Intel Quad Core Overclocking Question

[KRAM]

I'm looking at the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz chip and I am wondering how much of an effort it would be to run this chip with 400FSB @ 3.6Ghz?

 

Thanks! KRAM

on my p5b with the p965 chipset, i easily hit 3.2 ghz. its after 370FSB that i get stability issues. lookn at the p5k mobo right now to hopefully solve that issue

Thanks for the links Paul.

I do see people hitting 333x9 easy on air. 3.2 Needs a little bit better cooling, but can be achieved. I am not sure about stabibilty on air at 3.2

 

3.4-3.8 is where I have seen this thing actually go on a P35 board with water. Stable to

What's the best air cooler for the quads?

I use the Thermalright Ultra 120 to run my server with a Xeon 3220 (= Q6600). It's fine up to 3.2 GHz then it starts to get hot, but this is an old B3 quad not the newer cooler G0 version.

Checking that one out. Looks like most everyone using that has to lap the base on it.

It takes forever but will be worth it. Might as well do the CPU also
