*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

I have active cooling, the antec spotcool fan, pushing air over the northbridge and ram. It works, at least I hope so. Some air is better than no air!

I will try to crank up the NB a little....

Geez, I'm such a n00b.

Edit:

I upped the NB to 1.7 from 1.55 v. I had no other options to up it to 1.6 or even 1.65. I don't like maxing out the NB chipset voltage wise.

I also loosened up the ram timings as well and set the FSB to 420x9. Ran maybe 1 or 2 test in prime95 and one thread failed.

I can't lower the voltage from 1.5000 for the CPU. 3.7 ghz won't stay stable.

Right now, I'm @ 412x9 (3708mhz) with my original settings and it just failed a prime95 again.

I'm honestly clueless as to why I can't go past 411x9. Maybe I just maxed out my G0?
