set the trfc to 64, or just use the epp profile for easier overclocking

MInes around 1.2v at 2.4 when left to auto

A high end air will also do...

yup, what vcore is yours? mine is 1.2500 @ 3GHz steadily at the moment, will try to lower if got time

btw, undervolt topic @ http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/518154

my vid is 1.3v
i can go 3.2ghz @ 1.216v, 1.3v gets me up to 3255mhz... but wanna go 3.6ghz took me 1.425v

I need 1.45v to stabilise my q66 @ 3.6ghz, stable under IBT/LinX.

When i enter Bios it says that the stock core for my q6600 is 1.325. Is this normal or does it indicate a weaker processor. I can't hit even 3.0 wif a core of 1.216.

Weaker processor since u need more vcore at stock speed.

That means your cpu VID is higher. My old trusty Q6600's stock vcore is also 1.325v. Not good for overclocking. Needs 1.400v to run at 3.2Ghz....

Yeah, and i don't think i can hit 3.2 with my current setup as at 9X330 im getting a max temp of 72 when i stress with p95. Stable but i think if i want to hit 3.2 i may need to change my zalman CNP9700 NT. Kmarc may i ask for your load temps at 3.2 Ghz?

zalman cnp9700nt is a haihhhhhh cooler... im getting the same temp as urs with cm z600 @ 3.6ghz 1.425v...

Can do intel burn test a bit and let us know the temperature.

u remind me of those days when i got my q6600 haha

i sold my q6600 a long time ago, but i still have some ss left behind after my dreaded mistake of deleting everything in my hdd @@

still using ddr2 mobo when i took this ss, so the vdrop and vdroop aint that good compared to my ddr3 mobo now hahaha

Ei ibenq can i ask what cooler you were using when you took the screenies for your q6600? Stressing at 3.2 your max temps only 57
My rig atm i just start p95 and almost immediately the temperature raises to the mid 50's. I'll post a screenie of my temps later tonight.

like i said, cm z600

Lolx I guess i wasn't paying enough attention. But seriously speaking the zalman isn't a really recommended cooler is it?

Another question i have is that because i have such a high stock vcore, does that mean that using air cooling i will not be able to break 3.2Ghz with my proc?

im not sure if stock vcore has anything to do with it... u c my stock vcore oso is 1.3v, but im able to hit 3.2ghz with just 1.216v... 1.3v gave me 3255mhz

all the while i used air cooling bro

Errrrm............Not great
Great Q6600 can do 3.6ghz@~1.4vcore stable

laaaaaaaa. 0.025 extra oni ma .... imo i dun think great q6600 hit 3.6ghz 1.4v stable... i've seen other some q6600 hit 3.6ghz 1.36v stable ... dats wat i call great hahaha

I also had the same thoughts as you initially. So i used the exact same settings that i used to reach 2.88ghz at stock core (i learnt from Kmarc's guide ), but i tried to lower the core to 1.28i think. I know it was the highest 1.2 denominator and i managed to post with it. I get into windows to try to check for stability, and as soon as i click on start in p95 i get my fav blue screen.

I have to set my vcore at 1.29 for 3Ghz to get stable @@"

Jealous leh other people only need 1.25 vcore.
