E6600 Overclocking

[skyline889]

I've been testing out OCs on my "new" E6600 for the past couple of days and so far have gotten it stable at 3.3ghz (367x9) at 1.27v, 1.2v with the P35C's massive vdroop. My temps right now are about 33c idle and 46 under Orthos, so pretty decent, but what do you think the max I can push this chip to? I'm used to the super hot Prescotts so what do you guys think would be the highest, safe, vcore and temps?

I'd keep the vcore under 1.5V, though I'm not sure exactly what the temperature limits for that chip are. If I recall correctly, though, you should be ok as long as you stay under 60C.

Hmm, I'm Orthoing 3.6 right now to check stability but it's taken 1.45v (1.36v actual) and the chip is already running at 57-58 full load so I'm guessing this is probably the safest max OC yeah?

I have one at 3.6 stable @ 1.26 V. Guess it depends on the chip.
