I've got my Q6600 (Rev B3 Step 7) running at 360 x 9 as well on a Abit IP35 Pro mobo with an ASUS Arctic Square cooler (air) at its rock solid and CPU temp is at 31c idle and 52c under full stress. I have been able to clock it up higher but opted for 3.24Ghz as a sweet spot temperature wise.

Alright my peoples, i just got my hands on 4 Crutial Ballistix 1GB PC2-8500 CL5 EPP sticks. So let the overclocking begin. Any suggested seetings. Remember im still on air cooling but not on the stock heat sink. I have an Asus Artic Sqare...

So Vcore only? and you are on air cooling?

 

Yep only vcore change and air cool only using an Asus Arctic Square in a Antec Nine Hundred case (1 200mm fan (top) 2 120mm fans (front), and a 120mm fam (rear) runs really nice and relatively cool.

Same here running at 4 GHz 24/7 on my Q6600 G0 and P5K-VM with vdroop mod ;)

Cooling Thermalright Sl-128SE and SilenX 12cm...

My geekbench score is in the signature.

 

Hi Allsop can you post your Bios settings voltages etc. And what type of memory.

You don't actually need fast RAM... Running at any ratio other than 1:1 usually yields worse performance, or in the case of the really expensive low latency stuff, performance that only looks better by a hair in totally artificial benchmarks. You've all been brainwashed by the memory companies!

 

Decent quality low latency PC6400 is all you need today.

 

And don't get me started on DDR3 - all faster RAM will become useful with the releases of the next Intel platform, when Intel chips gain an integrated memory controller, and memory bandwidth isn't limited by FSB.
