I finally built the new rig in my sig and I thought I would share my results. I built it last week and started to OC yesterday. Right off the bat I set the CPU to 333mhz x9 @1.25v. I ran Prime for 5 minutes then decided to bump the FSB to 400 and the multi to 8. When I did this I forgot to set my RAM bus to DDR2-800. My motherboard automatically adjusted the RAM for me and set it to 966mhz or around there (~483mhz FSB). I didn't realize this until I booted into Windows and fired up CPU-Z. I'm surprised my RAM was able to handle the boot into Windows. I set it back down to DDR2-800 speeds and have left my PC at the current 400mhz x8 @1.25v. My goal before I started was to go for 400mhz x8. Now I'm wondering if I should/could go to 3.6ghz @ 400mhz x9 .
I'm very happy with how easy the Q6600 OC'ed and how cool it stays. My previous PC was a P4 Northy cooled on water. What a huge difference keeping that thing OC'ed and cooled compared to this Q6600.
