Mine:

Wait, now that you've asked, now only i realize my Q6600 G0 has the lowest "Req. Vcore"
Anyway, for your question, i don't know man, i only oc my Q6600 G0 to 3.2GHz [400X8].

I'm a mild oc'er, not a hardcore oc'er.

That's what i do since the my first C2D processor.
I've had 3 e6600 & one e6420. before

1st. E6600 ES - [Sold]
2nd. E6600 OEM - [Sold]
3rd. E6600 Retail - [Sold]
4th. E6420 Retail - [Sold]
5th. Q6600 G0 OEM - [Using Now]

I ran all of them at 400MHz [Bus Speed] X 8 [Multiplier] - [3.2GHz [Clockspeed] @ 1600MHz [Rated FSB]]

ES: Engineering Samples - Originally for Intel Laboratory use.
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer - Doesn't come with heatsink or any sorts of warranty from intel.
Retail: Boxed With 3 Years Warranty - Processor's that you bought from the shops.

I will test out the maximum speed i can go with my Q6600 G0 later once i got my Abit IX38 Quad GT.

@ Hyde`fK, buying the Abit IX38 Quad GT, is that a really good idea?
What i'm trying to ask is, is that board a real performer?

Well, i'm getting it from kvmcom.
He state in his topic the price is RM780.

I PM'ed him for the availability and the best price.

waiting for him to reply my PM.

Too high vcore? I'm using Abit IP35-E right now by the way.
Well, i'm not a hardcore oc'er anyway, i'm just looking forward for a board that can really stabilize the whole system with my Q6600 G0.
I'm also looking for a board that has the third PCI-E X16 slot so that i can slot in another graphic card for my 2nd monitor so that the 2nd monitor won't burden the GC that i use for gaming.

So is it a wise choice to upgrade from the IP35-E to IX38 Quad GT?

Oh wait, now that thing stops me from buying the board.

Aaaa.
What board should i go for now, i really really need a new board to replace mine, got really tired with this f*cked up IP35-E.

Mars doesn't have the third PCI-e X16 slot.
If it has, i would have it by my hands now.

No.
That's because laptop processors are made to use low vcores.
Sometime it uses half of the vcore compared to desktop processors.

That doesn't meant it will perform well in overclocking.

5 minutes ago, i raised FSB to 450MHz but the multiplier stays at 8, and guess what, the "Maximal Requested Vcore" still stay on 1.250V.

PS: 450MHz [Bus Speed] X 8 [Multiplier] = 3.6GHz [Clockspeed] @ 1800MHz [Rated FSB]

Sadly, i forgot to take the screenshot.
My system is not stable though, didn't play with the vcore hard enough to find either my system is stable or not.

Does that mean i can go alot higher with my Q6600 G0?

Low?
Beat this: A Q6600 G0 with a VID of 1.2000V

Bang, VID tu tak berubah la.
Mmg datang original dgn processor.

Ko try la ubah ubah FSB, ko tgk sendiri yang VID tu takkan berubah langsung.

Patience man, waiting for my new motherboard.
I can't go anywhere with this IP35-E.

Still deciding on which motherboard to buy.

So many choices.
1. Abit IX38 Quad GT
2. Asus Maximus Formula SE
3. Abit IN9 32X Max WiFi <-- The weakest in OC'ing. Sheesh, Why do i include this board in the list? Probably because it has what i need, the third PCI-E Slot.
4. DFI Lanparty DK P35 <-- Yeah, This one is the best in oc'ing, but the bad part? Getting it is so hard!
5. EVGA 680i SLi Rev. A1 <-- The most expensive!

Because i can get Maximus Formula SE at much much lower price than the price you state earlier?

Some update with my newly bought EVGA 680i SLi Rev. A1. It seems that the Maximal Req. Vcore will stay the same even if you change the board.
