Newbie Overclocking a Q6600

You can try one notch, but honestly a P45 board shouldn't really need anything for 355mhz. 3.4 is definetly not the norm and some Q6600 (especially last batches) seem to have it around 3.0-3.2GHz
 
Ok, well. I managed to get her stable in Burn Test and half an hour of OCCT @ 3.3Ghz. But, this was with 1.55 VCore in BIOS = 1.48 in CPUZ. So, it's doable, but far higher than I'd like.

I've decided that 3.2 is probably enough, and I'm slowly backing down the VCore:

Yes yes, I appreciate I've only had OCCT going for all of a minute in this photo, but I'm not trying to prove stability (yet)
Just wanted to give you guys who've been helping me an idea as to where I'm at.

Re. the CPU batch, I bought it at the end of 2008 from a big online retailer, who presumably sell LOTS! Unfortunately, I chucked away the box a year ago when I firgured I'd probably not need any of the info on it! Typical. But my guess would be that it is perhaps a later batch of the G0...?

Cheers guys, Ben
 
Likely, i don't take much consideration with VIDs but 1.325v certainly seems high, though i've had good clockers with high VIDs. Anything like load line calibration etc.. in that BIOS? Might bring your BIOS voltages down if it dosen't droop that much.
