Q6600 overclocking

Post by skier »

as the title says, my VID is pretty high, 1.32500v, but as you can see below it runs just fine an' dandy at significantly lower (1.21875 in BIOS, which equates to below at prime95 blend load)
1.168v reported1.jpg
temps havn't gone down too fast, but they have gone down

anyone wanna guess what is happening? or maybe guesses to my max clock on it :mrgreen:

lowest stable 2.43GHz: 1.136v
lowest stable 2.6GHz: 1.160v *testing
