I got my Q6600 back in 2007. It used to OC well. I have been using it under 3.6GHz ever since I purchased it along with my ASUS MF.
Only recently, Blue Screen started to become frequently. At first I wondered whether it has something to do with my newly purchasd another 4GB set of GSKill mem.(Now I run 8GB) I lowered my mem speed as well as increasd NB voltage. The situation seems to become a little better.
Tonight I decided to upgrade my MF BIOS from 0505 to 1207. I really regreted of doing so. For now I am never able to stay at 3.6GHz stable.
I set the Vcore to around 1.38V, which used to be the sweet point for my Q6600 at 3.6, now constantly shows BSOD. I bring the voltage to 1.46V. It did help the system to stay alive, but all kinds of system errors pop up. Neither 1.46V nor 1.36V could get 3.6G run OCCT longer than 1 min!
The temperature is quite strange. From the OCCT readings before crash, core 1 temp was close to 80C, while CPU temp is around 65. I am not so sure whether this is related with BSOD or not.
So, is my Q6600 going to die soon, or it is just losing OC potential?
Oh, I miss that 3.6G. Please help me, thanks!!!!!
By the way, here is my rig:
Q6600 G0
ZALMAN CNPS 9700
ASUS MF
GSKill DDR2-1000 8GB
HIS 4870
Antec TP3-550W
