    Overclocking A Q6600

    Hello friends
    I need help overclocking my q6600. I have my q6600 at 3.2ghz with it set to 1.4 vcore in the bios , and the rest of the northbridge voltages and etc set to auto. I have been fiddling with the voltages and fsb, and in doing so I can get into windows at 3.4ghz but I have to jack up my vcore to almost 1.48 volts, and along with that I have to change my NB voltage to 1.48 volts and the fsb termination voltage to the same 1.48 volts. This is not completely stable, and I'm wondering what I should try to adjust to get more stability out of this. I'm afraid to up the volts more, because I don't really know what is acceptable for this chip, and what is acceptable for motherboards in general.

    P.S. I have a Zerotherm Nirvana cpu cooler.
    Blessings to you

    looks like that you don't have good clocking chips, one of my friend has 3 Q6600s, 2 of them do good to run from 3.2Ghz to 3.4Ghz on 1.5 vcore setting in the bios which is less than that in cpuz and even less with load. The other 1 will do from 3.6-3.9Ghz with the 1.5 vcore setting.

    Fotr your information Cooling isn't an issue, at max OCCT stress testing I have 60C. I Am damaging my chip with the 1.5 volts ?

    What you say about 1.5 on the northbridge ?

    i had a P5Q board and ran 1.7v on the northbridge. i see no problems. one of my friend had also ran an e6600 about 3GHz at 1.45v vCore.
