Q6600 Overclock

[catcher]

hello
i have my q6600 clocked to 3510.2 with core voltage 1.420.
idle temps 36 max temps 63 in prime95. does this look ok. (air cooled)

Looks good, tbh as long as you are ~70 in prime/occt etc you should be fine.

I would try for 3.6 now If you can get there without too much more Volts that is. I wouldn't go much over 1.45 myself but I have heard of some going up to 1.5.

ok many thanks

when i have mine at 3.6 it needs 1.43

temps just hit 70 on some cores

Temperature wise you need to keep the cores under 75c on Prime Small FFTs load

Voltage wise you are ok to hit 1.55v, up to 1.6 if you can keep temperatures well under control (normally requires water cooling)

My 3.4ghz G0 Q6600 runs LinX/IBT stable on 1.34v and stays around 55 degrees on air

Might see if I can push it to 3.6 but its plenty fast enough for a home server
