Hey guys first post in this thread, checking in.
I am stable at 3.6ghz with a GO step q6600.
My VID is 1.3125 (1.313v)
Almost everything in the bios is auto right now with the exception of manual control over cpu multi & ram timings.
Vcore 1.425
Cpu Multi x8
FSB 455
Ram 1:1 5-4-4-12
Enabled the function to limit vdroop
Speed Step, C1E, Spread Spectrum. All that jazz is still on since I leave my computer on 24/7 and have had no stability issues so far.
Prime95 Stable, I am seeing max temps of 50c on the Tcase and ~70c for the 0&1 Cores and 60c for the 2&3 cores. I would like to keep 3.6ghz for my 24/7 settings but try to reach higher for benchmarks.
I figure following the general rule of +15% of your VID means I can "safely" put 1.5v into this cpu but others tell me here and there that thats too much. I was 3dmark06 and wprime stable @ 3.8ghz 1.47vcore but its not prime stable. But I have yet to mes with the GTL values or to disable some of the options known to cause instability in a high overclock.
First things first, whats the max safe temp under prime 95 I should look for using coretemp or speedfan for the cores & tcase?
Also was curious why this mobo has a x63 for 2 of the cores and a x67 for the other 2 cores under the GTL (or was it PLL lol) ratio... should they not be the same?
