Gigabye P35-DS4 Rev 2.0

[panoramarts]

For CPU cooling: TR 120 extreme. Northbridge having stock cooler. Memory having stock heatsink. what are the positive (+) limits on volts for each component when trying to achieve maximum OC. How max you can volt but preventing damage.

CPU: 1.45V (max for Q6600 on air)
Northbridge: ?
FSB:
DDR:

FOR motherboard P35-ds4- rev2.0

ok if not voltage, what are the temperature range for northbridge, FSB and CPU (max 60C i believe). So as to prevent damage on components. Again using stock coolers for p35-ds4 rev 2 and TR 120 E for CPU with 174 CFM fan.



anyone???

If I remember right the G0 Q6600 Intel spec is 75c (shutdown 100c) and 1.5v max but probably not adviseable. Just over the 1.4v mark should get you to 3.6GHz. I will see if I can find the datasheet.

I'm currently stable (Prime95 all cores for 9 hours) at 3.5GHz 1.37v 438x8 with FSB voltage up one click. DDR2 is running at 876MHz 1:1. CPU idling in the mid-30s and mid 50s at full load using CoreTemp 0.95.4. I have a fan on an arm blowing cool air for northbridge and RAM. My TR 120E is lapped but my CPU is not yet. I am still in the process of overclocking but keep wanting to stop to play games lol and to check full stability of course.

I stand corrected, it is 71c for q6600 and 0.85-1.5v

Q6600 SLACR G0 specification

You mean 0.85-1.5v.

oops typo - corrected.

Cozumel what is your NB volt? and DDR volt?

My DDRII is currently at 2.2v just to ensure that any instability is caused by CPU while I overclock but I will adjust down or up depending on what is needed once I start working on the RAM. You need to check Patriot specs and forums to find out what voltage the Patriot can take but remember cooling.

The same with the nb. I will adjust dependeant on what I need for overall stability. The most important thing is cooling as the chips will heat. I wouldn't really advise overvolting the chipset, northbridge or FSB voltage much above +0.35v (over the stock voltage).

Edit: Jeez, I typed this ages ago but never hit reply and then started playing a game. lol
