Hey guys, Its been a long time since I posted but I need some help/suggestions. At my summer internship, we have this one Dell computer (god awful slow celeron) with some generic 80GB IDE hard drive. He gave me a second 80GB IDE...

So far...this has been my best stable OC with a G0 Q6600 VID 1.3125 I have found more stability with turning LLC off,and my BIOS set voltage for vcore is 1.60v. Temps permitting (I was seeing a MAX of 68c with my true), just try 1.6v...

Load temps at 1.58v during 3dmark06 was no higher than 55c MAX. Having 12 degree air with windows open is win.... I still say however, I'd get the q9550. I wish I had gotten one instead

I have a Q600 with a 1.3125VID. On my GA-EP45-UD3P MB, I was running 3dmark 06 last night at 3.75Ghz. Bear in mind it was "just" stable enough to run that, and it did take around 1.58v for that. The point I am trying to make is...

Sucks... Just realized that today was the 7th day after ordering it. So I think I am not allowed by newegg to get the refund anymore...

It was just about 200 to buy, 10 to ship back to newegg... That be "selling it for 160"... Thats a good option

Id sell this thing for 170 in a heartbeat. That be a 25 dollar loss

I bought a Q6600 for my XBX2 (975X) and it doesnt really OC the best, most likely due to the chipset being 3-4 years old now and not the chip itself. VID = 1.3125 Batch = If anybody wants it, I can go find it Its not even a week...
