Thread: overclock Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

I have Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor. I want to over-clock my Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600. Any help would be highly appreciated.

MY system configuration is as follows:

• Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 @ 3.4GHz

• Asus P5k Premium WiFi, Arctic Cool. Freezer7 Pro

• 2gb Corsair XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500

• Geforce 9600GT

• LG GGC-H20L BD\HD DVD

• Maxtor 160gb, Samsung Spin point 320GB

Here is a conduct for what you should modify to get a Q6600 to 3.4 GHz on a Asus P5k Premium WIFI motherboard with the bios update.

Check you have a decent cooler, just to be safe. I cannot getting blamed if it blows up.

• Get into bios (and it all set to default)
• Advaced tab

• Jumperfree Configuration

• overclock tuner - change to Manual

• CPU Ratio Setting - change to 9

• FSB Frequency - change to 380

• CPU Voltage - change to 1.3875v

• Load-Line Calibration - change to Enable

• Press esc key

• CPU Configuration

• C1E Support - change to Disable

That will get you to 3.4GHz; I also went into Power, Hardware supervise and enabled CPU Qfan and Chassis Qfan to help.
