Got my Q6600 G0 yesterday, I have it prime stable overnight at 3.2 ghZ (356x9) @ 1.5 volts (I'm testing it now with a little less voltage, still seems to be stable).

The problem, of course, is I want MOARRRR!

Are there any tricks to squeezing more out of it?

My temps are actually really good, 51 degrees C under full load on all 4 cores.

How do these things respond to water? Would I get much more out of it on water, since I already have a (fairly) good temp on air?

I'm running my RAM on a divider, so I know it's not limiting me.
 
Ouch 1.5 is one helluva lot of voltage just to get 3.2 ghz. :eek: 1.5 is Intel's max voltage for Q6600 GO SLACR cpus. A lot of em I've seen usually do 3.2 on stock volts or just a hair over stock. You sure you are at 1.5 vcore on that? I'm running my quad @ 1.425 for a 3.6 ghz clock. I would not think you would need to be over 1.3, 1.32 volts for 3.2 ghz maybe even stock though no two cpu's overclock the same, but still ....

What kind of board and heatsink you running?
 
1.5V in bios, or 1.5V read from cpu-z or speedfan or the like? Vdroop can be as much as .3V so you might not be giving the cpu as much juice as you think.
 
What are your other voltages? Are you oc'ing the memory? I can do 3.2 stable at stock voltage, which seems to indicate to me that one of your other settings is the culprit for instability at 3.2, not your vcore.
