*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

Yes call Frys. Though I re-read your above post more closely (I'm at work) and considering it maxed above the spec at stock voltage maybe you would have some recourse with Intel. All I know for sure is any kind of problem when operating above spec voltage and clock speed obviously isn't warrantied in any way.

Have you used any other cpu with this setup?

As for a new thread I guess Intel Info and Support would be most appropriate.

Should be getting my new motherboard tomorrow. Abit IX38 Quad-GT. Right now i have a Q6600 G0 on a CFX3200 T2R. Max i can achieve on it is 3Ghz, and that is with 1.25v. 2.4ghz is done with 1.05v. Board either gives up above that, or drops the multi to 6x.

L738B229
VID = 1.275v

USing a basic waterloop, so temperatures won't be great. Going to modify it a bit when i get the new board in. Also i state above i need those voltages set in the bios to get it stable. Not sure wether cpuz is completely wrong or not, but check out the voltage it reads from idle to load:

Idle:


Load:


Anyway. That is as far as i can go right now. But hopefully tomorrow i will have some better results. I am aiming for 3.6ghz. Anyone else got some results for the L738B processors yet? Only seen a couple.
