What do I win?

My Q6600 at dads house is 3.72GHz from 2.4GHz. Will up a photo next time I'm there.

Edit: Decided to throw in my HDD performance. It's not even an SSD. Its 2x 15kRPM SAS drives in RAID0 (Notice the access times )

Ahh yes. I miss my intel cpu too, Q6600. Now I have a AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black. It sucks but I do like AMD's prices. They are what you pay for.

Yeah, I have that too, but it hasn't got anything on the i5's and the i7's

It still overclocks like a boss though. Being able to put the vCore to 1.5 was a large advantage back in the day when overclocking actually took more skill having to tweak FSB and clock skews instead of just adjusting the multiplier and maybe vCore

Temps:

Core 1: 62c
Core 2: 66c
Core 3: 65c
Core 4: 56c

OCed to 4.7Ghz. Stable at 4.7Ghz. Going to try 4.8, 4.9 etc until I get some errors.

Nice bro. I completely forgot that on i7's its basically impossible to get a 1:1 dram/fsb ratio haha. None of that shit matters on i7's when tweaking multiplier right?

Failed to get it to 4.8Ghz. Not sure that if that's true. But only thing matters when overclocking a sandy bridge CPU is that you change multiplier and voltage.


Also having some fucking issue with CPU. It keeps down clocking it self to 4.990Mhz. When I have it at 4.5Ghz. Any ideas on to fix this?

You've diabled Inteliboost or whatever it's called? On my QuadCore, there are a few options in bios for power saving and shit (I.E. On quad core it drops the multiplier from 9, down to 6 to power save). Make sure all of those are off.

Yer that one and the "Intel® Turbo Boost Technology" one. The Turbo Boost was the one I was thinking of. Try disabling it and see how it goes. It's purpose is to disable 3 of the cores and then OC Core 0 (Which is kinda pointless when you're manually OC'ing like you are).
