Overclocking Q6600 2.4 to 3.0 or 3.2

[WingZero30]

Right ok then, whats the next step?

For Q6600 @3.0GHz

Go into MIT in the bios and set the following:

-CPU clock ratio to 9 or 9X
-CPU Host Clock Control: Enabled
-CPU Host Frequency (MHz): 334
-PCI Express Frequency (MHz):100MHz
-(G)MCH Frequency Latch: Auto
-System Memory Multiplier (SPD): 4.00B
-CPU Vcore: 1.2625v (stock voltage)

Now go into Advanced Bios Features and do the following:

-CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E): Disabled
-CPU EIST Function: Disabled

Save these settings, exit and then boot up back to desktop. From there we will discuss 'testing the overclock' phase.

I just checked on core temp - Its clocked at 1336 memory and 3.0ghz for the chip! woo

Temp - 60c

Just tested it with Blackops and its much better already !

I want to go higher!

3.4?

Lets do it

Lol steady on. It might seem stable with gaming but there is still Prime95 and Intel Burn testing to be done before we can call [email protected] stable. Also what cpu cooler do you have?

Stock cooler mate, but I was just looking at getting a water cooled CPU kit, £60 = Bargain tbf imo.

If you could be so kind, write up what I need to download and test? and I will do it during the day as im going to get some shut eye for now.

Thanks for your help so far though mate!

You won't be able to achieve 3.4GHz on stock cooler. Even with stock cooler I don't think you will be able to pass 3.0GHz with intel burn test as coretemps will reach above 70C easily. You will need better cooler.

Here is my thread about overclocking Q6600 to 3.0Ghz and then 3.4Ghz. It contains useful information :
