Default Q6600 2.4 anyone over clocked it ?

I've purchase a silent Knight 2 so cooling is not an issue .. but I was looking for a stable 3.2gzh ??

Has anyone gained this with an Asus board ? If so feel like sharing the settings?

Use these at your own risk!

CPU FREQ 370
DDR2 740
PCI 100
PCI Clock Sync 33.3
Spread Spectrum Disabled
MEM Volt Auto
CPU Core Volt 1.300
FSB Term Volt 1.300
NB Core Auto
ICH Voltage 1.057

On my ASUS P5B. Memory is running well below par as it falls over if I go any higher. I've not tried tweaking the DRAM voltage to get it to go any faster.

This is the old chip, pre SLAC0R or whatever it's called and has been running my gaming rig since July?aug last year.

Artic Freezer Pro Air Cooler (if that makes a difference)

I just upped the fsb on mine to 333 to give me 3Ghz. No increase in voltages needed. As stable & as cool as default.
Not bothered to explore further yet as it is plenty fast enough at that for now.

I'm only running the stock fan/heatsink - but fancied the overlock to 3Ghz. What heatsink/fan are you running Daz34?

Did you notice a temp increase and to what? Mine is at 30ish degress C right now.

All chips are different pal One persons settings might not even be close to what you need. Look up speed binning and you'll start to understand why.
Go to a forum like Overclockers UK Forums - Powered by vBulletin learn about the various tools and techniques and have lots of fun.

Tuniq Tower with fan on low.
Idle temps across the four cores range from 25-30c with CoreTemp (don't believe your BIOS reading).

true but the trial and error method is reduced with some examples based on the same chipset !

I can start at higher or lower than I normally would based on the suggestions here and work from there, instead of speading hours with stress testing !

Thanks guys

Coretemp showing temps in the 30-40's for all four cores
