Help with OCing my Q6600 g0?

csaefong · 10-08-2008, 12:31 AM

So im trying to OC my q6600 to 3.2ghz can anyone recommend what voltage i should jump it up 2 i tried to oc at 2.8ghz on stock voltages but failed.

i'd start at 1.4-1.45 and see how hot it gets and how high it will go on that. then work your way down to a comfortable level. kind of backwards from the mainstream school of overclocking, but it has always worked better for me. start high, end low. kind of like some of my younger days in the bar lol.

Well i OC it to 3.0ghz at 1.27500 and im running prime 95 to test it set the rams to 800mhz also.

Well after 3 mins the 4th core got a error and stop working.I up the Vcore voltage is that the right one?

yes, just put your voltage to 1.4-1.45 and when you reach your desired overclock, go down slowly with the voltage until your happy, i wouldnt run 1.45 daily through a chip so.

csaefong · 10-08-2008, 03:50 AM

So run it at 1.45 and go down slowly untill its stable?

lukas · 10-08-2008, 09:50 AM

put 1.4v-1.45v in the chip with the desired overclock, say 3.4ghz, if its stable, take the voltage down a bit more, and if thats voltage carry on taking the voltage down..

You should be able to do 3.2 with less than 1.4v I run at 3.6 with 1.4v. You might need to up your PLL voltage also.

A screen shot and your settings in bios would be helpful
If you don't feel like waiting a whole day to stability test just use this and run 10 passes
