Overclocking Q6600

[morbidangel666]

 

Hi everyone, I have a Q6600 G0 @2.4GHZ and 1.275Vcore.

my Pc is a Dell T3400, 4GB DDR2 800MHZ, 525W PSU and an ATI V3600 (will be upgraded to GTX 750 2GB OC).

 

since I can't overclock with bios I'm gonna do it with SetFsb and I've tried it in past too but can't get it over 2.9GHZ and get BSOD.. it's stable at 2.9GHZ though? my FSB:DRAM is 1:2 is it because of this? or because of my weak gpu? I want to overclock it to 3.0GHZ just 100mhz more, most people can OC to 3GHZ without changing vcore even with vcore lower than mine? Please I need help, if it's because of gpu let me know because I'm gonna upgrade it anyway.

it will probably be your ram and i don't think you'll be able to change it, so 2.9ghz will be your limit.

Well, if you need setFSB for overclocking don't expect to go high, as it OCes everything tied to FSB.
