I OC'd my Q6600 to 3.2GHz, seems stable. Ran a couple instances of Prime95 for 24+ hours and IntelBurnTest about 3 times, 10 tests per run, and I didn't get any errors.
Temps are 29C idle, 60C full load. When I start IBT it reads my CPU as 3.6GHz, as does Everest. Also, during ITB my FSB multiplier drops to 6 and clocks at stock 2.4GHz, but I have EIST and C.I.A. 2 disabled in my BIOS (seems to happen randomly throughout the test and only on cores 0 and 1).
Since the temps are within reason it can't be throttling, as I opened Everest's system stability test window and it showed absolutely no throttling the entire time.
Here's a pic of the 3.6GHz readings.
Any ideas why it's showing 3.6GHz and should I be concerned/lower my OC?
