QX6700 OC Results

[theseeker]

I am strongly considering a switch from my E6600 to a QX6700. I would like to know what you people achieved with OC'ing the QX6700.

In a word, no! I just want too see if the QX6700 has a lot of headroom for OC'ing. I have read many reviews, but I am looking for the enthusiast findings.

just look around on the net, ive seen sites get it up to 3.73ghz using water cooling, with that kind of overclock you would be sitting very pretty.

3.2 easily, with zero effort. Both by raising the fsb, or the multiplier. It's stupidly easy.

Yep, stupidly easy. At least, with the striker extreme and evga mobo's. I didnt have to touch the voltages to achieve 3.2. So I imagine greater than 3.2 is doable, but I'm good with that.
