No problem.... 3.9GHz

Sweet!

1.528V!! Running er into the red zone too I see....

LOL! You were my guinea pig. Thanks for injecting some courage into a chicken. I've never been extreme but I'm working on it!

WFO, I just found this info in the Intel section of the board. It is an OC Q6600 voltage chart! I guess me having to run a 1.55v core setting in the BIOS to get 3.9GHz, isn't as dangerous or uncommon as I origionally had thought....

I now think I can set my CPU core voltage higher than 1.555v's in the BIOS, and expect my CPU should be able to brunt it fine! Especially on water...

In case you guys havent figured it out yet, I'm a charts and listings guy!!

Raw data is my :banana::banana::banana::banana:!

I remember a thread from about 8 months ago asking who was running 1.5 or over for 24/7. There were a good 3 pages of responses. Most here don't seem to care if they only get 6 months out of a cpu because something better will be released that they will buy. I should probably adopt that philosophy. For some reason my mindset has been that I need 2 years out of the procs in my folding farm but I've been upgrading about every 8 months. Too, my clocks have always been temp limited as average temps are 88-93F in the summer. I think this rig has the cooling for 3.8 in the summer. Yesterday I did some tinkering with 1.575 vcore in the bios. I'll probably keep looking for a bench stable 4.0 as I want to improve my 3DMark '06 and 32M Super Pi scores.
