Quick questions about clocking a Q6700

Darshiva · 14 Dec 2007 at 10:00

Morning Gents - I have a Q6700 running at stock; if I want to overclock it can I just up the multiplier (as its an extreme chip - I know stupid waste of money); and if so will I have to change any voltages.

Is this the best way of overclocking it; or should I go down the path of uping FSB etc.

What RAM are you running. Upping the mulitplier instead of FSB is very useful if your RAM is a slower stock speed (ie 533MHz) and cant go much higher. In that case you can just increase the overall speed without overclocking the RAM.

Im running 4Gig of Geil PC2-6400 at 400Mhz

So is it the best overclock to just do the multiplier then based on my ram ?

If it is unlocked (and the Q6700's aren't, but the QX6700 was) then use the multiplier and fine-tune with the FSB.

It is a Qx6700 - and thanks for you help.
