Overclocking Hall of Fame

[MongGrel]

Sorry about necro'ing the thread but I had to voice my opinion that Q6600 was a total dud when it comes to overclocking outside of a few golden nuggets. I even have a dead Q6600 in a drawer.

I would add E4300, E2140/E2160, and Opteron 144/145/146 to the list. I've gotten 100% OC out of E2140/E2160 and 50%+ out of Socket 939 Opterons.

Since then only 2500K and 1045T could do anything close to 50% overclock in my experience. (Of course lower base clocks help when the success is measured by percentage.)

Bah.

I had a Q6600 running when they first came out at 4.4 on air when they were new.

My sister-in-law still uses it.
