How to Overclock your Q6600 to 3.2GHz

[carllewis1966]

I agree with CazDog about the music nearly jumped out my window 3 floors up after watching this

[TheNiceguy1212]

Who's the artist of this song?

[kaloryfer99999]

"memory of type 6400" what memory are you talking about ? RAM ?

[klawklaus]

How the overclocking affected your gaming performance? Did you get higher fps in games? I also have a q6600 G0 and a HD4850. I don't want to change my video card until the new series of HD7000 or nvidia600 comes out. An overclocking would do for now. What cpu cooler should i buy for overclocking to AT LEAST 3,2 ghz?

[Arkwite]

Do I need Liquid cooling for 3.2 ghz? Or will a neat fan do?

Stock fan won't do, right?

[MrVojne]

@Arkwite Do I need Liquid cooling for 3.2 ghz? NO

Or will a neat fan do? I recommend a non-standard fan, but it will probably also work with a standard fan.

Stock fan won't do, right? Already answered that question!

[CHazDoG100]

music drove me fucking insane

[6hrvoje]

my q6600 works perfect,I overclock it from 2.40 ghz to 3.0 in 2 min :D.It s already few years since I overclock it and works perfectly in games:D

[TheHat3z]

hi , i want to overclock my CPU mainly to get more FPS in gaming and i need your help about cooling my system

[kurosag1]

can some1 tell me how to oc q6600 from 2.4 to 3.2 in pavillion ? and is it eaven possible ? btw i switched pwersupply from (original)liteon 300w to chiftec 550w one and changed gf card from some crappy nvidia to ati hd4850, if i try oc will my pc explode ? :D

[Petervt83]

what is this about ... :S i have mine without any problems and no high temp. at 3.4 ghz :S from the start i bought it still not having any trouble ... and im really a noob at overclocking just did my thing ...

[CoreMaster111]

I have my Q6600 @3.2Ghz xD and its stable on 1.46v... and nothing lower doesnt work xD... :( sadly i have VID 1.325v :( im so sad.

[trith72]

@CoreMaster111 That sounds about right for that VID. That's almost exactly what mine's on and it runs just fine, never goes over about 65C even under max load.

[rocklebest]

Can i get 3ghz with stock vcore

[marfg12345]

@rocklebest no

[FetchinimA]

hello my specs are Motherboard: IP35-E (Intel P35+ICH9/R)

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,4 (4 core)

RAM : 6GB DDR2

VGA :Nvidia GeForce GT 440 1024 MB

and man when i open dxdiag my vga approx memory is 3,8 gb

answer this as fast as u can please

[ManFraps]

So high temperatures! LOL it might be on full load.

[bnskks]

does overclocking if also done correctly reduce the lifespan of cpu

[cosmeedeez]

@bnskks The main concern is heat. If you provide better cooling for an OC processor to counteract the heat, you'll have no lifespan reduction.

[TheHat3z]

@bnskks does it rly matter?

i mean , mine is pretty old so using that makes it faster and imma upgrade soon so who cares

[brandonpeterson40]

Nice vid. Mine runs at 3.2 GHz and 1.392V completely stable. The only thing that gets my panties in a bunch is that my cpu temp is approximately 50C. Does this seem too hot for you??

[Cloudef]

@brandonpeterson40

IMO that's pretty low

[AstarteVX]

Well done video, thanks for keeping your camera steady and going through the screens slowly. Much better than a lot of the overclocking videos where the narrator is going at a hundred miles a second and flipping through the screens so fast that you can't see WTF is going on. Excellent job!

[mestahi]

my q6600 is at 3,3ghz air cooled(thermaltake frio) and 1.33 volts

[xAchiLLezZx]

I don´t have "MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)" !

Can you help me please?

[Marens777]

hey man, can u help me , i have Intel motherboard (DP35DP) and Q6600 CPu, can i overclock it , is it safe?(overheat)

[Timbaa87]

It doesnt really matter what kind of optional settings like EIST you use right?

[chriscolumbo323]

voltage is high i got mine at 3.4ghZ at 1.325 volts

[Romanmoga1992]

I have an AsusTEK Benecia p35 F8000 mother/mainboard and I need to know if it is possible to get the bios to let me overclock. My motherboard is OEM and "crippled" to stop OCing, please somebody help its eating away at me :(

[deadlastass]

I've been running my comp for over a year with these settings with no issues. Things do run hot so make sure you have plenty of fans to keep the inside of your case cool and I would suggest a good heat sink on the cpu - not stock intel.

