im considering p45 mobo, so does it mean when i change mobo i can oc higher? looking at 400 fsb hopfully if i get p45 mobo.. but wondering how much vcore it takes to power up 400fsb..

yup
hopefully ;p
if mine p35 can hit 400fsb, p45 sure even more ;p

get p35 if u lazy tweak mobo

just up vcore can OC edi without having to adjust too much

p45 can let u OC at relatively lower vcore but then u will have to adjust alot of things like gtl ref, vnb, vfsb to ensure u are stable at that clock....

ur q6600 is normally walled at around 450fsb....

just my 2 cents liao

450 X 9 = 4.05GHz d =D
@Uzary kinda depnds on what your stock core is at lor. For my super l33t 1.325 last timei tried took 1.6 to reach 400. But i'm guessing for those with better 6600's it would take a lot less.

mine... 450 x 8... bios set vcore at 1.45v..

tested wit 1.4, later try lowering the vcore even more..........

tech3910... nice q6600 that u have with low vid.. mine 1.30vid (

the VID depends on mobo bro... last time i used EP45-UD3L, mine 1.1625, change to TP 45HP, increase to 1.325...

no no no

different batch has different VID.
as fir the VID drop to 1.1625, it will happen if u enable 1 of the power saving features in bios.
C1E or ESIT, either 1.

i hav seen q6600 wit VID as log as ~1.23

Added on September 13, 2009, 4:44 amactually not much different.
just dat my default voltage is lower.
it doesn't mean lower VID can OC higher.

anyway, for idle, i undervolt my q6600 to 1.024
still manage to OC to 270*9

i admire ur default voltage. tempting!!!!

Hi there guys, haven't been active for quite a while but anyways i would like to ask you guys that have been able to make 4.0GHz with your q6600 whether if it's possible if you guys could post a cpuz screenie of it for reference. I seem to have hit a barrier in my overclock @@

hey guy, this thread was started by me, haha, but i am now moving to i7, very nice platform.

great thread. only that i cant see any thread for qx6800. see that q6600 need more vcore than qx6800.

Can't get pass 3.0ghz -.- using Q6600 with gigabyte P43-DS3L board, Intel Stock Fan.

anyone still active in OCing this processor?

Im using Kingston hyper 6400 4-4-4-12 2gb Modules X 2

I am having trouble running the rams at 400 FSB 1:1 Ratio.. im sure it can reach that speed 3.6 ghz with 400fsb 1:1, im just not sure how to set the motherboard settings.. so i leave most of the options on auto.

Any gurus know wat settings to put into ai tweaker in asus p5q pro for a 400mhz 1:1 overclock?

i believe most who overclocking q6600 is now overclocking i7

sure i bet most of them are ocing i7.. that will be my next step.. im just squeezing everything out of this processor b4 i move on.. ITS STILL KINDA SOON TO MOVE ON to a new processor.. unless money is no object to u..

HI bro i getting my Q6600 3.6GHZ is 50% overclock with 24/7 ver stable

This where i post the picture and testing

what's your budget ?

I used that mobo before and still i managed to do 3.8ghz rock stable. So the mobo is not the problem

i still stuck with Q6600. Think to move to Q9550 before moving completely new platform with I7.

Honestly speaking, Q6600 is a great CPU for OC.
