*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[Andrew LB]

Well.... last week I put together my first quad Q6600 G0 setup and am quite disappointed with the results thus far. I cannot get the chip above 2.92ghz on my Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard. When i'd put the FSB to 1333.3 and ram to 800 it would boot almost to the desktop but would crash at the password sign in screen. With my previous E6600 chip, I was able to hit 3.6ghzwith a 1600mhz FSB and 800mhz ram.

(the room is pretty warm right now)



Here are my settings. Perhaps I forgot a setting to get my chip higher.
