|  Overclocking Newbie help /w q6600 hey guys, ive been reading up guides on overclocking the q6600, and came across really complicated guides where they talk about memory timings, cpu core voltages, fsb, etcetc, and then forum posts where others have modestly 'bumped' up the fsb on their motherboard options to 333 to get their q6600's to 3.0ghz. the latter option is what i'd like to do, and was wondering if it would be fine, considering im a complete newbie at overclocking, and would only wish to reach 3.0ghz with my cpu. (planning to get a thermalright ultra extreme 120 for my g0 q6600 cpu, so hopefully wont have any issues getting to 3.0ghz on first try) |
