I drove my q6600 at 333MHz X9 for 2997MHz

Then I played with 8X multiplier at 400MHz

And got this?

Is my CPU running this fast?
It is running cool also.

Can someone direct me to a good beginners overclocking site.
I want to learn more.

Thanks

:cool:
 
To answer your questions.

Yes it is running that fast, Q6600 are the shit.

You are on a good overclocking site.

Go to intel processors forum....and have fun.

And to add one more thing before you go...
G0 ftw!
 
no, you are not running at 3.6. its just a misread by the program (thinking your cpu is 9x)..you are really running at 8x400=3.2....run cpuz ...you will see

I thought that might be the case.

I set it back to 9 x 333 (2997).
That seems to be where it runs the best.
I need to learn more about the multiplier and frequency settings and how they work together.

Thanks

Yeah CoreTemp is kinda messed up in reading the CPU frequency there, same for me. I'm running 400 x 9 relatively stable @ 1.32v right now. But yeah, head to the intel processors for more specific Q's about your chip if need be
 
Wait you're running a 3.2 Q6600 with a 1.2 vcore? You've overclocked and undervolted? :confused:

What? I hate my PC! How did you get such a high overclock for such low voltage? Mind sharing your other voltages and motherboard? You're talking about a Q6600 right...?

They have G0 chips. Yours is probably a B3. That, and it's OCing -- 3/4ths is luck.
 
I have a G0 chip. I expected better results than what I'm getting right now.

*cries*

Yeup, i don't mind. My rig i am referring to is in my sig, its the one titled "main rig". I'm running a q6600 G0 at 3.2Ghz (400 x 8) with a Tuniq Tower 120 (LED), ABIT IP35 Pro, 2x1GB Buffalo FireStix PC2-6400, all housed in a SilverStone TJ09.

vCore is 1.32, ddr voltage is 2.1, 1:1 fsb to dram ratio, 5-5-5-15 timings.

Temps are reported 28-30 from BIOS, and coretemp reads 2 cores usually 4-5 degrees higher, and the other 2 cores around the same as the BIOS (so like bios/everest would read 28 deg celcius, and coretemp would read 2 cores are around 29, and the other 2 cores are around 34). On running prime95, reading the temps after a few hours would get it around near high 40's to 50 degrees on all cores.

Mine is pretty much the same. I idle a little cooler, but almost hit 60 under load.
 
And.. I just noticed. shit, sorry about posting that I am running at 400 x 9, typo.. meant to write 400 x 8. Sorry about that.