Peace ☺

[davidkerr7]

1.41 inset that a little hight

[lordrevan1928]

If I have a liquid cooling system will it overheat with this overclock? I have the exact same CPU.

[MrVojne]

@lordrevan1928 no, you wont

[tinmandlin]

i love u man....not that im gay xD but now i did it. yess....thank you very much ;)

[MrVojne]

@tinmandlin :D

[tinmandlin]

@MrVojne yeahh....but i have to correct the answer when i installed cpu-z i saw that its not workin...i did something wrong....could it go on my motherboard ga-965p-ds3p? ty

[MrVojne]

@tinmandlin don't really know, try and if it doesn't work then i don't know what to do....try to change the cpu voltage and the memory multiplier to a value that don't oc your memory to much

[MrVojne]

@tinmandlin don't really know but you can try to change the memory multiplier so you don't oc your mem's to much also try to change the cpu voltage to a lower/higher value......when you save the settings to BIOS and the comp. restarts, if you enter the BIOS then, is the settings diabled/resored to default then?

[25janRaven]

@MrVojne ..... what is the setup "memory multiplier" for a 8gb ddr2 800 ?!

[weenershnitzel336]

@MrVojne would a 2.6-2.8 GHz OC be cool enough on the stock CPU Fan? and TY for he vid

[123backinyerface]

@weenershnitzel336 As long as your Q6600 is of the G0 stepping, a 2.8Ghz OC will be quite safe for stock cooling. Set your FSB to 400, drop your CPU multiplier to x7, RAM ratio to 2.00, MANUALLY set your CPU voltage to its "normal" value, DONT just leave it on 'auto'. Then reboot and try some stress tests, if you get errors or crashes then add 1 notch on your CPU voltage and try again, don't go over 0.5v higher than your 'normal' value, if temps are under 65C at 100% CPU, you're fine.

[2much2teach]

i just checked my pc and my multiplier is 6x and i'm running at 1.6, i tried these settings but the pc won't start, returned to default now and it starts, is it safe to put it to 9X multiplier without changing any other options ?

[MrVojne]

@2much2teach are you using the same motherboard and cpu?

[Bazmob33]

@2much2teach Yes, assuming you have the Q6600 2.4ghz (check on dxdiag) it is 100% safe to put it up to x9 multiply if it's only on 6. You are checking on the BIOS, right? Because when Intel SpeedStep is enabled it automatically puts it to 1.6 (x6 multi) when the computer isn't using much resources. However if it's set to x6 in the BIOS then it is safe to set it to x9.

[TheCompleXz]

Thanks for this video. I now have had mine overclocked to 3.2 ghz for over 2 months and it runs fine withour any issues.

[Spadejoker]

Thx, never tried with 8 multiplier before

[psycold]

god every single q6600 video only shows how to do it on a gigabyte mobo, I have an asrock and am new to overclocking, can't figure out how to get past 2.7 :/

[cmurrctown]

got eist disabled, followed instructions step by step but computer starts rebooting then restarts again with default 2.4 ghz settings

[cmurrctown]

I have the same board processor and ram as in this vid but i have no option to disable cpu eist in my bios

[darko5757]

Mr VOJNE,CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE,WHEN START UP PC IT SHOWS 8X400 3.2gHZ,

BUT WHEN PC is up in properties says 3.6..is this got to do with my motherboard GA-G31 M2SL DDR2800 FSB1333 AND nvidia 9500GT?

Thanks

[MrVojne]

no, i have the same problem, but if you set it to 8*400 at the mainbord settings then is it 8*400, not 9*400

[darko5757]

Thanks a lot,went to a few computer service stores none would ve done it even if offered to pay well,at the end with no exp whatsoever,followed your vid and it went to 3.6khz!!! running at 46-49C

motherboard GA-G31M-S2L.Dont ask me how,but it works,set 8x400,voltage as shown,my graphic card is NVIDIA 9500GT

4G RAM.

Thank you Mr Vojne

[atomdragon4]

What is that you used to find out temperatures?

[MrVojne]

everest ultimate edition and and a gadget for it

[atomdragon4]

My CPU temps are 39-44 idle...but when it gets really cold it becomes 30-44...one of my cores never drops below 44! help!

[kaimanson]

hi guys!, i'm getting the blue screen of death here...error 0x000000050. I running a Q6600 on a gigayte p35-ds3l. with 6gb ram (2 gb ocz reaper and 4 gb samsung both are 6400) I overclocked to 3.2 with 4gb (2 ocz and 2 samsung) it ran stable for one day....then added another samsung 2gb ram...and the nightmare begun..lol....any idea....Another question i don't know why on the bios under tweater my Memory Frequency (mhz) is 667 intead of 800 any idea?...thanks Guys!

