Q6600 Overclocking Database.

Wanted to play with a quad on socket 775 and got a crappy 1.325VID G0, it needs 1.65V bios for 3.6ghz stable. The Abit has massive vdroop so it's at 1.6V when i'm priming, temps are ok with water cooling. I don't care if it burns out in a couple of months, I want some performance out of it, then I'll have an excuse to buy something else if it dies. Mind you I read about some people who ran 1.6V 24/7 for almost a year and the cpu still going strong.

What memory divider are you using? Try a different memory divider. You may be see bettter results with lower voltage. Are you using CPU-Z to verify your CPU voltage? My voltage is set to 1.45v in bios but runs at 1.40 under load and idles at 1.41v

Wow you were very unlucky.

Wow you were very unlucky.

I guess I have been unlucky 4 times then because I have been through about 4 G0 Q6600's with high vids that could not do 3.6ghz prime stable without at least 1.6vc.

Dam thats really bad luck, when i got my Q6600 I thought they were all 100% the same lol.

Ouch I feel the pain... mind you we are talking 50% overclock on a cpu that has 4 cores on it and is 65nm.

I'm using 9x multiplier, with 8x it would barely boot on my old P5B deluxe, 9x always worked more easily. On the IP35 it works great at 8x425 but anything over that I get huge instability no matter how many volts I pump into it.

It needs 1.5V load to be stable at 3.4ghz.

I will show you guys something interesting.

Nice FSB I couldn't get better than 470 on MF1 & 510 on MF2... I'll try this bios

[fatguy1992]

Very nice

My best atm is 515x7 .

Whats the world record for highest FSB on a Q6600?
