Just experimenting on how much i can overclock my q6600
Finaly managed to get it to 3.0ghz on air cooling with unload temps staying around 29-32c
which I think is quite low. using artic pro freezer 7 cooler.
Setting ive used are:
fsb = 1335
unlinked to memory ( left memory unoverclocked 800mhz)
vcore - 1.455v
nb core - 1.55v
cpu vt - 1.45v
memory - 2.1v
using striker extreme as my mobo.
want to get the overclock to 3.2ghz but cant do it so far.
anybody else overclocked the q6600 in the same way on air?
thx.

huh WHAT, im doing 3ghz (16 hours p95 stable) on ~<1.2V o.O, at that voltage I can run 3.6Ghz stable
edit: Is it a b3 stepping by any chance? I have a g0.
just flashed bios to 1303 apparently its the best version for overclocking.
thats why I try and avoid buying first revisions of hardware
would help if i could but it seems like it'll be a struggle pushing that thing too far, I kinda advise keeping it below 1.5v :\
could maybe try different combinations of multipliers and FSB, eg, 400x8 (I'm guessing you have 333x9 at the moment)
the multiplyer is on 9. but how do u find out the 333 and 400 etc?
is that the bus speed?
and do i alter it in the same place in the bios?
with your current set up for example, I'm guessing that you are running ram at 400FSB (ddr2-800) and CPU at 333FSB... well... I really struggle at explaining this stuff in writing :|
and maybe try 400@8 ?
make sure that intel auto-multiplier-changing-thing isnt fucking around and trying to set it to 9, not exactly sure what the name of it is right now
anyhoo, off for now, good luck
cpuz results ;s
:E
bios version 1303 makes all the difference, think i could get it to 3.6 cos the cpu temp is still around 35 unload.
i get 20-22 unload and it can get to above 45 on some encoding or compiling
have you stress tested it to make sure your overclock is stable?
with memory on 900 Mhz (5-5-5-15)
voltages:
VFSB 1.5V
VCPU 1.55V
PLL 1.6V
NB 1.5V
VFSB 1.5V
DRAM 2.2V
another multipliers:
7x450=3150, 8x450=3600, 9x450=4050 (4050 will be hard w/o really good batch and pimped vent prolly same for 3600 but you can try)

ps: btw are you running that 24/7 and did you test it already with Orthos or Prime95?
