*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[sakaana]

Has any of you guys had trouble overclocking your q6600 on a 790i ? I cant get over 3ghz and vcore drops heaps between bios and windows while not being consistant either . Im not sure if I should get a q6600 friendly mobo or get a 45nm cpu . I do have a qx9650 on the way but it will be a week or so before it arrives.

Got a Q6600 which goes 3600Mhz on a Striker II Extreme, however it`s more tricky to overclock on a NVidia board. For example on a P35 i`m good to go with only 1.324V, on the NForce one i need to give him around 1.42 (load). It would be interesting to know about other user`s VTT/PLL e.g settings on a 790i.
