How far can I push Q6600

Hi all

At the moment have PC as per sig, but after lapping both quad & TT, I am now thinking of squeezing it up to 3.6 :cool:

But I would like to check a couple of things with the knowledge of the forum;

1. What is the max volts for quad ?
2. What is max load temp for quad using P95 small ffts?

Thank you for your assistance in this matter

Ok I have OC'd to 3.6 idle temps of 45, load temps of 76 (after 2 1/2 hrs of P95 small fft).....would you consider this to be safe..oops at 1.4v in bios

That seems quite high for a TT, Mines clocked to 3.51 @ 1.49v and hits 75C using a Scythe Ninja

what seems quite high :confused:

I was thinking of adding a second fan to TT, but unsure what type and how to connect. I know it will need something like cable ties to the TT but where should I connect it for power and speed

try to not go over 73 well my temperatures increased by 2 c as its summer time if u want to get 3.8 or 4ghz get a decent water kit

It was about 25 in my room yesterday, idle temps this morning are down to 40 so ambient temps make a big difference :eek:

!!! quite surprising really, I might clocked it back to 3.4 when summer really gets going to assit temps
