Hi,
just an update after a lot of faffing about with a Q6600 with a vid of 1.352v I ditched it in favour of a Q6600 with a vid of 1.2625v the original Q6600 was from L750B102 week batch it really was a lazy chip no matter what voltage you put through it and I managed to get hold of a L732A920 week batch chip with a vid of 1.2625v and see for yourself this little beauty really does fly!!!
my idle temps are 36 deg whilst benching it gets to 60-62deg

I have performed a pencil mod trick on my P5KC and again after a lot of messing around I managed to minimise the Vdroop to miniscule proportions touch wood everything seems to be performing as it should at the moment!!!
those are the only screenies i have uploaded to photobucket at the moment it is stable playing crysis for several hours (which really does push any system to the edge) p95 stable after 3 hours i will post soon I relaxed the timings because the board would not post at tighter timings I am still experimenting but would welcome any positive input as to tweaking the bios settings to either (A) run at 4-4-4-12 2t timings or (B) full speed at 5-5-5-15 2t timings which are the timings printed on the memory heatspreader. Do you think the vcore is maybe holding back my system and would it benefit from a little more voltage if so what would be a safe upper limit for a Q6600 please??
Many Thanks
