Ok so I have a Q6600, it has G0 stepping, is cooled with a xigmatek HDT, and in the Antec 900. The Vcore is 1.3V (That's what it says on my BIOS but cpuz said 1.15V but that was changing around) and the FSB is 1.425V (Again what it said on BIOS. Right now it is at stock speeds. Oh and the multiplier is 9 but scales down to 6 at times.

Ok, so I'm just wondering how I should go about doing things. What sort of increments to push the FSB up by, and once I hit the edge of my voltage how much to put the voltage up by. Also what is the max I should put the voltage to?

I know this is a lot of questions but help would be much appreciated.

And if it matters my stock temps are 25C idle and 35C load (after 10 minutes, but never got over that for the next 20).

Also does Prime95 give error messages if the voltage is too low?
