My Q6600 G0 has been sat at 3.5ghz at 1.5v for quite some time now.

I have decided to push it a bit more, currently testing with 3.6 at 1.55v.

The reason I have decided to try for more is that I have added some more fans to my Akasa Eclipse and am now very pleased with the temps.

My system is air cooled but used to be water cooled with a rad in the roof, since removing the water cooling and having hole staring at me I decided to stick a couple of artic cooling fans in there.

Questions.

1) What is the max voltage if temps aren't an issue?

2) Is there anyone here using 1.5 + voltage to get their desired overclock and how long have you sustained the voltage and what overclocks have you reached?

My vid is 1.35 so realise it's not the best chip, I have set the offset to -10 in core temp, can someone confirm this is correct?

My temps at the moment are 52_55_56_52 while running OCCT.
