Q6600 oc question

[Nikola Kzmanovic]

Hi i have a q6600 GO  (XEON S775 x3220) paired with a hd 7850 1gb gddr5.

I overclocked it to 3 ghz with to stock voltage of 1.25v.

I can get 3.22 ghz with Vcore of 1.32v but my concern is my motherboard, I don't want to blow up the vrms.

The board is ASUS P5Q-VM it has 4 Chokes on it is that 4 phase? It does not have VRM cooling on it and I am using a Thermaltake contac 16 tower cooler which does not blow on the motherboard, my load temps are 52c while gaming. On the web it says the motherboard supports 136w tdp cpus.

Can anyone please give me some advice?

Use msi kombuster and cpu burner from it. Then check temps from hwmonitor while you do it.

I would not risk the board. G45 chipset based mobo are not good clockers.

tested it alredy on vcore 1.32v, 3.2 ghz, prime95, 2 hours cpu gets about 60c to 63c, heat is not an issue, I am worrying about the mobo vrms

G45 is not Oc-ing well, I have no issue getting 3.6 ghz stable, with 1.425v  but i would no run that for sure without causing fire

1.5+ is the highest i have seen

 

1.6 and you are risking your mobo VRMs

Grab a P45 board.. something like the MSI Platinum.

Got some new info on my mobos vrms 

 

The mobo has a 4 phase power delivery system with 4 mosfets for each phase and 100% japanese made solid capacitors for the vrm system and whole board, is that decent?
