i have a Q6600 that could with stand P95 at 3.8 ghz but the vcore had to be around 1.52-1.54v...i took that cpu up to 4.2 ghz for a suicide run...i really had to jam the voltage up its arse...i could bench at 4ghz but the vcore would have been to high for my own satisfaction even though i do not run my puter 24/7.
Umm yeah, weren't you running your Q6600@1.58 vcore
