Errr... as far as I know, you don't normally need to increase the NB voltages for mild overclock.... however, I guess different rig is different.... whatever makes your rig stable

So, is your rig stable?

3.08Ghz with vcore 1.35 run prima95 25minits so far no problem now.
The Northbridge i set to +0.1v . full load temp is 60'c

My full load at 3.2Ghz @ 1.40v is 65'c. My Q6600 is not that good, VID is 1.325v.....

Anyway, I'm happy with 3.2Ghz.... althought I had to downclock to 3.12Ghz due to random reboots recently.... will try to increase slowly again....

can anyone advise izzit my rig is ok or not? my idle 3.4ghz @ 1.44 is around 38'c and full load at around 60'c, VID is 1.325v. i use this setting daily and 4 my gaming. it's passed prime95 stress tested, izzit ok?

Added on May 4, 2009, 11:19 amedit...... actually the full load temperature is 54'c ~ 58'c.

How come your temperature is so low? My Q6600 is running at 3.2Ghz at 1.400v (In bios) and the temperature is 65'c load on prime95. And I'm using the xigmatek S1283 which is not a bad cooler....

Are you running 'blend test' or 'small FFTs'?

Hi kmarc, Currently now test 3.13Ghz with vcore 1.35 still no error with prima95 in 10minits (still running). Hope it stable

Anyway about power option at control panel. I set my power options to power saver mode. The processor power management state is Max 50% Min 5%. It quite alot difference compare with balanced mode which is power management state is 100%.
The CPU temp drop around 10'c in saver mode compare with balance mode. And I didn't found any trouble yet. Is there safe? it look nice

Errr... I don't have any experience with the power saver mode. If I remember correctly, that mode is available for your mobo, which is the newer gigabyte EP35DS3L. My mobo is the old one, gigabyte P35DS3, no power saving mode.

Kmarc can i take my rig to ur place you help me get my Q6600 to 3.6 ma?

Alamak! Me beginner-average overclocker only la. Know how to push mhz and vcore only.....

he should using his com in air-cond room.... i OC my Q6600 @ 3.3GHz, idle is 43C, 59C load... using sunbeam CCF... but the temp can bring down smore by using tuniq tx-2 and high air flow casing.....

Lol i learn how to push mhz and vcore from your guides oso one ler
I'm just hoping that my new true 120 will perform a lot better then my Zalman 9700.

hi pl4tinum, long time no see u post ler.

Where you going get ur true 120? So far i know that True black 120 selling RM300plus at kuching that look cool
Hope to see your result soon.

Edit : WTH today... when i test for stable today. It direct BSOD and shut down... Even i try to downclock to 3.10Ghz. Computer bad mood liao.

Er.. guys 8x375=3Ghz and 9x333=3Ghz the Vcore can remand same between this 2 right? 8x375 better?

that is confirm . true will perform better than zalman

Price is also a factor, since the 9700 is cheaper..

Still, my 9700 can take me to 3.6 with ease

try linx,my q6600+true hit 80c with ease@1.47vcore

mine running 3.6ghz 400x9 at 1.45v vID not sure but i think somewhere arnd 1.375v
anyway, tried to push around 3.8ghz - 4ghz can boot but seems like my RAM sucks hell i cant even push far from 800MHZ >.<" sure BSOD
damn i wish could get my hands on those d9gkx chipset rams and try tweak for at least 450x8 >.<"

tested my friend's rig...q6600..oced to 3.2ghz..1.35v...tpower post led shows 29 degrees only...full load at 54 using prime95..cooled by sunbeam ccf and cm690 case...didnot test with realtemp or coretemp..but it is cold enough i tink

Another way is to tweak the GTLref/settings.... never had time to do the tweakings....

TRUE is probably the 2nd best cooler after the IFX-14......

Higher FSB/bus speed is generally better. However 333mhz and 375mhz won't make much difference in real world applications....

i oso dunno how to tweak GTLref/settings. waiting for ur guide on ''how to.."

I was in the process of doing one but didn't have the appropriate motherboard to test it out..... so, I didn't....

However, there are some websites that do explain it although most assume that you're quite familiar with overclocking.....
