Any help is greatly appreciated
The OC will depend on how gutsy you are, and BIOS settings available to you. I still do NOT have a BIOS template for this mob so I can only quote what I here in passing.

The Q6700 can go a lil' farther then the Q6600. and I got mine to 4GHz on air as 500x8. It needs over 1.57v wich many are afraid to run, but if you get a good batch, it may go there. Others just OC on highest multi wich is hardly as much a challange so 400x10 should be no prob for a Q6700, as is 450x9 for a Q6600. Some are getting the easy 400x10 under 1.5v.

Dont forget to feed the PLL, GTL_Ref, and FSBT to help get the higher FSB stable.

PM me a BIOS template and I can try to help you further for a nice OC.
