The Old Q6600 OC

[samtan]

Now after a couple of years with the stock Q6600 , I decided to give it a shot in overclocking

Screenshot

How am I doing? Any tips?

*CPU-Z reads 1.288V <->1.296V on idle ,
*Idle temperatures 38 C <-> 40 C
*Load temperatures 58 C <-> 60 C
*Any voltage lesser than that , core 3 starts to fail prime95.
Maybe I should decrease NB voltage and test again? its currently 1.36V / 45C load.

Thanks a lot!
