want to overclock processor to 3.0GHz but excuse me I have some questions about that.. Does overclocked Q6600 to 3.0GHz have same performance as E8400 in games?? Can I overclock Q6600 to 3.0GHz without any change in voltage and what about its Temperature...

a new platform and CPU, i'd buy an aftermarket cooler/water cooling and overclock your Q6600, the difference between 2.4GHz and ~3.2GHz on a Q6600 is probably bigger than you'd think. Lol, this forum is closed. He already bought an I7. Sorry :( You're...

its max continuous power load. Bob, Thanks for all the help so far, just one last question. My Q6600 is currently holding at 39 degree Celsius when I am just surfing the net, doing some MS word no gaming yet at all. Is this temperature sort of normal...

Overclocking Q6600 to 3.0Ghz. Well let's see I recently got a Corsair H50 liquid cooling system put in and wanted to see how far I could take my Q6600 as I was plan on upgrading my GPU to the 5850 card. Anyways I noticed that by simply even overclocking my...

thank for the explanation, it makes all sense. My plan is to originally overclock the Q6600 to just 3.0 GHz by raising the FSB to 333 and leaving the multiplier alone at 9X. I have 4Gbs on two sticks of DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) memory, and I think I can overclock...

after that are the main timings (clock cycles). In general, the lower these numbers are, the faster the memory. For more on memory timings, see . • The first part is self-explanatory (DDR3 memory). • The number after it is the data transfer rate....

it yet, but I recently starting diving into 1:1 ratios and memory timings. It's sorta confusing. I wanted to overclock my CPU to get from a 2:3 ratio to a 1:1 ratio, while getting the most out of my CPU, since I know you can overclock the Q6600 way up. Ideas...

the market as the real world difference between the Q6600 and the Q9550 is not a night/day one. you might also consider a mild overclock for your q6600, I normally dont recommend it for business PC's but the q6600 easily goes to 3ghz (stock 2400) I've run...

stupidly hard. Since I intend on using this comp until Neph becomes available I just set the memory at 800 (1:1), tightened the timings a bit, dropped memory voltage to 1.9 for insurance, and declared victory. At those settings, the DIMMS remain just barely...
