Hey guys, as the title suggests i'm in need of help with overclocking my Q6600 which is currently clocked at a stock 2,4GHz.
I've tried going to 3.0GHz by upping the multiplier from 266 to 333. When i ran the Prime test the pc just froze completely after ~ 10 minutes. I have increased the voltage to 2.75V, but no luck yet again. I'm wondering if anyone has a lot of experience with this CPU and what would be the best setting for my PC
PC SPECS:
P35C-DS3R (Socket 775)
Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz (Stock)
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 333MHz (5-5-5-15) - I don't understand the 333MHz part - I'm running 2x1GB @ 1066MHz + 2x1GB @ 800MHz
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
I have an ATX sized case with decent airflow and i'm looking into overclocking my CPU since it's outdated and i want to squeeze as much juice as possible before i upgrade.
Help is much appreatiated,
