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

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?
No option for it o.0
I can change memory timing, all voltages, FSB, multiplier etc but no frequency? :S
FSB is frequency
yeh i know l0l i found it now, before i only seen the speed for the ram but now i got it. :P
Ok got it to 3Ghz running at about 50-60°.
Gonna run Prime 95 in a min.
Did you BSOD? :P
Nope, i didn't OC too much i just set FSB to 1333 knew it should work fine with stock heatsink, atm its 47°c on each core with about 10-15% load :P
I mean, when you ran Prime95 what where the temps?
Try an Intel Burn test xD
Ah, na gonna run the Prime95 tomorrow as im about to go now, and just watched prison break :P
Make sure you monitor your temps if you do run this though else you'll risk damaging your CPU.

That is with a voltage increase to 1.495v too. But as I say, after my reseat it should be a little better.
My VID is 1.2625, quite a lot smaller than yours so I can overclock easier/better :P
I also changed my RAM speeds a bit to bring it 1:1 with my CPU.
Yeh i'll probably do 3.6-4Ghz after i get watercooling (if i get it) :P
Im happy at 3.6 for now, I might try and push it to 4GHz tonight, not sure :8
Can't get it to boot Windows a 1.550v @ 4.02GHz :(
Sorry couldn't edit
3.8GHz 1.50v boots Windows :D
EDIT: BSOD after Login :(
Install Super PI, what time do you get for 1M? :P
Hang on, so far so good with 1.45v @ 3.7GHz
Mines 1.4v @ 3.0Ghz lol.
Lol, ive gone from 2.6GHz to 3.7GHz and lowered my temps :O
SuperPI - 1M = 15secs
EDIT: Orthos BSOD'd me. Upped the v to 1.5 now
EDIT: Gone back to my 3.61GHz. I kept BSODing at anything over it
Sorry for double post.
Somethings not right here, it wont stop BSODing even back at 3.6GHz where it was but is fine at stock 2.4GHz :eusa_thin
1M is 18 secs :P for me :P
I need to get my OC back to 3.6GHz without BSOD first LOL
Did you change the Voltages back? o.0
Holy crap, brens rig beats us hands down...
1M calculation - 1min 15.141 seconds. LOL
pretty good huh!
LMAO. Bloody hell! How slow can you get?! :PQuote:

ill try now lulz
couldn't handle it and closed it's self :@
I get 14.535 seconds on 1MB
Stephen whats your av temp @ 3.6? + which cooler ^_^
