Hi,
well I pushed this chip a little more and managed to get up to 3.8Ghz at which point the cpu was getting a little too warm at idle for my liking well 44 deg is a little hot or maybe it isn't anyways for 24/7 use I think I will back it down to 3.6Ghz which I think is plenty fast enough for...
Hi,
thanks for the replies, I will try thectrlf1 trick to see if that helps unlock any further options. as regards running at stock speeds the ram will run quicker than 800 I have had it at 937 at a lower overclock and my northbridge is already overvolted to 1.40v but for some reason whilst at...
Hi,

Hi,
just an update after a lot of faffing about with a Q6600 with a vid of 1.352v I ditched it in favour of a Q6600 with a vid of 1.2625v the original Q6600 was from L750B102 week batch it really was a lazy chip no matter what voltage you put through it and I managed to get hold of a L732A920...
pencil mod 100% success!!!
After several failed attempts I have finally managed to get zero vdroop and also a great reduction in vcore from 1.4875vcore to 1.3250vcore prime 95 stable therefore my faith in pencil mods is greatly increased and after many many hours of varying degrees of pressure...
Cheers polygon hope that is the case I am at the moment putting 2.1v through ram however I see from the website that it says on product info 2.1-2.3v I am tempted to put 2.3v through these sticks and try to tighten the timings to maybe 4-4-4-12 2t what do you think my chances are?? I also hear...
Hi,

Hi,
have picked up some server memory and was wondering if it could be used in my wifes pc she has an opteron 146 running on Asus A8N-SLI SE Socket 939 Motherboard if it is ok to use then I will throw it in her system to give it a well needed injection in the arm but I did not want to install...
Well mathew the reason I am not taking my Q6600 up to 4Ghz is because I am struggling keeping stable at 3.4Ghz with a heck of a lot of Vcore to get to that I am creeping towards higher a overclock but as I am sure most people will agree slowly slowly catchy monkey in other words small steps will...
