*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[sesdave]

2 Days ago i decided to "refurbish my PC" so i bought an Q6600, funny part was it's G0 (5) revision and from 19.1.2008 factory date. Put it on 333 FSB so its 3.00 GHz now and im happy with that but i pu GeminiII with Noctia P12 on it [ one] and the temps are 34 - 38 idle and load 51 - 53. Isn't that too high with 1.15 V ?

Would have thought it would be lower with your settings at idle. I get 33-35c. Check the HS seating - what paste u using and how thick was it put on. Try a non conductive like Mx-2 or equivalant and apply nice and thin. Also check the CPU - IHS and your HS with a razor to see if they are flat - if not consider lapping whatevers not flat.
