Took my Q6600 to new heights!

Okay, well where do i start..i guess first off you guys are probably gonna hate me for not making sure its prime stable, but i wasn't worried. i was just overclocking for fun. and that's what its all about right?

anyways i'm in love with windows 7 for its overclock friendly-ness. on vista i had a hard time booting 3.9ghz with 1.57v. with w7 i could do 3.9ghz with 1.49v!

long story short my main goal of the night was to get it to the coldest temperatures i could, and see if i could manage to beat the octo core system in the CPU queen test for everest. lets let the pictures speak for themselves.









By the way, this RAM was only 35$ when i bought it new...my mushkin kicked the bucket.

those were the temps for at idle. the CPU jumped up to about 20C on all cores at load. still, it was really nice.

crap i just remembered i never saved a cpuz validation file....at that clock do you think its worth going into the database?

i guess i should mention i maxed out @ 4236mhz, and didnt weild any higher of a score for everest which made me sad. i was so close to getting it.
i was using 1.6v in bios with 102% addition. it was right there!!!

theres always next time i suppose..
