Trying to get a q6600 quad to 4.0ghz what sort of volts for 24/7 use ?

[jigger]

Just past 3.9 but it looks like the voltage will be getting on for 1.5 volts to hit 4Ghz.

Would 1.5volt be OK for prolonged use ?

A Q6600 is near on invincible, how are you cooling it? I happily ran mine at 3.8Ghz with 1.58vcore for a couple of months.

With good cooling 1.5+v should be fine, i had one at 3.8ghz on 1.52v on air cooling, ran it for months before selling it on.

vcore wise the 65nm core 2/quad are pretty difficult to kill - aslong as cooling is good. I had an E6600 running 3.8gig on 1.65v using water cooling for almost 2 years and its still working fine... not that I would reccomend running above 1.5v tho if its not a "throw away" CPU.

1.6v should be your tops assuming your load temps are ok

The temps seem very good, 1.475v and still in the lower 50's under load.

remember to post in the quadcore database when you are stable

Cant get the swine stable. Anything over 444 x 9 and it will fold for around tens minuets tops. At 450 its the same, windows stable but falls over after ten minuets of folding.
