I just realized why my Q6600 won't go past 3.2GHz.

I have one of the 1.32VID chips. I have been trying for days to get it even upto 3.4GHz.

No go. It overheats something shocking on 1.4volts and 1.5 brings the chips cores to 80 degrees! lol :o

Awk well... Might invest in a wee dual core or one of the 45nm quads

Anyone else with this problem?
 
Mine is a 1.3250 one g0.

Im struggling to get 3.2 stable, best thing thats made it stable i think is the bump a notch on nb volts to 1.4 and fsb strap is 333 and my vcore is 1.4850 i think but vdroop is massive it goes from about 1.47 in cpuz down to 1.320 in cpuz when prime blending.

Man I have the 1.427 I think on the cpu?
Well its one notch above 1.4 anyway.

Just did 20 runs of intel burn test at each stress rating there. and a few custom ones. This is rock solid at this frequency like... Just annoyed that i spent the last 3 days trying to hit something that wasnt possible without water lol...

I'll list my bios setting here in a few mins if that might help you out.

Although im really thinking about selling this chip on ebay, and going for one of the new quads... im sooo ****ed lol

Have to say I am not up to speed on this. How do I check which version mine is?
 
I have a 1.325 and don't have any of these problems, had it up to 3.8ghz.. the vcore is vastly overblown as an issue.

some chips just suck, as do some motherboards, you may have one or both of those problems.
 
I have had it upto 3.6GHz for benching, on this board and another MSI P45 I used to own.
But they have both never been stable for longer than a 3D mark test.

Yer rumour has it my board model is pretty sucky for overclocking but if I can get 3.2 out of it once I fit this HSF at the weekend then I will be happy for now.
 
Agree with matt100, in particular regarding boards. I had a 1.2750 vid q6600, couldnt clock it for squat past 3ghz in an nforce 680i sli mobo, replaced the board with a p5q dlx p45, hit 3.8 ghz with relative ease.
 
I give up on 3.2ghz so just trying 3ghz stable with 1.4vcore.

Vanderpool tech
Cpu tm function
transaction booster.

Do i need to do anything with these.

Also is fsb strap best left auto or what im currently doing 333.

Oh and couldnt even boot proper with my ram at 3ghz oc and 8500ram at 1066 had to use 800mhz speed then no probs after. Weird.

If you are going for 400FBS x8 multiplier surely you need to have fsb strap at 400?
Have you set your ram voltage high enough?
TBH if your computer will last 20 runs of intel burn test then i'd say its pretty stable.
Anyone else agree?
 
I cant get that intel burn test to run, says somits not side by side or somit.

Also im using 356x9. Or was. Now im trying for 3ghz as i lept straight to gettig 3.2 lol so im on 333x9 now.

Forgot about the 8 multi. Might try. But i want it at 3ghz at least first.

On a asus P5K-C with Tuniq Tower120.

Spread Spectrum, disabled? Any reason cos duno what it does and if i should do what u did or not.

Same for Execute disabled bit or somit.

Spread Spectrum - A phased locked loop that compensates for EMI form you pc.

When overclocking leave this diabled - Spread spectrum creates a small variation on a cpu's clock frequency of around 1% (enough to make an overclocked cpu unstable)
