probably the easiest bit to the q6600 to 3Ghz

FSB 333
Vcore 1.32

I had a Q6600 but my dad has it now and its set to 3ghz, if it gets a little unstable just up the v a little that's it to be honest

3.6Ghz FSB 400 with a V at 1.34 or 1.36

thanks, but to be honest I didn't understand ...should I change only FSB & vcore?
is there an application for that or changing from bios?

you should change everything from Bios.
And yes your should change both FSB and Vcore, do what bloodduty has told you and you should be pretty close to stable.

however every cpu is different, when I had my Q6600 to get it to 3.6ghz I need 1.4V.
which I didnt like coz things started to act up, so I ended up on 3.4ghz at about 1.35vcore

thanks for your replies

in bios set fsb to 333

else use setfsb if you can't do it in bios

I set it to 375 & it seems ok