[r4du94]

when i increase the cpu frequency i save the changes and when it reboots it goes to the system checking and when it comes to the memory rate it reboots again with the default settings :( can somebody help me please?

[MrVojne]

have you changed your memory multiplier? and applied the same settings as me? are you having the same motherboard?

[r4du94]

i have an older computer and i can't change the multiplier :(

[r4du94]

i used your video as an example for overclocking my cpu

[CutOutSock]

Overclocking is fine, it will almost never damage your parts, unless your an idiot.

[andre5075]

i got

Coolermaster 690 with 3 fans

good airflow

gigabyte motherboard

850w power supply

and a ARTIC COOLER for my Q6600.

Can i OVERCLOCK 2.4 to 3.0 without problems?

[MrVojne]

yes, or maybe, there is always a risk with OC'n!

[phorms123]

get a new real fan and put it behind your cpu and itll be fine

[STELIOS155]

what can i do to overclock my pc to 3.0Ghz???

[MrVojne]

same setup as in my video? if yes just set the CPU Host Frequency to 375 and try to set CPU Voltage Control to the same value as in the video and the do a stability test on your system

[Pre808]

why did u put the cpu multiplier at 8 and not leave it at 9?

[STELIOS155]

what memory type are u talking about?? 6400? can u explain?plz

[andre5075]

can i overclock from 2.4 to 3.0 with a stoock cooler and a coolermaster without damage?:D

[MrVojne]

yes

[RaVeN19Dizzle]

I wouldn't advise it. It will overheat bigtime and could end up damaging more than just your CPU.

[MrVojne]

it's always risks with OC's, but so long you have controll on the temps then it should bee any bigger problems, but like RaVeN19Dizzle says a OC can damage more items than your CPU, for example you motherboard

[STELIOS155]

well i did the same things u did to ur OC ,but when i start the pc the system is restarting and restarting. or even a blue screen come out.What to do now?I have done the same thing u did except overvolting ram.i also have 667 dimm ddr2 sry 4 my english i i make mistakes...

[MrVojne]

try to set the System Memory Multiplier lower then 2 or leave it at 2 and set the CPU clock ratio to 9 and the CPU Host Frequency to 350 or 355. The reason to why you comp. always restarts is because of that your memory gets to OC with the Memory multplier at 2 and CPU Host Frequency at 400, with that settings your memory wants to run in 800 mhz when they are built to do 667 mhz. You can also try to only change the volt on the ram.

[STELIOS155]

ok thank you

[hockey14822]

I thought the q6600 had a locked multiplier, but I clearly see you changing it from 9x to 8x.

[MrVojne]

it depends on your motherboard

[RuffyD22]

.... 1.41 is too high?? well, if i testet my Q6600 with under 1.4V, my PC always crashed at Prime....

should I go highter than 1.400V??

[MrVojne]

it depends on your motherboard, i rec to use a software like cpuz to see the volt on the cpu

[tyler13556]

when i press del at the right spot all that comes up is "start windows vista" "repair diagnostics"

help

[MrVojne]

are you having the same motherboard? if not try some of the F buttons, i recommend to test the ones between 5-12 :P or rty the tab or caps button

[capozzolone]

Man the vcore depends on cpu sample.

In general 1.41 is too high for 3.2 ghz, you must check the processor's vid first

[sgnx]

second that

for me 1.325v does the job, which i think is kinda high already

[booody999]

u have the best video!! do u know y ? because u answer the ppl who r asking(happy face) ur the best

[MrVojne]

thanks, i'll do my best :)

[booody999]

should i get a macbook pro or a new desktop with intel i7 but the macbook pro has a really great proccesor with over 2.83 ghz so.... tell me ammm planing to buy one of them

[MrVojne]

i have choosed the desktop because of that i don't like mac's :P

[mrxselr8]

Thank You,

I'm now running 3.2GHz (Windows7 shows3.6GHZ thou!!!) Everest is showing idle 23c̊, load is 30-32c̊.

Anyway i'm running Q6600, 8Gb Corsair DDR2 1066 8500C5DF, Warlock 1100w PSU, Gigabyte GA-EG45M-UD2H, Zalman CNPS7000C-Cu LED, Thermaltake Armor+ Black (8 Fans), 1Gb 256Bit DDR5 Powercolor VGA, 24' 1080P BenQ, Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5000 Laser.

[MrVojne]

nice set up!

