My VID with that program is - 1.2750v
is that it.
Just used auto till i got to 3.9 ghz then had to jump into bios and bump it a few steps at a time. next time i restart ill double check all my settings and post them up.
How ever there is no way im gonna attempt to run at 4ghz 24/7 it will just kill the cpu , think its a bad idea i think 3.8 is enough for most stuff i do. To be honest 2.6 and 3Ghz is good enough for normal work on a quad core.
Wish CPUID did all this with temps and VID instead of having to download loads of programs lol.

yep,thats your VID.mmmI was using one yesterday with a 1.2625 that woul not budge past 3.6,was glad to get mine back in.For most things 3Ghz is enough,but when I play GTA IV at 3Ghz I get really bad fps and some stuttering,whack it up to 3.6 and its fine(that game is a Ghz/mem hog),Plus I am running a PS2 emulator which only utilizes 2 cores,so it needs to be pushing 4 to make some progress

Well I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I got a stable Q6600 running around 3.4/3.6ghz iirc, a few months back it went bsod crazy, as if it wasn't very happy at all. .. would take like 2 restarts to get the OS back up each time ... .. then settled down and has been fine since.
3.6 is good for air, 3.8 is good for water, 1.4 ish volts is nothing unusual.
Never tried to push the chip too far myself, nor the Q6700.
what motherboard and ram are you using mayhem?
i also have a q6600 which has a vid of 1.2750, it is also watercooled
i havent tried 4 ghz... ill try to do it now.
edit
tried and i failed miserably. highest i can go is 3.8 but is not very stable (cant do prime). highest stable is 3.6ghz. maybe is because im using crappy ram and an Evga 750i ftw mobo.

Thks but got to be real honest now.
It wasn't hard.
Over clocking is far to easy. I still remember it used to take me hours just going up 400 or 500 Mhz lol. Today's equipment just makes it far to easy lol.
today im going to have a go at turning on the NOS in windows 7 with the auto asus over utility and see how fast it can push the chip on its own.

I have still been playing slowly .. getting stable only settings and so far im up to a 57.9% over clock stable. That's 3.789 ghz Over clock Testing over 4 hours.
My max temps are 45c on 95% load wich i may consider quite good witch such a large over clock only on a duel rad and there is no NB/SB water cooling just on air with only the CPU being water cooled.
It would be interesting to see the results on a 3 x 120mm rad but since i don't have one it isn't going to happen any time soon.
Ive done a video and will upload now of it running Street Fighter IV @ the rated over clock of 3.81 Ghz.

nope its Core 2 not pentium.

Anybody getting 4Ghz stable on Q6600 is doing really well on water, especially with our current ambiant temps.
the purpose of the of the pic was to show that its not the chip thats holding you folks back, its all about keeping it cold enough to operate, I think that was on a single stage at around -40c
The fsb is important 500+ can you get that with lower multi? it will speed the memory as well, and make the machine faster overall
