Help over clocking Q6600 on P35-DS4

u should read OCing 101 in the CPUs n OCing part of this site it is at the top
u just go into the bios on increase the FSB by 1 or 2 an exit saving changes boot up your OS restart an do the same thing until it wont boot it just restarts as soon as it gets to the loading screen for your OS so in your BIOS increase the voltage by .025 an save an try an boot again if it does not boot again increase it by another .025 an try again if it wont boot after 3 volt increases u have hit your limit keep a eye on the temps dont want to go above 60 on load to see what your CPu is running at use a program called CPUZ after u got it to what u want it run a program called prime 95 over night an if one of the tests fail your CPU is unstable
 
Thanks for your help, but this cpu + my motherboard are easily over clockable, this cpu can go all the way up to 4ghz.

my motherboard is apperently an "ok" over clocker, So I don't know why its having trouble, I just need a little help from some one, to start me off say at 3.2 ghz

400fsb 8x and help me with the other settings and ill work from there
 
They can't go up to 4GHz without liquid cooling or better, unless you have one of the rare chips that can hit 4.0 with a fairly low voltage, because once you get to the 1.55V+ range the temps are really too high for any air cooling solution.

Since your a novice overclocker, I would say hitting 3.4Ghz would be good, since you probably don't want to mess with RAM voltages and timings to get a higher overclock.
 
yes yes, I know you would require water cooling.

But I need help getting this cpu to work!

if you read the post you will see what I tried and results, and if you look at those pictures, Maybe tell me the settings I should put in for what you would think "Should work easily" for around a 3ghz-3.2 ghz mark, and I'll go from there

Oh I'm sorry I didn't even see the link, lol. (I'm also a member there).

First I would disable the spread spectrums, and C1E. And I would bump the FSB right up to around 300, leave the RAM and voltages on Auto for the time being, and see if it will boot up. Continue doing this until it becomes unbootable, then start increasing the voltage and setting a lower memory divider.
 
You lost me :p

Ive got it to boot with a 333 fsb 9x multi, but it was not stable :(

I don't quite undeer stand the memory/ram side of over clocking :(
 
when u OC a CPU the ram OCs a bit as well thats why some people drop DDR800 to 667 b4 they start to OC or 667 to 533 or whatever basically they drop it
