I am having some issues overclocking my Q6600 on an Asrock P5B-DE. I have a G0 chip but sadly it has a VID of 1.325. The CPU cooler is an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7.
I could never get this chip stable on my old Asus P5N-E SLI, but I am starting to think that I never gave it enough Volts. I am not going for anything excessive at the moment, 3.0 to 3.2Ghz would be nice.
I was doing some reading earlier and pushed the VCore to 1.5v to see if i could boot up and get it stable. Well it booted fine and I opened Core Temp and CPUZ to check a few things. The voltage according to CPUZ was 1.496, and the temps looked fine, obviously no stress on the CPU at this moment.
I fired up Prime 95 and the VCore dropped from 1.496 to 1.424, Which seems like an excessive drop to me. The temps looked fine, hitting about 62 on some of the cores, but then one of the workers stopped due to an error.
I know on the P5N-E that there was a vdroop mod, is there anything I can do on the P5B-DE? Or do I give it even more juice.
