WOOT, gonna build it in a min. Hoping for 3.6ghz. Although I want a fully stable, safe overclock I want to push it as far as it can while remaining in the sensible zone. With my Gigabyte DS3 mainboard what's the max vcore I should give it, I'm thinking anything over 1.5v is a bit much?
Not from OcUK, I bought my first gigabyte ds3/e6300 system back in August entirely from OcUK and almost all of my hardware before now, but I found the DS3 motherboard and 6600 slightly cheaper from a different competitor, I won't say names. I still bought my 2x1gb geil 6400 ultra ddr2 from OcUK as it's on This Week Only, cracking ram btw.
I just fired it up, 3.9ghz at 1.45v, stability testing now. Awesome CPU tbh, I think it's good for 4ghz+

Kesnell, why exactly is this a good stepping can I ask, it's just a lot of numbers and letters I'm interested to know how that can be interpreted for useful information.
Euro, I seen that in the other thread but I don't quite understand the stepping data, B2 etc. I can't see that anywhere on my chip. Thanks anyway.
