Q6600 G0
G.SKill DDR2 800
EVGA 8800 GTS G92
Tuniq Tower
Vista Ultimate x64
1920x1200
3DMARK06= 13,961
https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.asp?ID=5559405

FSB= 400
CPU Multiplier = 9 (3.6ghz)
vcore= 1.505 (says 1.440v in cpuz, not sure why)

Memory Multi SPD= 2.0 (800/800)
CAS= 4
DRAM RAS# Delay=4
DRAM RAS# Precharge=4
TRAS= 12

Playing Bioshock the cores are 52C or so, running prime95 they peak out at 59C

Initial memtest and prime95 tests seem ok

I plan to run some tests overnight tonight (still deciding which ones)

Also, reading up on any additional BIOS settings I should change.
 
Sounds good to me. 3.6 is considered a good overclock on a Q6600. With proper cooling, 3.8 isnt far off. I would not go much higher voltage wise. stay at 1.5 or less. The 1.4 is from Vdroop, a common issue with all processirs. May even go lower under load.

( I went back and added a link to the whole system in the original post)
