fsb on q6600

But he's overclocking with a quad core. I'm not sure if a quad core can go that high, with stability.

true enough. i have read somewhere about a newer mobo capable of reaching over 500 fsb...cant remember which one it was, though. and also i am unsure if it was a quad core being tested. thats pretty blistering.

 

[b1gapl]

The thing about a quad core reaching those speeds is heat. I think the heat is what will prevent the overclock from going further.

 

[Nagasama]

yessir, i would imagine that it generates a great deal of heat at that high of a clock. really, i bet they are pretty warm all the time.
he could always wrap ice in saran wrap...

im pretty sure the multiplyer is locked on q6600

 

[b1gapl]

Yea....Only the extreme editions can change the multiplier. I think, although I'm not sure, you can't increase, but you can lower the multiplier on the Q6600.
