*Official Retail G0 Q6600 Overclocking Thread*

What's the max vpll people put on a Q6600? and vmch on a P35?

First 3 posts or so cover PLL Voltage, I would be scared of 2V, I'd say bump it down to at least 1.8V, but I'm no expert and it's your chip . For the MCH or NB voltage I would say as long as it's not at extreme temperatures I wouldn't worry too much.

They are talking about 45nm chips. My SLACR is a 65nm...

True, but even looking up "max Q6600 PLL" on google you get most people saying 1.6-1.8V are the "safe" voltages.

I've lowered my voltages to the following:
1.4325 Vcore
1.57 PLL
1.35 VTT
1.36 MCH (P55 northbridge at 463 MHz, but could go lower).

So far, so good. Passes Intel Burn Test - 10 runs at default settings.

Nice
