So I picked up my new Heatsink fan and started trying to overclock, I put everything on AUTO and tried the following...
400 fsb x 9 = BSOD
385 fsb x 9 = BSOD after seconds of loading Vista
365 fsb x 9 = BSOD after 2hrs in Prime 95. Crysis BSOD after 15mins, VCORE autos at 1.44v
355 fsb x 9 = STABLE after 10hrs of Prime 95 (blend), VCORE autos at 1.4v
Idle: CPU@23C MB@33C
Load: CPU@45C MB@38C
I wasn’t really expecting the 400x9 to work but I’m really surprised I couldn’t even hit 385 FSB for 3.4Ghz, almost ever overclock I’ve read about with this chip has attained 3.4GHZ. So I suspect perhaps I was doing something wrong, can anyone provide any advice?
Also, although I have the Q6600 Go revision it looks like i’ve got the ones with the high VID, its at 1.315v. I’m alos pretty sure this is why I can’t go higher because it puts the Voltage at over 1.4 and it gets unstable?
Can anyone provide some insight, I’m not overclocking my RAM at all while doing this, as far as I know.
Also, when sighting my CPU temp should i use the “CPU TEMP” or the highest core temp from one of the 4 cores?
Thanks,
