Alright guys, I know pretty much nothing about overclocking Intels. I've gotten this Q6600 up to 3.0GHz so far, and she loads at about 55*C (1.25v under load). This is a 1.275 VID chip, if it matters. I'd like to see it up a little higher, but I have no clue where to start. I've tried 3.2GHz with more CPU voltage (1.35v), and it just does nothing....well, it does, but its not stable. I can POST at 4.5GHz with the 9x multiplier! I can boot into Windows so far at 3.85GHz...but I just can't seem to stabilize past 3.0! Any tips or tricks? Everything is 100% auto in the BIOS except the FSB is at 333 right now. I know to turn C1E and Speedstep off...but all these voltage options and everything else confuse me. Help?
