   | Re: Help required: Overclocking a Intel Q6600 (g0) Welcome to the forums ! Basically start upping your FSB and test it out (stress it) every time you up it to check stability and make sure your ram is running at 1:1 with the FSB. If its unstable up the voltage by one notch , and re-check. Make sure load temps don't exceed 71c. Good Luck !

| Re: Help required: Overclocking a Intel Q6600 (g0) Make sure you increment the FSB in small doses. To get the hang of it try 5-10Mhz increases, stress test it, and if its stable continue. I know the q6600 can reach 3.2-3.6 but if you are just starting out, go very small.

| Re: Help required: Overclocking a Intel Q6600 (g0) thats brilliant cheers for your help so far, will go and try out those suggestions. I got way too confused with other places guides to oc-ing! I was impressed when i was looking around my mobos settings. everything i need for fsb etc is in one section seperated from all the rest of the rubbish  |

| Re: Help required: Overclocking a Intel Q6600 (g0) Hmm, didn't know gigabyte made an SLI mobo. The main thing to watch on the q6600 is the temps. I have had mine as high as 4ghz but i have the best possible air cooler on the market and have lapped both it and the chip for better contact. You should be able to get 3.0-3.1 without changing the voltage.

| Re: Help required: Overclocking a Intel Q6600 (g0) Yeah , same thing with voltage on C2D i'm running 3.21 on stock voltage and you have the less consuming power revision of your CPU , so you should be set. What are your temps ?
