Like someone stated above, I'd sell that Q6600 as a good overclocking chip and replace it with a higher-end quad core. Don't spend your watercooling money on it. Just save up a little bit until you can afford them both. Epic.

Go for something like a Q9550.

this is right unless you get a SUPER cherry q6600 and a mean radiator 4ghz is just out of reach 3.6-3.8 would max it i say.

Yes, very. I've ran my sig rig chip at 95c for a couple of months (during Linpack testing), and my max OC hasn't gone down (which is 3.0 GHz)

Thanks guys, I am still nervous because to get to 4.05 my temps jump to almost 80.


Are you guys sure that with temps more than 70 that I wont kill my chip? I am upgrading in a little bit but if this is a golden chip it would be pretty cool if I could sell it or trade up or something. Maybe I will do a DICE run and see if I can set a Q6600 record or something.
VID of 1.850? You mean vcore of 1.85v? That's still crazy high.

VID = voltage required to run at stock (according to Intel)
vcore = current voltage running to chip (according to you)

Because your 30fps is not all coming directly from the CPU maybe 5fps so an increase to 35fps would mean a 100% increase from the CPU side of it.

These is pure speculation
You still don't get it. It could happen, but not likely to happen.

That is why I said "up to".

Will that extra 400MHz matter in terms of noticeable, real-world performance? Probably not, and if it does it probably won't be a significant increase.

But this is OCN and you're getting WC for a reason, so I says go for it!
this is probably correct and exactly why im not sure if i want to go to water...

No, it has a VID of 1.1950. I am 100% sure.



Just realized that i wrote 1.850. That was a typo it is really 1.950

A VID of 1.95V

Wow, the CPU must have died running at stock. That's not right. Q6600 VID's are between 1.2v - 1.35v. Intel states this from all batches manufactured so far.

Sounds like you got a 1.2v VID!

To find the actual VID, run CoreTemp and it says

Oh my God, STOP TELLING HIM TO GET A NEW CPU THAT IS GUARANTEED 4GHZ.

He has stated multiple times that his Q6600 CAN and HAS done 4GHz at 72C load temps which is too high for him, which is why he wants to invest in watercooling.
