Hey, I have a Q6600 G0 running on air, in the process of overclocking and I can't get 'er stable at 3.6 GHz.

My voltages are as follows:

vCore: 1.513
vFSB: 1.35
Memory: 2.1
nForce: 1.45

My ram timings are 5-5-5-15 2T, and my FSB is 400x9(locked)

Can anyone help me? My temps are only at 55ish load, 38 idle.

No offense, but I can't see a Thermaltake V1 cooling a 3.6/1.5v Q6600 down to 55C during load - those are about what a TRUE, IFX-14 or Megahalem manages and they are much better coolers.... what exactly are you using to monitor temps and stress test?

Also, you might need 1.4-1.45 on the FSB get the system stable

if your mobo suporst LLC enable it, its a big help, and change your fsb strap to 400

A lot of Q6600s can't get stable at 3.6. Every CPU is different. It isn't easy to do either for many of them.

None taken. Using RealTemp for temperatures, OCCT for stress test. OCCT temp readouts are similar to RealTemps.

What is LLC? and FSB strap? FSB is at 400 atm.

Damnit..Not even with water? Might be getting a WC in the near future, but not if I can't OC more than 3.4...

Try upping your ram to 2.2. Whats your VID? I run 1.424 stable on my 1.3VID.

VID? How do I check/change that?

Paradox me

You can use Real Temp to check your VID.

Thanks.
My min is 1.16, max is 1.31, how do I change that?

Your VID doesn't change. If it does you must disable speedstep in BIOS.
Can you post a screenshot of Core Temp?
