help with q6600 unsure what to do

[dang3r]

hello am new to ocing and i just wanted to show u guys my oc on my q6600 with stock fan ... and i was wondering why this happen .. when my cpu is at max load the Volt go down and when it at normal load the volt go back up is that normal? .. and i just wanted to show u my oc ss and can u guy tell me what u think is it good for a q6600 r bad ???.. can it be over clock more with stock cooler...
my system am running
q6600 at 3.006 at 1.31v (when i try and up it to 3.40g at 1.34v it work .. but keep restarting ???is 3.006 my max??)
2 gig ram ddr2 8500 cir
video card ati 3780
PSU 500 w i buy like 5 years ago ..

hey how do i post my ss it didn't work .. sorry am still nooby here

3.0 might be your max with the stock cooler. Honestly, the Intel stock box coolers suck badly, and I wouldn't overclock 1Mhz with it. If you want to get a decent overclock out of it, and don't want to kill it, buy a new cooler. Until then, stick to 3.0.

Watch your temps. If the core temps goes past 65C when stress testing using small FFTs for 8hours, you should bring the clock speeds down.

well my temp is only at 30-35... and at max load for a hour the temp hit 58-62 .. 62 was max i ever see it go up too

Get a better cooler (Tuniq Tower 120 or a Thermalright) and raise your voltage to 1.4v.

After getting your system stable at 3.4 on 1.4v, bring the voltage down in small increments at a time to find your lowest operational voltage.

Then stress test it.

Also, an hour isn't long enough to determine your "max" temperature. Prime 95 runs different tests over the course of 24 hours or more. At only one hour, you might not see the combination of variables that will peak your cores.

Run it for 8+ (I recommend at least 12, but that's personal preference) hours Small FFT and make sure "Round-off checking" is enabled under the Advanced menu.

Good luck!
