*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[scottc19]

I am now playing around with my q6600 that I got from canada off ebay! L737B011 It has a vid thats 1.325, but I have had pretty good results so far (have just done a little testing-will be doing more for the next week)
Right now its priming at 3.8ghz 60C load, I might be able to even drop volts a little bit. Currently at 1.56v Anyway what is the max volts for these according to the intel spec sheet, or personal experience?

An interesting thing that I found, was that when I was using p30 bios with 680i temps read about 10C higher, but now with p32 bios temps are reading 10C lower...which is a good thing I am going to double check this as before I was using vista and now am on xp...

I was not able to boot up past about 3.7 without decreasing the multiplier, which I assume shows a fsb in the 680i... no suprize there

EDIT: update-not prime stable yet, 1 core failed rounding after 15min
