and have it (cpu) running at stock speed 3.0ghz. my temps are the same as when at 3.6ghz. shouldnt it or wouldnt it be lower?
but the vcore is set at auto also the same at 3.6 as at 3.0 so that wouldnt cause the temps to go up any. ??? so i guess maybe i just answered my own question makeing this a silly post.

and why would you go back to stock??? from a nice 3.6ghz?!?!?!

was having a problem with my 3.0GHz OC. i even put it on stock at 1.6GHz (e2140) and IDLE temps were 41/43 and load hittign over 85 and shutting off. atstock :O
i then talked to my brother (12 years old) who was trying to clock it with the same problems as me (hes i little young, no? esp for Ocing) he told me he wanted to see if it would be better for the articcooler freezer 7 pro (F7P) to point so it blew up, and couldnt find TP so put it back as it was (me angry at him and he has a bruise now LOL)
so i ordered some OCZ freeze. (i was using AS5 which on normal days before the reseating was getting 35 IDLE and about 70 load at 3GHZ and 1.35Vs)
i then took of the AS5 and put on the OCZ freeze, and stuck it straight to 3.0GHz at 1.4v with the RAM (pc6400 800MHz) at 2.2 with 555 15 at 999MHz, no sweat. i got OCCT for 1 hour no problems. and i am now idleing 31 and max load i have seen is 59.
OCZ freeze is amazing, and now i can recomend it over the others, and doesnt need any curing time, like AS5 and isnt conductive.
so:
AS5 at 1.35v idle 35C load 70C
OCZ freeze 1.4v idle 31 load 59
brilliant
imma push it more now and push the ram. i cant belive it got to 1000, imma try for 1100 now.

Doesn't sound right to me, I've not seen gains of more than a few degrees with other thermal compounds, it might not have been applied correctly - additionally I have only ever noticed differences of 1-2C from curing time with AS5...
Good to see there are more realistic choices for thermal compound now though - had I not got a tube and a half of AS5 still left, I'd get some! :)
