I have a new Intel quad-core system Q6000 GO stepping, watercooled. CP
stock speed is 2.4 Ghz. I've been able to get the FSB up to 385 MHz x
= 3.465 GHz. But at 390 MHz the FSB eventually causes problems in m
stress test. (My temperatures are under good control).
I have the CPU voltage control up from stock of 1.30 V to 1.40 volt
System Memory Multiplier at 2.66. (I have 4 Gig of high quality RAM OC
1150 MHz DDR2--PC1150.)
FSB OverVoltage control is at +0.10V; G(MCH) OverVoltage at +0.05.
I can get into Windows and run my stress test, sometimes for 2
minutes, but then Windows shuts down the app. Other times, on movin
the mouse, I get a black screen and reboot, and so have to go back t
385 FSB.
From what I have read, 3.8 GHz CPU speed should be doable, e.g., with
fixed 9 X multiplier, I should be able to get the FSB up to aobut 42
MHz.
Any suggestions?

3.8GHz may be doable with a few processors, but not any E6600s or Q6600s on
air or water cooling that I have seen or heard about. My Q6600 G0 will do
3.4GHz on liquid cooling but starts to get flaky at any FSB over 1500 or so.
3.4 is a good OC for the Q6600 G0. Heat isn't the issue for me, my processor
just won't do anymore.

My E6320 goes over 3.03 Ghz on X38-DQ6 so E/Q6600 should go even further.
