How much more should i try?

[Allsopp]

Ok my q6600 is currently clocked to 3ghz ram is still on standard settings and everything is dandy.


Been playin AOC for 13hours solid 2day an alot yesterday aswell so it's been stressed enough to show if it was unstable.

I'm currently hitting about 48 degrees as my max temp during these gaming sessions cpu Voltage is set at the standard 1.315 i think it is.

How much more would you think i can coax out of the cpu on air cooling?


p45 DFI bloodiron MB

8GB of Pc6400 DDR2 Ram Think its PNY if this hold it back im gonna get sum low volt blades at at end of month.

The temps and voltages seem reasonable, run OCCT or Prime 95 for a few hours to confirm it's stable.
The memory should not hold you back at least till you hit FSB 400.

Right now I have 8GB of OCZ low voltage Platinums on the BI P45, they really are the same as the blades just with different heatspreaders; it seems that after a couple of days of trial and error I finally got them stable at the rated speed of DDR21066, although I needed a little bit of overvoltage, 1,88 instead of 1.8.

Not quite sure just how good that Akaska cooler is but you should be able to run 24/7 on 1.4V and that should be good for at least 3.4gig, I would obtain the CPU overclock on a low ram divider to ensure that does not factor, once OCCT stable then start tweaking the ramspeed and voltage up. .... good luck!
