Working my way up.

Q6600 # L737B255 (2.4GHz stock) Coretemp VID 1.2500v

Getting to 3.2GHz was pretty easy with a 9 multiplier. 1.3  Vcore BIOS, 1.288 Idle, 1.288 Load.

3.2 GHz

 Tried many times to go higher even with a Vcore of 1.5 and could not get it to run higher without high load temperatures or should I say  higher than I liked. So I dropped the multiplier to 8, raised the FSB and BAM !! off we went. I had to up the Vcore to 1.325 due to lockup in prime after 30 minutes. I did not change any of the RAM timings from those above.

3.4 GHz

Validate

3.6 GHz

1.36875 Vcore BIOS, no change in RAM timings

Validate

Prime 95 Small FFT, 1 hour

I've ran this setup with the RAM Unlink for a few weeks and decided to see how benchmark's would compare running the RAM Linked and Synced Vs Unlinked. The benchmark's above are with the RAM unlinked.

Linked & Synced. Memory timing 4,4,4,12

        Unlinked. Memory timing 5,5,5,15
