ic.........sorry >.< i`m newbie on overclocking pc.......so the Aquagate S1 is prefect for oc until 3.0-3.2 @@?.....gonna buy it and try to OC later.....^^...

err...need to ask abit question.........is the cooler master Aquagate S1 good to overclock 2.4ghz to 3.0 or 3.2 ghz......@@?

JackMin,Mar 2 2008, 04:49 AM]hi guys, im currently using the Asus Striker Formula 2 780i SLI mobo to try OC my Q6600, but im kinda stuck on 3.2ghz. Even on 3.2ghz, the pc sometime auto reboot itself. ive tried slowly increase the vcore , nb, cpu vtt, +1.2v HT, memory and etc but the problem stil persists so now ive lowered them down bcoz the northbridge seems to be overheating alot when its under load. (80+degree) i really dun understand how i can go 3.6ghz or even 3.4ghz as no matter how much volt i pump into it, just will auto reboot during window loading up screen.

On 3.2ghz, ive manage to run OCCT stable for 3hour so far, but dun know why when i tried orthos(small FFTs / priority 10) it sometime can few hour no problem and sometime can few minutes it will auto reboot. so does this mean my system not stable? a friend told me that my proc has a very low VID, so it suppose to be OC friendly? any advice on what i should be doing next? Could my 8800GTS SLI is causing the problem or my rams? thanks alot....

Anyone here care to share your setting for the VID when you overclock your Q6600 to 356MHz x 9 = 3.2GHz?

for me .. 400x8 or 356x9 .. 3.2ghz vcore 1.38-1.40 .. depending on how hot it gets .. i dont have very good cpu cooler

If I'm not mistaken, that number quite high for Q6600 @ 3.2GHz, isn't? Or that's the normal VCore?

Anyway, can someone elaborate me on how to calculate the VID + amount to be the total VCore?

I'm newbie in OCing and only going to try it out today. How should I start? Raise the FSB first or the VID first?

Mine also needs 1.400v BIOS for 3.2Ghz.

Calculate VID + vcore? What do you mean?

You can try the FSB first to see how high you can OC at stock.... 

Oh icic. I had gone through your overclocking guide a few times already and I think I'll go through another time today when I really start OCing my rig tonight

Erm... calculate the VCore when added certain amount of "extra" VID (sorry, forgot what it called )

You mean I raise the FSB till at a level where I failed to POST or load Windows?

Nope. Raise your FSB until you get errors in prime95 (while stressing your rig)...... However, my method of overclocking is in windows and not in BIOS..... only the final settings will be set in BIOS.... 

Ohh... got any application which could let me change the FSB in Windows?

My specification is as on my siggie. So, in another way you mean raise the FSB till gets error in Prime95. Then raise my VID Special Add if I wanted to go higher and then continue push my FSB, error, increase VID Special ADD... till I get my desired speed and stability?

Anyone here care to share your setting for the VID when you overclock your Q6600 to 356MHz x 9 = 3.2GHz?

mine running on 357x9 with
1.275v bios
1.232v windows
1.200v load

is ur Xigmatek install correctly, temp a bit too high.

well u can check ur stock voltage when u installed everything at default.

i believe u can push more once u get the cpu temp down abit
