*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

i would change out your mobo...if your processor is a "G0", it is most likely the mobo that is holding you back.

That is not necessarily true. My first 2 L723A's wouldn't do 3.2 stable. Only 2 out of the 5 i've had were good clockers. And still those 2 aren't as nice as yours. I tried chips on 680i and P5K Premium.

I'm thinking of ordering a couple more tuesday. Anybody know if newegg is still shipping B3's? I'd think they would be out by now.

EDIT The egg is still shipping some B3's according to comments. Just ordered a L726A from Tankguys.

i was under the impression that quad cores had a difficult time even getting close to 3600 mhz on the EVGA...i think it is more to do with the architecture of the board...and...each board of the same make has its own individual characteristics as to giving you good success with overclocking.
