Q6700 overclock
- Thread starter Phill4321
- Start date
After some testing, I've realised its not stable 
Got it running at 3.2ghz stable. Ran prime 95 for 2 hours, so it seems ok. My temps aren't too good though. Its at about 68c under load!! After looking about it seems like my processor is a bad clocker. Its a revision G0, B stepping with a VID of 1.3250v. Apparently these are the worst oc'ers imaginable!! Any one got any tips to clock this well??

Its a pretty big heatsink with a 12cm fan strapped to it. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2976&p=9 Its one of these bad boys. The temps I reported above are from the core. So in some instances the cpu was running at 65c on the core as reported by core temp. Is this safe? I did manage to get it pretty stable at these speeds though.
