hey guys!!! i finally did it!
ive been trying of and on for 4.0 for the last couple years, then with my E6600,and a month ago, did a small upgrade to Q6600 (G0), hoping and trying for 4.0 (untill now, i could only get 3.9), so you could say this was a personal battle, and almost obsession, as evry time id try, play with the OC for an hour or two, id always end up frustrated.. swearing id buy whatever i needed, (new MB, different ram), or whatever i thought i needed....but never did. just kept trying now and again, fiddling with settings....THEN...
i finally did it! i broke 4.0 GHZ on my Q6600!!!! man, ive been trying for 2 years to hit the 4.0 ghz mark, and i just figured what the hell, ill try one more time right now......
i was suprised to see the bios post, then the boot into windows!!!! and here i am, posting this at over 4.0!
now, of course were not talking stability yet.... as i just booted in 3 minutes ago and took the screenies..... but im here, aint i?
heres a quick screenie.....and now im gonna celebrate with a left handed cigarette.....
and BTW, check out them temps, not too shabby, eh? i think ill relish the moment for a while, go fly my TREX 500E a bit, then come back and push er a bit further, ads im running vcore of 1.5, ill see if i can get the FSB up a bit higher, then bump up the voltage and go for 4.2......MuWAhaHaHaaa!!!!!
and........ here she is.
