Overclock Q6600

What a decent bus speed on the Q6600 with a stock heatsink and stable.

Depends if your RAM can take upping the FSB i think. Just slowly increase it by tiny amounts each time and watch the temps?

Don't even try it with a stock cooler.

You can change so RAM isnt linked to the FSB i'm sure :P

Bus speed on a Q6600 makes no sense. The bus speed comes from the motherboard, not the processor. That's the clock speed. Edit: i take that back, sorry :P. 380Mhz for 3.4Ghz would be a decent OC

Anyway it really depends what the VID of the chip is. The higher the VID, the lower the chance you have of attaining a high overclock.

1.3250v

I reckon i could get to atleast about 3Ghz on stock heating and stable.

Ouch, that's a high VID. You could give it a go though. Report back :)

I'll try about 10pm when i can be bothered to restart comp..

I got a heatsink some Coolermaster one or something in other computer but can't be bothered taking it out as it required work and i plan to buy watercooling about december (if i bought it now i'd get moaned at :P) so no point wasting 20 quid or so for another part of the computer to stick in my drawer.

Can't edit above, but apparently i can't change frequency l0l.

Hmm, why won't it let you?