[mrxselr8]

Thankx Man,

After looking into things more. I ran the Everest stress test the temp went way up to 46c̊ then I Converted a DVD to Div x and it only went to 32c̊.

So I'm not real worried about the stress tests result as the most I do with my machine is convert.

Anyway for Christmas I'm getting myself an i7 920 with Gigabyte x58 extreme board and 12Gb 2000MHz ram and then maybe watercooling down the track and then I'll call it quits for a while LOL

Thankx again

[fourblades]

I was wondering if these settngs would be the ame for EGVA MoBo?

[MrVojne]

if it looks the same, it will probaly works

[booody999]

ammmmmm its not q6600 but it could right ??????i have a t2330

[booody999]

ammmm sorry i didnt answer u before 1 month i am here to give my laptop name

dell-inspiron 1525

[MrVojne]

I recommend to not OC a laptop, it to small and compact and can't get rid of all of the hot air that will be produced

[longstar88]

hey guys plese helpe me

i have : core 2 quad q6600, same motherboard the p35 series, a great cpu cooling, corsair dominator 4gb, ati 4890 graphics.

i followed what u did in the video, but when i save and exit, my comp restart again and switch into safe mode(previous set up). hence i cant over clock my pc.

any ideas? please help me

[MrVojne]

have you checked so you changed same things as me, because if you hasn't it could get that type of problem, have you set the cpu volt as mine? and what's your memory speed?

[PeSiCkU007]

I got the same processor as you, but i have a GA-P35C-DS3R motherboard. If i set the settings exacly as you, will it work? (I have a sweet cooling system so that's not an issue) Oh yea and i got a GTX 295 if thats important too ;)

Thx.

[MrVojne]

just try, it should work :)

[skittlesrock6]

You really shouldnt overclock a laptop...

idk if you can n e ways...IDK

[Passy85]

question on all tutorial they set a 100/101 lock on pci express frequency why u did not ?

GreetZ P

[MrVojne]

don't really know, i have tried to set it to 100/101, but i doesn't marked any different

[booody999]

hey please tell me if i can overclock mine

1- i have a laptop

2- my ram is 1014

3- my ghz 1.6

4- is it possible to overclock my laptop from 1.6 to 3.2 ?

please answer me

[MrVojne]

first tell me the name on your laptop

[imboor3d]

yeah but ull get melted plastic all over ur balls

[MrVojne]

yep, that would bee nice to see :)

[rubik224]

no .

[openingfuel]

Thanks so much. My temps are still very low so im gona go ahead and see how far i can get =P

[thebullitproofguy]

lol i nowXD

[thebullitproofguy]

i got a 750 watt on my pc because i got a xps 710

[MrVojne]

interesting info to know..........

[BStillRemainsB]

will i be able to overclock my q6600 with a 500 wat psu? I know i have to proper cooling.

[MrVojne]

yes, if you have i psu with high quality

[deadlastass]

Dood worked like a charm on my Ep43-DS3L with a Q6600 and ocz 6400 ram.

thx man I've been trying to overclock this thing for ages. BTW running stock hs and fan, but I think I'll grab a heatsink and fan now. Maybe an arctic cooler pro - there like 30.00

thx again.

[MrVojne]

no problems

[deverstator007]

Is this on the stock fan, Please reply soon

[MrVojne]

no, i'm using a Zalman CNPS9500LED

[DaUltimateKilla]

I have the board, too :) Really cool ..

My E7300 runs up to 4,2 Ghz ;) (Aircooled) :D

5*

PS: Nice music ;)

[ArfaIsJesus]

Ah no worries, the V8 is a coolermaster massive cpu cooler.

[sprayframe]

is it safe doing this? i mean, overclocking it would be cool but if i brake something my dad would probably dis-own me :(

[ArfaIsJesus]

Thanks for the tutorial :D I'm going to overclock my Q6600 when I buy a V8.

What's the name of the song?

Cheers.

[MrVojne]

V8?

[MrVojne]

i don't remember the name of the song :P it's one of youtubes songs

[Roflcoptertje12]

Would this also work on a nForce 630i/7100?

[MrVojne]

don't known, but try and tell me if it does :)

[Roflcoptertje12]

Actually, I'm not sure if I have enough power supply, just opened my computer 2 days ago or something, and only have 250 watts :O.

[velo50]

Lmfao clearly a crappy pre made computer from a store

[MrVojne]

are you really sure? prove it then

[velo50]

Oh shit That wasnt aimed at you lol. Sorry gave it to wrong person

[MrVojne]

and ho was it aimed to?

