So it's pointless at this stage whether his G0 Q6600 is prime stable or not.


I can clearly tell by the way his screenshot was captured is that he's seeking for the max possible "bench-stable" OC'ed settings at this stage.

I know this thread is meant for Q6600 G0 Overclock-ability on air but don't missed that his nicely done 3.9ghz clock is on high-end water.

I wonder what's his temp are like at this OC stage on water and what could be the max OC-able speed with water cooling a G0 Q6600. It would be nice to compare whether hundreds of dollars invested in a watercooling is worth taking up the OC up to the next high level from proven 3.7ghz+ on air configuration. (Saying this becouse I'm thinking about watercooling, but short on fund )
