Anyone got advice on vcore settings for highest OC with a Q6600 running on a P35-DS3? on either 7x/8x/9x multipliers?

Currently highest OC is 3.5GHz at 389x9 1.55v stable. Cooled with a S1283. temps were really high... reaching 71'c-73'c...

but now, for daily use it's 3.2GHz at 400x8 1.4v stable. temps are 56-58'c load.

Help??

already tried vcore from 1.35v-1.55v. only one that was stable with is 1.55. so, how leh?

tried 1.40v-1.55v with 438x8.. also can't boot.. any ideas why? currently running 3.5GHz but now temps go down to 66~69'c. better than before..

which vcore should i take note of? in bios or in CPU-Z?

ooo... no money leh... hehehe... maybe just stick to my 3.2GHz ler... guessing it's the rams also... juz TVR only le... maybe next time

@tkh_1001
tried WC, temps were worse.. now just sticking to AC...

going to do some mod on my waterblock 1st... then maybe later will test it again and see where It gets me... hopefully it'll do me some good and might lower my temps to under 65'c at 3.5GHz...

my loop ah... rojak loop leh... custom waterblock from UglyVamp, Tt single fan radiator and Nirox 2800 pump... hehehe...

hehehe... good for you bro... my wc set is sold already.. so, now have to wait till i can go for wc again... maybe by then might be using Qx already... hehehe...

your vcore are really low for that settings leh... i tried 3.6 (400x9) 1.45-1.58v, but still wasn't stable enough.. I'm just putting it to a guess that my rams might be some of the cause.. only TVR leh... hehehe... but planning to get heat spreaders for them sometime soon.. so, see how... hehehe..

I've got a question. Currently using the GByte G41M-ES2L, running a Q6600 @ 3.08 @ 334x9 @ 1.344v. Used to be able to hit 3.2GHz on my ol P35-DS3... I'm curious, for your 3.66GHz, what voltage did you set in BIOS? Thanks!

Yea... just realized that.... huhu... my bad... thanks...