[lunartris19]

wtf is that like the oldest computer in the world

[MrVojne]

no, it's one year old and still have average spec. to play the latest games

[MrVojne]

what should i shut the fuck up with?

[crysisen]

i meant to reply to

lunartris19 who said about your pc the oldest one in the world sorry

[hacking4hire]

what do you set the SPD to if you have pc 8500 ram? (1066mhz)

[MrVojne]

if you set it to 2.66 then will you get the stock speed on you memory, if you want to oc your memory the try to set it to a higher value

[alex1sports]

dude how far can you go on this processor with the stock cooler?

[MrVojne]

i don't know but i think 3.0-3.2GHz

[MrVojne]

maybe higher

[Galltrial]

hey voj i got the gigabyte board and i overclocked my cpu to 3.2 q6600 with a new cooler max temps around 60-65 idle is around 40-50 i wondering do u think i could go higher without damaging my cpu in the long term? cheers alex

[MrVojne]

the rec. max temp on one core is around 90 celsius before something bad will happend to it, i have tried to oc my cpu to 3.8ghz but then the temp gets very high and my system crashed (around 80 celsius per core). so i reccomend you to oc your cpu to a

level where it works with stable temperatures and on a level where your system doesn't crashes all the time

[IlPorseo]

If i buy the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz and do what u do in video it become 3,2 100% with no risk?

[OmgItsDedi]

hey man

we have the same pc except the video card

anyway

can you help get my q6600 to 3.4?

what voltage should i use?

currently i have 355FSB, 1.3 CPU Voltage and 3.0 SPD

How do i get stable 3.4?

thanks!

[MrVojne]

i don't really known :P, i have mayself tried to get my to 3.4 or higher but without good results, you just have to try and try and try and try even more

[OmgItsDedi]

aww man ok

well i know that i have to up my voltage or ill get stuck on the windows loading but im afraid of doing that because too much voltage and my q6600 will be fucked up

[MrVojne]

ok, but it's always a risk to overclock your hardware :P,

[Louis0nFire]

Hey man, I have a question. I also have the same mobo and cpu as you. I was wondering if you regret getting the gigabyte ep35-ds3 because you cannot run SLi. I have had people tell me that it's not a big deal, but I'd like the option for the future. Right now I have an 8800GT 512mb. It's fine for what I need at the moment. I'm happy, but what made you choose the motherboard?

[MrVojne]

the first reason to why i choosed the motherboard is that that was in a package offer that I really want to have, the second one is because it looks great and

meet my requirements. I was was you, then had i wait some time until I had bought a new motherboard and a SLI graphic card

[bitchslapper12]

Hi I'm gonna get this card

Gigabyte EP35-DS4

Do you recommend it for my q6600 ???

[MrVojne]

i'm having the ds3 and can recommend it for q6600 but a ds4 should works fine as well :D

[neardood1]

sweet i've got an EP45

[Mistic64]

Is this manipulation the same for a GA with an EP45 chipset ?

Thanks

[MrVojne]

no idea :P if it looks the same, try to change the settings, and if it doesn't work try to set the vcore to some step over/under 1.41875V

[Krmaca]

great music

[MrVojne]

thanks!! :)

[radekrp90]

What is the name of first song?

[MrVojne]

the name of the first song is

ZZ Top - La Grange

[quickwolf]

LOL my pc was at 3,6 ghz when i did this tutorial

[MrVojne]

it depends, have you checked with different program or just one?

becasue if you set it to for example 400*9 = 3200 then will it become 3.2GHz, but some programs shows wrong and shows that your CPU Clock are set to 3.6GHz

[frankie827]

nice

you should push it a bit higher though :P

i hit 3.6 easily on air with a b3 revision

[MrVojne]

ok, what does you set your vcore to?

[roperrr]

Skit bra video, har likadan CPU och nästan likdant moderkort(Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS4), så bättre överklockningsgudie kan jag inte hitta. Men jag undrar, Efter att har gjort alla dom där instsällningarna som du gjorde i BIOS, vilket program körde du för att kolla så att allt funkade och att det var stabilt. stabilitets program så att säga. Jag har råååå problem att hitta program som jag kan testa min stabilitet efter att ha överklockat. Jag har Windows Vista 64 bit.

[MrVojne]

jag kör med Everest Ultimate Edition för att kolla temperturer (det som visas i filmen)

jag håller på med en film där jag testar stabilitet och temperatur förändringen.

men subsrcribe mig så får du veta när den kommer upp, kommer troligtsvis imorgon
