I need to know about this q6600 L814B175 if I can overclock it to 3.6 or not!

thanks

L8's arent that good, I don't think you'll be able to get to 3.6, maybe 3.3 MAX.

What's the VID?

I don't know but I saw the batch on the chip , so if I can't overclock it to 3.6 I'll not buy it!

also I have to get the p5q-e of course when I take the q6600

Yeah, as a whole they aren't known for being the best. But the same is true with E8400's of the 81 batch and mine does over 4.2..so its luck of the draw.

how much are you paying for it? if its a good deal I would take it even if it cant go to 3.6

I have no idea what my batch # is since the CPU's lapped! But I have a 24x7 stable 3.6 with a 1.3000 VID. Even if you get one of the worst chips with a 1.3250 VID you should be able to hit 3.4 for 24x7 stable.

MY E6600 VID IS 1.3250 and I can hit 3.4 but with 1.48 v and it's too high for just 3.4
and I don't want to get quad to do 3.4 on the same high voltage!

If you need 1.48 volts to get 3.4, then that's probably as far as you'll go (unless you want to exceed 1.5V and take your chances). But that voltage is fine for 24x7 load. I've had mine running for over a month stable at 1.4875Vcore.

And don't be TOO unhappy, remember stock is 2.4 so you've gotten a free GHz!
