*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[andressergio]

Hey guys I received the Q6600 2 days ago, the G0 L723A wich was promising and recomended here also...it's VID= 1,2875..but...

The ambient temp was 25-26C
Crucials left near stock i mean near 1066 5-5-5-15 at 2,2 to asure to test the CPU only.

Boot at 3420Mhz (380x9) vith vcore 1,35 but prime95 fails, so i have to go for 1,4 for Prime95 to stabilize, 30 mins at Smallfft's, and Largefft's also. I have pretty high temps when Prime95 is runing i mean 69 the cores and 52 CPU...

I tried going up to 3600 (400x9) and boots perfect on 1,4Vcore, but Prime95 fails in seconds...So i tried more Vcore and it also failed til 1,5 Vcore wich is kinda sad...temps are very high i mean 74 the Cores and 60 the CPU...

I have an Asus P5K dlx bios 311 and TT Big typhoon with AS5 no lapped...
Wich settings are you using guys on ASUS P5K dlx for example to go to 3,6ghz ? With version of Prime95 you use (i used 25,5) and wich test or settings on it, i never used Prime95, just orthos....

It's kinda weird that prime95 fails cause in other CPU i had the lack of vcore always was showed by reboots, etc, but this time i mean at 3,6 and 1,425vcore y can play strangehold on vista, bioshok, lost planet etc...
It can be a temp issue ? should i consider lapping ? or i just got a bad batch...

Any help will be appreciatted
Best regards
