@klote2314 then why the hell did the first overclocker keep overclocking if it "killed" his cpu?
-
damn it works thanks for the tutorial

I can vouch that anything over 1.5 for this cpu is too much. i recently got a new setup and used my same cpu (the 2.4ghz) and the voltage was at auto, which apparently is the highest it'll go. I was getting temps of 60 just idling and 83 when gaming. I put the voltage down to 1.15 and bumped the cpu to 2.65ghz. I can probably go more but im too lazy right to tweak with everything.

How long could you use it? 30seconds?

@klote2314 yea 1.6 is crazy high. Right now I've got my q6600 to 3.6 on air and my highest core temp is 46c at 1.43125 i think it is vcore. I plan on lapping later and going to 4.0 just to. and i shouldn't have to go over 1.45 or 1 or 2 above that lol

@MrTex1987 hyperthreading is proprietary to intel. you should get your facts checked. oc within limits is a very efficient way of maximizing chip performance, with an oversized cooler there should be no drawbacks in oc'ing. Cheers

125% oc would be more than 4 ghz on a q6600 i believe you would have to hit 5.4 ghz for a true 125% oc and even at 1.6 volts a q6600 ain`t doing that maybe nitro maybe LOL

@torontoraps8 i would like to know the answer to this as well cause i don't have a stock cooler.... i'm new to this whole pc thing and don't wanna buy new parts since it's so damn expensive but overclocking seems to work fine.
DONT OC LIKE THIS DUDE IT WILL KILL YOUR CPU!!
CPU VOLTAGE AT 1.6 IS TO HIGH AND WILL KILL YOUR CPU!!!
THUMBS UP IF U WANT TO KEEP Q6600 ALIVE!

More than 1.5V not, never good.
