i've manage to get my q6600 @3ghz with a vcore of +.1 in bios which aknowing my VID is 1.32 that sets me at 1.42.. most of the other settings are auto except cpu GTL 65 and FSB term 25. I've gotten the q6600 at 3.2 but not stable and i've hit voltages of 1.48 and NB 1.47 SB 1.6 still cpu gtl 65and fsb term 25. Today i ran a stress test in everest and my temps hit 68 or so which i dont like.. my question is can the heat cause the stress test to fail, or stop? What do you suggest as far as voltages go that i should use for a stable 3.2, my QRD FSB is 1421 which gets it at 3197 so almost 3200mhz. I could post some bios shots if needed to see my voltage setting options.. Im running my ram linked and the bios sets a weird divider and runs the ddr800 at around 790 so i dont think my ram is the problem(im able to boot, get to windows, run stress tests and even some benchys).. Before i ran the ram unlinked set at 800 but never really was able to get to 3.2ghz
Thanks for your help. I know there are a lot of different q6600 and msi p7n overclocking threafs out there, i've read them all and as you all may know everyones pc will overlcock differently.. so no one elses settings i've tried work
