ok, i have an asus p5q pro, and a q6600 G0, but ive reached my experience limit at 2.9ghz! I know ive probably got a dud, but it would be nice to get to get beyond 3ghz.
ATM, i have all voltages on auto except cpu vcore on 1.325 (for 2.9 ghz) I have to set it beyond 1.4 @ 3 ghz to get into windows, and it still fails prime 95. My guess is that i need to increase some other voltages, but i dont know what, so i thought i should set exerything to a reasonable maximum, say 1.45 for cpu vcore, and whaterver for everything else, overclock it and minimise voltages later.
My question is, what other voltages should i change? and what would be a reasonable upper limit?
Oh, i have a Xigmatek hdt s1283, and my 2.9ghz load temps on prime 95 large FFTs (max heat one) average 48C and sometimes reach 49C
