hey guys i noticed a whole load of ppl trying to oc Q6600's now for those trying to get a FSB of 450 or even trying to get a FSB of 400 stable these following settings can help without pushing your vcore too high. this is merely a guide. use at own discretion. remember all settings below might not be in your bios but for those that do have these settings i hope it helps. pls leave comments. constructive crits are more than welcome.
thanks for stopping by and havin a read.

this is what i have come up with.
Cpu GTL Reference- GTLV has the ability to filter out noise in the electrical signalling to the cpu what would otherwise case instabilities. this can be set to 0.63x when trying to get FSB's over 450 or your FSB of 400. stable.
Cpu PLL- stock should be 1.5v. this setting is mainly for overvolting which can increase fsb limits. stay below 1.75v for long term use on a FSB of 450 but depending on FSB speed adjust accordingly.
NB GTL Reference- set this to 0.67x when using a FSB of 400- 450. if NB temps are above 47 deg it tends to cause failures during stress testing. try to keep it cool.
NB voltage- should be set around 1.40v to 1.5v depending on NB temps and current FSB being used.
FSB Termination Voltage- keep that between 1.4v to 1.5v. nothing over that.
its basically the bus supply voltage. set to auto if graphical programs crash ie - games.

monkey3d- well not sure if it will out perform it but remember when overclocking a cpu there are alot of variables to take into consideration mainly being mobo, cooling and ram not to mention all the rest.
