High temps on Q6600 during overclock
- Thread starter Phoenix
- Start date
But anyway, I had my PC running at 3,6 for a benchtest, and it worked great.
) can you slide me any other details you have or remember?Well, keep the multiplier at 9 and set the FSB to the desired target, then try with a vCore of 1,32v and keep increasing it one step at a time until you get it dual Prime95-stable. That's what I did. 
Btw, keep your memory at stock speeds and timing while doing this, you can start clocking it afterwards.
Edit: Oh, and unlink your memory.
What kind of mobo is it?

I put in your settings from above and set VCore to 1.34?? and decreased it until 1.26 which is stock so then set it to AUTO. On AUTO it booted and got through 2 of the 3DMark06 tests then died I'll give that a go but i'll leave the DRAM at 930 as it is using stock settings.

I get 3.0GHz without changing everything.
I'd prefer to set the vCore manually, as you got an idea of how much juice you're giving the CPU, without the risk of overvolting it and causing a quick death. But why would you decrease the voltage if it doesn't run stable? By decreasing you wont get any good results, as it needs more voltage to run on a higher frequency. But beware of going over 1,5v on air. If it wasn't stable at 1,34v, up the voltage one step and try again, and do this until it's prime-stable. And remember to keep an eye on the temps using CoreTemp.
