got a q6600 on tuesday ran it at stock until last night clocked it, its at auto vaults, what more do you think i can get from it?

Looks about what mine would be, minus the lower volts. You should hit 3.4ghz no problem, even 3.6ghz, providing your cooling is adequate, because your vcore is still low.

By the way, whats that CPU program on the windows side panel? i'd love for some handy apps like that that show stuff at a glance, just have the little speed-dial one at the moment.
 
Ahh yeh, you can download more can't you, forgot about that. I'll have a look around the net later for some RPM/Temp ones, like asus probe/speedfan but in the bar at startup. And maybe a MP3 one :)
 
Mines a 1.25v Q6600. I found it would go up to 3133Mhz on that stock voltage but anything above required more power. I'd run 1.3v once you get over 3gig to be sure of stability.
 
My voltage is at 1.45v, up that little bugger :). 1.45v is totally safe, i'd say 1.5v is a max. safe limit, though not THE max.
 
1.5V if you want to be safe really. I'm running 1.53V through my E6600 to get 3.4Ghz, when I ask people I just get shouted at and told my processor will die, whilst others just say that adequate cooling will keep things ok.
 
i am running a q6600 at 3.4ghz with 1.45v (in bios). Because of the vdroop i am actually pumping 1.41v (windows reporting) and its rock stable.
 
Big vdroop there, wanna get an Asus board :)

Yeh, overclockers say over 1.5v will burn your chip, professionals say with adequate cooling there's no problem.

I've heard people running past 1.6v with water cooling. I don't think anyone here can state how many volts the chips can take without knowing the architecture inside the chip, not jsut basing it off Intel recommendations.

Will look on net to see if there is a max where it fries, a benchmark would be nice.
 
CPU - 4.0025Ghz at 1.600v
FSB - 1778Mhz at 1.5v Multiplier x9
Mem - 1066Mhz and 5-5-5-15-2T at 2.20v Unlinked
HT - 220Mhz x5 at 1.3
PCI-e - 210Mhz x5 at 1.4

One guy is running that on water.

What i've gathered is 1.5v with a very good air cooler (Thermalrite 120, tuniq tower,etc) is fine for 24/7 use. 1.6v is possible on perhaps water, but the chip may last just a year, 2 years tops before it starts degrading.
 
i seem to have hit a wall with my clocks, i upped to volts to 1.4-1.45 but it wont run stable above 3.11 (345 fsb), cooling wise its not getting above 49 at load on two cores and 45 on the other two.

what could be my limiting factor, or is that it?

Wow, you must have been really unlucky with those cores, my E6600 is doing 3.4 atm with 1.43.
 
Are you sure it's not your memory that's causing the problem? What multiplier do you have the memory set to and what timings?
 
i was leaving my mem at the settings that the bios set, it was showing (without checking) 712 and my mem is rated at 800, timings left at default
my mem is in my sig, any suggestions as to what might work best to take the mem out of my limiting factor? ( if thats what it is)

i am trying differant FSB and multis
at the moment i am at 400FSB and 7 multi to get 2.8 ( i know its lower)
and so far its running ok, so i take it that its my cpu that the limiter?

ok so the next question am i better having higher FSB but still running 3.11?
or 3.11 at the highest multi?
or does it not matter?
