*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[Giacomo]

I have a few questions. Is 4ghz @ 1.5v ok for a Q6600 GO? Is that a good clock with that voltage? I can't seem to get anything above that to be stable. I can load vista (ultimate 64) at 4.4 @ 1.54 or 4.2 @ 1.5, but after about a min of prime or everest it will crash. I can't get anything above 4ghz to be stable reguardless of voltage. What is the safest amount of volts the Q6600 can handle 24/7 (I know its all relitave, but in general)? I have an IX-38m, 4gb of patriot 1066 ram, ocz 850w psu, and I'm on phase at about -40c idle and -35c load. So, bottom line, should I be happy with what I have?Thanks.

I hope you're joking, because you've been damn lucky with that CPU. Look at my signature.

What was the stock VID of your chip?

I think you should stay below 1.52V-1.55Vmax for 24:7 on 65nm and good cooling.

Sorry not trying to rub it in or anything, I was just wondering if I should be happy with my results. So right now I'm at 445x9=4ghz. I went to 4.2 @ 1.52, but I dont think it is completely stable and I'm still messing with it. Does all of this sound ok? IX-38 board:

MCH 1:25 @ 1.45
ICHIO 1.5 @ 1.50
CPU VTT @ 1.32
ICH 1.05 @ 1.14

Where can I find my VID? I have everest, it say 1.275, is that right? Thanks for the help.

use Coretemp to find your VID and temp for all 4 cores.

You can find it under CoreTemp > VID or Everest > CPU Info > Core Voltage (below DIE Size).

If you consider they start at 1.20v and go beynd 1.33v you have a high VID cpu, but that didn't seam to stop you from getting a great OC.

Did you try to run Prime95 blend test or OCCT to see if your results are stable there is a huge difference between high clocked runs that you can get in Windows and play some games and work web/text editing etc and running a 100% stable clock.
