*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

Pretty lame my temps are the same whether I OC or not.

Hmm that's definitely not right and you do seem to be running very hot in general. With nearly the best air cooler on the market too. Have you tried re-seating the HSF? What TIM are you using?

My setup not the greatest cooling-wise (small mid tower and a Zalman 9700 LED and I have high ambient temps in my apartment) though I idle at 38 at stock, 45 when overclocked to 3.6 with 1.43v. All 4 cores loaded 100% at 3.0Ghz w stock voltage hits a max of 50C.

And I am fairly certain you can't RMA it through Intel in this situation. A replacement from the vendor not an option?
