Congrats on 500

On a True you will do 3.6 with ease!

yep been looking at the vcore requirements for my vid and 1.3200v seems about right for 3.6ghz @ 400fsb x 9 1600qdr with 1.5v on northbridge and ht southbridge at auto may be able to get away with 1.4 on northbridge and ht will see when i go for it xD

lol 1.32v will NOT bring you up to 3.6ghz, after 3.2ghz you usually need a big bump in vcore to get any further, even the guys with really good vid use 1.4-1.45v vcore to get 3.6ghz

Howsit guys...

Im still having some stability problems with my q6600 OC @ 3.2
Its 100% for day to day use/gaming ect, but when I run Prime95 My PC restarts bout 10min into the test.

I used the settings on page 1 (thanks go4life), But couldnt the CPU wasnt stable with my VCORE @ 1.425V
I upped it one notch to 1.431V, still not stable. Same with 1.4375v.
Im running 1.443V now, and its still not stable
The next step is up to 1.45V, but im not sure that is safe?

What do you guys think? Should I up the Vcore, or am I going to high?

hey monkey

you are safe at that volt, you can run it up to 1.5v without a problem. Actually when I had my Q6600 I ran it at 1.55v, but dont got over 1.5v

You may be a little unlucky with your chip since you need so much volt, but no big deal really

Have fun

So I upped the VCore to 1.45V, Ran Prime95, and the Temps are way too hot for comfort. I ran Core temp next to Prime, and at one stage one core was 68degrees...
Today is a really rainy day, I wouldnt want to run Prime when its 30degrees outside.
I think I have to go back to the drawing board, maybe lap my CPU or something, or buy a new cpu cooler altogether. For now, im back at 2.4

ouch, you can try to reseat your heatsink, and use artic silver 5, that may help a lot! And I would buy a better heatsink when you can afford that!
