Help me reach 3.6 GHz with my Q6600

[NosBoost300]

With that VID i'd guess its going to take around 1.45v

Heh, 4ghz stable takes around 1.6v (ask me how i know) But i can run it with load temps only hitting 69C.

my qx6850 with a vid of nearly 1.3 does 4.0ghz on 1.42v but hey, i just got an awesome chip

i did a 4.2 ghz run 3dmark passable, and intel burn test 5 loops with 1.55v

both my old q66 and 67 both did 3.6 around 1.37-1.4v

try a 450 x8, and up your voltage to aroudnd 1.42 for vdrop. and then run 5 passes of intel burn test (IBT)

I suggest 10 passes for maximum stability

 

[NosBoost300]

i thought 5 was max?

just run 5 twice i assume.. lol

When I run the Intel Burn Test should i put maximum stress or what?

 

[NosBoost300]

yes you should

So i got bad news I tried 1.42 vcore do the burn test BSOD, i try again at 1.45 vcore BSOD again.. any suggestions? While my cores were at 100% load for the 10 seconds before i got BSOD temps were 67C across all 4 cores, do you guys think Load Line Calibration has something to do with this or maybe my RAM? I loosen up the timings to 5-5-5-15

what motherboard are you using?

Newegg.com - ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

go down to an 8x multi and a 450fsb, then up your volts as needed. lucky me i only need 1.36 v for 3.6ghz.
