So I believe I have a basic B3 chip, but am not really sure. Through CPU-Z, it says I have a B3 but with a revision G0. So in reality I don't know what that means. I also ust have a basic P5k motherboard, not the deluxe. On the white label on the mobo, it has green in parentheses. I'm running OCZ 4gb ram DDR2, a Cooler Master V6 GT cooler on the Q6600 chip I got, with a Nvidia 8800 GT GPU, with a 650watt PSU.
My question is, is my Q6600 chip a G0 stepping (CPU-Z shows G0 next to revision).
Secondly, can I overclock the Q6600 even if it is not G0 stepping? If so, how far?
Thirdly, how much can my mobo support of the overclocking if anything at all?
Would love to get this info asap. Sorry for some of the noob questions. I was getting the parts 5 years ago kind of in the dark. Also if this helps, the manufacture date of the cpu was 7/3/07seen through the BIOS settings.
ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
