Strange overclock

[wonder44]

Hi.

I have been trying to overclock my Q6600. The reason the tittle is Strange overclock is because my PC feels more snappier at 3Ghz than 3.4Ghz? I understand that 3.4ghz should be faster, so why does it feel sluggish at 3.4Ghz but not at 3? thanks.

Have you set the CPU voltages? If not, your PC slower down, unstable, and even it go blue screen.

yes i raised the voltages as i overclock. i have some experiance in overclocking however i was just wondering what you guys think about it. Because it seems rather wierd to me

Its fine now. i managed to get my Q6600 to 3.5Ghz with a volt of 1.47v so it feels nice and fast now
