Hello, i'm new here, i will buy a sunbeam core contact freezer( max 1 week ), and try to get the processor at 3.6 ghz, what voltage can i put...i'm a noob child .

 

I done a 3 ghz with stock cooling with 1.3 V but 50-60 C idle ...

 

PC Specs :

 

P5K-SE/EPU

HD 4870 Gainward GS

Corsair 550 W

WD 3200 AAKS

4 GB Corsair CL5 @ CL4

and of course...Q6600

the cpu is too much hot in vcore 1.3!

is can be because u are use the intel stock I use too q6600 and my cooler is ac frezzer 7 pro and vcore is 1.35 speed 3.6

and is nothing.

u must change your cooler before u start oc.

goodluck

Currently 3.51 GHz and 1.45 vcore (idle) or 1.40 (max load for 24 hours with dual orthos).

 

Yeah I wouldn't suggest oc with stock cooler because it won't do good when you start benchmarking or playing. I suggest to look some silent pc reviews to select good cooler or something. I'm using kinda unknown NorthQ 3340WLA Extreme

 

Edit: Also is your Q6600 G0 or B3 revision? G0 generates less heat and ocs better

you can push that quad pretty far mine will hit 4.2ghz. just get watercooling they will run hot on air

isnt also important to increase the mch-voltage and FSB-voltage?

yeah its really board dependant though. on my m2f if I increas fsb/vtt volts it can mean the difference but on my biostar it changes nothing.

First time posting, and I'm quite new to overclocking. I have a Q6600/Gigabyte UD3P/Xigmatek HDT-S1283, and was able to reach 3.000Ghz just by increasing the FSB to 333. Didn't have to increase any voltages.

 

But going beyond that point was another story. After much trial and error it is now stable at 3.258Ghz. FSB set to 362, SPD to 2.40B, CPU Vcore to 1.325, and MCH at 1.24.

 

Even if I could get it stable beyond this point, it would apparently be running too hot to tolerate anyway.

As others stated,the first step is to get better cooling than that stock air, then you can pump lots of Vcore into that thing and get closer to 4ghz, depending on your cooling!
