Maximus Formula with twin4096-6400 & q6600

[FjrDave]

Looking for some base setting to over clock my q6600. Have 4g (twin4096-6400C5DHX). Air cooled with Tuniq tower looking to get 3.2 to 3.6 ghz.

I am running the same board with 8gb ram . My q6600 runs 3.0-3.6Ghz. Temps at 3.6 gets a little warm. Hits 70C with CoreTemp running Prime95 small FFTs. Vcore at 1.35. Northbridge and PLL at 1.4V. Ram 800 Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 1.9V. Transaction Booster Disabled 0.

 

At 3.4 Ghz and DDR 900. Vcore at 1.3V and Ram at 2.1V. Cpu Temps 55C -60C fulled load with Prime95.

Have been running memtest trying to get my max fsb keeping the 1:1 ratio. cant seem to get it to go past test #5 @ FSB of 425 (Ram 850). Any ideas.

 

have tried 5-5-5-15 and 5-5-5-18 @ 1.9, 2.0, & 2.1v always fails on test 5

WOW! If my QX6800 gets over 40c I have a COW. At 70c you are a true O/C hard rocker! :O)

 

P.S. How long have you let this configuration run? And how stable was it?? I just wouldn't have the Guts to let a high Dollar CPU like that run at 70c for long.
