*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[atlr]

I have a 1.30 VID Q6600 G0 too. I suspect this VID is your limiting factor.

I have been unable to get a stable run of Prime over 3 GHz with Vcores less than 1.4v. The heat generated with Vcore of 1.4v or more means running the fans faster and I choose to run at 3 GHz for less fan noise.

My 3GHz setup idles at 31 C and reaches 60 C with Prime95 using a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 heatsink.

Vcore droops almost 0.1 v at load on my IP35 Pro v1.1.

How do you guys run soo cool? Im hitting 72ºC on cores 1+2, and 65ºC on cores 3+4, and im running a lapped TRUE on my lapped Q6600 after a few hours of prime on small fft's

Is it just due to my 1.300 VID and 1.448 Vcore to get it stable? I idle at 32ºC on the two higher cores.
