*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

[Bootup05]

Decided to give OC'ing this chip another go. Don't like sitting at 3.4GHz lol. (3.7/3.65 Wasn't stable).

I have some bios shots to upload later.

Here's my story.

1 week ago I noticed that after going above 3600MHz, SPI would start failing. Not BSOD'ing just crashing. Which I thought was odd, no other CPU that I have OC'ed too far has done that.

Been fiddling around in the bios now, My MCH/ICH Temps are fine. Stuck the MCH to 1.42v, cool to the touch.

Theres a few things I need to sort out. If I try to boot at...

400x9
LLC Enabled
1.45v
1.42v MCH
1.2V ICH
1.9V DIMM

All others 'Normal' *System Will NOT Boot* BIOS Resets.

Something isn't getting enough voltage at the 'Normal setting' Which is probably CPU or MCH.

I'll have to sort that out by the process of Elimination.

EDIT: SPI Still crashes, 8 minutes in.. Prime Core 1 errors out in the first few seconds...
