P5Q + Q6600 @ 3.6ghz

is FSB Term Volt = 1.44 and NB = 1.4 and SB = 1.4 safe if properly cooled?

and wont kill my system?

also how do i detect NB temp on a p5q?

they are high for that clock and probably hindering the clock..

Set you NB: 1.3
FSB term: 1.34
SB: 1.2
PLL: 1.5 (may need a little more)

These should be plenty

P5Q are 65nm and therefore need less voltage

hmm, recently ive been getting random reboots?

what could cause this?

Pneumonic · 30 Oct 2008 at 20:12

what volts are you giving the ram?

decrypt3r · 30 Oct 2008 at 20:12

2.1

its rated at 4:4:4:15

but i changed to :12 for timings

could this be it?

Pneumonic · 30 Oct 2008 at 20:16

2.1v the highest recommended voltage on the ram? if not wack the volts up to the most recommended.. otherwise I would try it at 4:4:4:15 see if it solves the issue

but firstly lower the board voltages to what I have above that should be MORE than plenty for 3.6ghz

Also I would check to make sure you dont have transaction booster or anything like that set high that could cause instability

yes 2.1v

p.s thanks for quick replys mate

also what does PLL do? thats at 1.5 at moment

Pneumonic · 30 Oct 2008 at 20:18

If none of that works maybe try a little more vcore.. but I take it that the CPU is prime stable?

basically as I understand it controls the communication between the FSB and CPU 1.6v is probably the most you should push that to

decrypt3r · 30 Oct 2008 at 20:26

okay ive done this

Set you NB: 1.3
FSB term: 1.34
SB: 1.2
PLL: 1.54 [.4 extra]
CPU Volt: 1.416 cpuz - 1.37500 bios
and put memory voltage to 2.2 as says it wont ruin my warranty

gona try priming now for a bit and then a game of crysis for stability

also if ever needed in the future

could i put my cpu volt as high as 1.5volts as long as temps stay below 60-65c?

setter · 30 Oct 2008 at 20:35

One thing to watch with the p5q series is the auto or lowest manual voltage settings, particularly on earlier bios's. for 3.6 i have the pll, fsb term, and nb voltages @ +0.02v above auto, and my ram which is rated at 2.1-2.2v i run at 2.02v rated timings of 4-4-4-15 again due to overvolting with this board.

thanks setter

also how do i detect NB temp on a p5q?

Pneumonic · 30 Oct 2008 at 21:32

you dont unless you have a temp probe.. but they dont run hot shouldnt be an issue.. you should beable to touch it and it be warmish

setter · 30 Oct 2008 at 21:36

Tested mine with a temp probe a while back and it was running at 33'c, probly a bit cooler now that winter is setting in, gotta love this time of year for low temps
