Hi guys, i've got build pre-overclocked. Its a Q6660 at 3.02ghz.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-108-OK
I have a few questions guys, as i'm really keen to get into some overclocking and have been studying it:
1. how can I tell if my Q6660 is a G0 or B3? I know that the G0 has a higher thermal heat specification see - http://processorfinder.intel.com/List.aspx?ParentRadio=All&ProcFam=2774&SearchKey=
so does that mean that it can run at higher temps when overclocking?
2. When looking at CPU-Z, my Bus Speed is 336 but my core voltage is a whopping 1.41!
Does this mean that they put the voltage up unnecessarily high for my FSB or is this normal?
3. If this voltage is too high, I could probably get away with adjusting the FSB to 380 for 3.4 GHZ and not notice a higher temperature right?
Speedfan measures my temps on idle:
System: 19C
CPU: 32
AUX: -29
CPU: 42
System: 27
PWM: 55
Thanks for the help guys and i'm sorry if these seem like moronic questions
