So i have a q6600 and have managed to get it to 3.26ghz. The main issue i am getting is the FSB doesn't want to budge much and the only solution seems to be cranking the HT link voltage. the NB voltage doesn't really have much effect. So far im at 1.44 for the northbridge and 1.5v for the HT link. It seems every 100mhz increase in FSB needs to have a bit more voltage. Now reading around other forums, people are hitting 1600FSB quite easily with no where near the amount of volts im putting into the HT link with the same motherboard and CPU. Do i just have a crappy board? is there something else i can do? is it safe to go beyond 1.5v for HT link? I cant find a program that monitors the actual volts for this but im suspecting that maybe its getting some Vdroop on the HT link, but i dont want to go beyond 1.5v as it seems to be quite high.........
