*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[Pneumonic]

In my experience there is a point with Q6600 where you have to keep the temperatures low to gain more mhz... normally at the point where you have to give it a bit of a big bump in vcore to obtain a higher clock..

On my L737B192 I can run 8 hours Prime stable @ 3.745ghz @ 1.424v however to get to 3.825ghz 8 hours prime stable requires an extra .072v (1.496v) for 80mhz compaired to 3.825ghz prime stable - 4.023ghz primestable which needs extra 0.040v (1.536v) for 198mhz..

So at up to the 3.745ghz clock I can prime at temps of up to 75c on the cores (never let it go higher), where after this point and the big jump in vcore if any core hits 63/64c then prime 99% of the time will fail..
