Kinda off topic but how far do you reckon its possible to get a Q6600 G0 without increasing the voltage?
I got a Thermalright 120 Extreme with a DFI Lan Party P35 and Corsiar PC 640 Memory.

Dude, you will need to up the volts to hit 3.6ghz
Yeah thats what I thought.
I believe that would be correct, as the memory is "Double Data Rate", i.e. your CPU is running @ 400 therefore your memory would run at 800 (if 1:1).Quote:
I couldnt find any mention of memory timings, but going off what chadders said, if i changed the memory multiplier to 2, it brought up the correct RAM mhz. Does this mean my timing ratio is now 1:1?
If you ran the Q6600 stock, it may cope. Upping the clockspeed and voltages and I would be surprised if anything available would stand a chance of cooling a quad passively.
I'm hoping to get a Gigabyte Aurora 3D 570 case and by the look of the 2 120mm fans at the back (along with the PSU) I just thought maybe it would shift enough air for a 120 to passively cool a Q6600 at 3Ghz. I guess I'll stick in a fan just to be safe.
Have you checked your temperatures yet Andeh? Your system should be well able to handle more.
Thanks for all your help guys. Unfortunutley iv moved out of uni now & wont have access to my PC till september. As a result im leaving the o/c for now & ill pick it up again in september, will no doubt post some more then! :)
