I've got a q6600 with vid 1.2125. The highest stable oc I have achieved is 3.4 at 1.35vcore +.2nb and +.2fsb with idle temps in the low 30's and high 40's-low 50's running prime95. I have had it up to 3.5 but it took 1.6vcore and idle temps were 58-60. From everything I have read this doesn't seem right. I know increases in speed require exponential increases in vcore and I know every chip is different but it seems like I should be able to push this chip a bit higher. My systems is:
q6600 go
ga p35 ds3l
4gb corsair dominator pc6400
Zalman 9700
Antec 900
I'm certainly not disappointed with 3.4ghz but I am curious, if there is a valid reason, why it won't go higher.
