that is funny you say about dual core being better, another person told me quads are good to overclock with this board. 🙂
Well how you doing? I'm not certain about the duo and Quad thing. I had tried my Q6600 on myX48-DQ6 and it didn't but it was a different board to so......... My 8600 loved that board.
I had a 5.3Mhz with it too but didn't catch a link

thats because you went from a 65nm quad to a 45nm dual. most Q6600s were dogs but some could get above 3.6.
my q9550 did 4.1 ghz on my EP45-UD3R. most of them will do at least 3.9. has little to do with "dual vs quad' and everything to do with 65nm vs 45.
NO SHIT REALLY, I got my Q6600 up to 4.0 Ghz, With phase I could have gone way higher....Another high jacked thread
hang on larry i'm sure he has some electrifying comeback for you too. since we're wrong and he's right and all Q6600s can do 7 ghz with the stock cooler.
