Q6600 (G0) on EVGA 680i SLI Overclock Help Request

Unfortunately I dont know what you are talk about with respect to it working on some other test. I have never had that experience in the 5 years I have been using the software.

Hi All!

I also have a EVGA 680i w/ Q6600 CPU. At first I could not overclock the cpu at all, and due to work, could not spend the time to figure it out. Well, I finally thought, "Hey, maybe there is a bios update!". Wouldn't you know, I went form stock 2.40 to 3.30 an auto voltage. I just put a liquid cooling system in prior to the overclock.

I ran Prime95 for approx. 6 hours. You think I should run it for 12? My cpu temp gets around 60 after 8 hours or so. I believe highest safe temp for this cpu is 67.

Now my question. There is alot of opinions on voltage increases on overclocking. I have played around a little bit, but end up just going back to auto. My Crucial Ballistix PC 800, has been manually set to 4-4-4-12 timing, however, I did not change the volts to 2.2.

Is there any tweaks you would suggest to get a higher overclock? I was shooting for 3.4

Thanks for your time.

Phatboyhd,

Have you tried taking one of the graphics cards out and running crysis or Cod5waw on lower settings to see if one of your cards have gone bad? Do you know what temps your gpu's are running at? And finally, are you overclocking the the Q6600?
