I have my q6600 ROCK SOLID STABLE at 3.6, 1.33v no vdroop control. I have run OCCT for hours on end and have spent several hundred hours encoding video with it like that. P95 has run over night like this with no problem. I also have C1E enabled so it drops to a 6x multiplier when not under load. I have some water cooling (nothing too special) and I run in the mid 40's under load and upper 20,s at idle. I have never had the OS crash on me. I have had the same installation of XP since December when I bought the mother board. And I have a 1.225 VID chip too.
