Ok guys here is the low down I have a Q6600 stepping: B revision: GO and I want to overclock it to 3.0Ghz or 3.2Ghz if possible.
Below are my system specs.
CASE: Antec Three Hundred Gaming Case
CPU FAN: ThermalTake Spin Q CPU Cooler
CPU: Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
GPU: EVGA GTX 260
MOTHERBOARD: MSI P7N SLI-FI 750i
RAM: NVIDIA SLI OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 clocked at 800Mhz (2GB each and there are 4 sticks)
POWERSUPPLY: 850 Watt Thermaltake Key 3 Spirit
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
I have applied thermal paste to the CPU before putting the CPU Fan on. My CPU V-Core voltage is at stock and my bios version is American Megatrends version 2.1, I dont know if that helps but there you go.
My CPU core temps at idle are:
46
45
42
43
My CPU core temps at load are:
57
51
46
48
My CPU temp at idle are:
27-36
My CPU temps at load are:
36-42
So if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it because as you can probably tell I am a noob to this overclocking stuff and just wanted some people with experience to help me out.
