Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (G0) + ASRock G31M-S R2.0

You have to increase the Bus Speed from 330 to 350 and you would probably get 2800 without touching the voltage… Otherwise, keep increasing the voltage. I don't know if the memory will be able to do 400, maybe you have to increase the Voltage by 0.1. Then keep increasing from 330 to 340... to see if you can get to about 400.

You can also try leaving the memory at 330-333 and putting the multiplier to 9. Remember that the memory, being DDR2 667, works at 333 so it's not easy to stretch to 400 = DDR2 800

It probably won't boot, but keep increasing the voltage by 0.1 until it boots. Don't be afraid to go over 1.3. From 1.4-1.45 it's already high, but you don't have a VID as bad as mine so you shouldn't require much voltage.

Normally, if the memory doesn't go much higher than 333, you have to be satisfied with leaving it at 333, forget about getting to 400 and leave the multiplier at 9. Then keep giving the micro juice at 0.1 at a time. The idea is to get 333*9 and then fine-tune from there.

I'm going to sleep ;D we'll continue tomorrow

Of course my problem is that my BIOS doesn't have the option to increase Vcore, so I can't do anything… although now it's at 310x9 and the memory at 2.14V and I have no problems, the memory is at 462Mhz (or something like that) but it's causing a bottleneck, I would need more CPU frequency for the memory to work better.

If you can't touch the micro's Vcode, you're in trouble to go much higher than 2800, I'm sorry, there's little that can be done. For example, I have the OC without touching the memory voltage.

Most likely the problem is with the G31 chipset motherboard, and that's what's limiting it. At my house we have my ex-Q6600 G0 that on a GA-P35 I had it at 3-3.2Ghz, beyond that it was hard for me to push it (probably not messing around enough) and now it's on a GA-G31 and it's so limited that you wouldn't believe it goes over 2.8Ghz, it's more that lately it doesn't even... I don't know why and it's on default.

Anyway the Q6600/6700 will pass as some durable micros the truth

And another problem with the boards with the G31, is that they don't support more than 4GB of memory, so that's another thing that limits them to put more memory and be able to last longer, but well... in my case it's more than enough for what it does.
And, in the future, if I can use it again and put it in the pc2 of my company, on that board I can probably overclock it more.

Neptunno is right, I myself checked it recently with 3 motherboards and my E6600.

Asus P5KPL-CM (G31) = I managed to set the E6600 to 2.4@3.1Ghz but you had to increase many things and the voltage increases it makes are not reliable, so I ended up leaving it to standard.

Asus P5K-VM (G33) = Here I managed to have it at 3.4Ghz with the same micro, and on the P5Q at 3.5 but because it allows voltage increases.

I imagine that's what everyone tells you, an increase to 333 is perhaps the limit of that motherboard, but it's clear that it depends on the type of micro you use, it goes up more or less.

Regards!

and if the truth... well I'm satisfied with 2.8 and the memories in 800... for now it's going well... later I'll change the motherboard and micro... with the 7850 I have enough for games.

[amd125]

I think you are doing well. A well-overclocked Q6600 still performs decently in games, but you have a motherboard that limits you and only two Gigabytes of memory. Rather than changing the motherboard and expanding the memory, it would be cheaper to change platforms and sell your components, unless you find a bargain on the second-hand market, so stretch the platform as much as you can.

The micro at 2800 will cause some bottleneck to the graphics card, which would work better with a higher micro, but it would be worse if you had a Dual Core. The Q6600 still performs decently even at 2800.

Soon I will change… I had a Gigabyte GA990FX-UD3 something like 4gb DDR3 1600MHZ GSkill and a Phenom 2 x4 965BE Revision C3 and I was running at 10. But at that moment my 5870 burned out and I sold it because it was overheating…

In an online store they sell P5Q's from outlet at 25€ elcamaleon, in case you are interested they carry the P45, and up to 16GB DDR2, in addition to 8 SATA ports.

I appreciate it but I am from Argentina… if I lived in Europe I would pay for a PC of 2000€ right away. but here everything is expensive... -.-
