I currently overclock my Q6600 at 3.4Ghz (426x8) at 1.45 volts in bios. This drops to approx 1.38 under load. My memory comprises 4 x 1024 of Geil 800Mhz running at approx 850 Mhz. CPU heatsink is Noctua NH-12F. Temperatures under full load approx 66-67'C in a warm room with all case fans on minimum.
Out of curiosity I tried for 3.6Ghz (400x9) and could not get it stable (Orthos) even up to 1.55v on the core. Should I try 1.6v or a bit higher or have I hit a wall with my CPU?
TIA
