Do I have the worst clocking Q6600 GO ever?

None of my Q6600's will touch 3.6GHz without at least 1.5V. I'd say yours is pretty good to do 3.4GHz on so much less.

You're miffed that it doesn't just do 4GHz? You're frightened of frying something?

Be a man and turn it up.:p

quite

my G0 does 3.5 with 1.5v, granted it was a very very early one (I got mine before the uk so ner! :p) but still, it doesn't want to know until it has a fair vcore in it.
 
idd i can't see what all the hissy fit is about only getting 3.4ghz on low volts lol? be happy with it at 3.4 as it will be pretty much as fast as you need atm and i sincerely doubt a extra 200-400mhz will make a large real term difference to how your comp performs.

on a side note what are your temps and what hsf are you using?
 
The cooler is a huge Zalman thing, it is a Zalman CNPS9700-LED

Link here Zalman flower shaped cooler thing

The core temp only get to the mid 40s in heavy gaming use. The Power regulators gets up to the mid 40s too.

I don't bother running stress tests as I won't ever need to run at full useable all the time! Pointless waste of leccy!

I have tried running more power through it. Maxxed it out at 1.62volts, it made not a bit of difference to the maximum FSB speed.. so I reduced it tyo a more manageable level! Now the CPU runs at about 27-30 degrees C at idle and high 30s, early 40s in heavy gaming.

My GForce 8800GT runs at 710MHz core, matched.

I currently have it running happily and near silent at 350MHz FSB on 9x multi at standard core Volts +0.15 offset.

Memory is running happily at just over 800MHz on 1.9volts.

All seems well!

Shame it won't do 500MHz FSB on 9x multi while being fed stock volts, but there you go!

When Intel make that chip, we'll all be deeply impressed!

My Q6600 G0 does 3.6GHz with 1.425 Vcore set in the Bios, 8 hour Orthos stable (400*9) and running 4x1GB Memory ~ 800MHz 4-4-4-12.

Abit IP35.
 
I got my G0 to 3.2GHz with 1.4v, 8hrs Orthos stable (400*8) and running 4x1GB Memory at 800MHz 4-4-4-12 2.1v on an Asus P5K Premium.

Pretty sure it will go higher but that was in the low 70s*C - need to get me a better case I think, I've got everything crammed into a Coolermaster Centurion5 with 1 80mm intake and 1 120mm exhaust. Arctic Freezer 7. looks like this - as you can perhaps see, there's a wall of hard-drives between the intake fan and everything else.

To get 3.745 Ghz on my air setup it has to look Something Like This (excuse the wires still testing a stable overclock at 3.8 and I have more bits to go in before I tidy up!), thats an Ultra 120 Extreme, the fans are Delta EFB1212SHE, there is also one in the front here & here, going down the ducting stright on the Ultra Fan Intake..
 
ive got mine running at 3.2GHz on 400X8 @ 1.4volts
the voltage is a bit high for my speed i think but you should be able to put urs up closer to 1.4
(speaking from next to no experience here)
 
Mine blue screened on start up when i tryed to do that nick. How irritating, even did it at 1.425 and i put the north bridgeu p by 3. Got it on 3ghz at the moment. Pc got stuck in a restartign loop as well for a long time.

strange. I tested it for over 8 hours of prime (left it running while at collage ;) )
3.2 is stable on my settings.

tried taking multiplier to 9 though (making it 3.6???) wouldn't last.

what sort of temps should i get worried at on speed fan?

oh and cpuz only reads 0.04V lower than bios setting when idle and 0.056V lower when at full is that good?/bad?

8 fours of Orthos IMO is not long enough. Was testing mine (with Prime 95 for quad) and it failed twice at 13 and 16 hours, had to turn up v.core 2 notches and still stable after 48 hours :D. I know that 48 hours of stressing seems a bit long but I would hate to think that my sys is half-baked overclocked.:p

48hrs lol hardcore :)

personally i think 8-10hrs of prime is plenty along with lots of OCCT and gaming benching too, prime alone is not enough to stress all components especially the NB on intel chips.
