January 27, 200719 yr I am in no way an expert on overclocking and if you do try any of this then I take NO responsibility for any damage incurred to your hardware or software. Please check out the relevant overclocking reviews and information (and don't forget your motherboard manual) as it is your responsibility to take care of your hardware. The information below is merely my own experience and opinion.Hi all,I have had this Quad Core for a while now and was checking out PC Format magazine who were running a couple of stories regarding overclocking hardware. I thought I would checkout what I could do with my QX6700 and found that by increasing the multiplier in the bios to 13 I could get 3.47GHZ out of each core very comfortably with minimal temperature increase. I went up in stages and rebooted each time to apply the changes and monitor the cpu temperature just to be on the safe side. I found that my system did become unstable if I increased it to 14(266x14=3.72GHZ) or 15(266x15=4GHZ) and so I settled with 13 to give the 3.47GHZ which means the temperature is around 50
February 7, 200719 yr I noticed Dell offers their QX6700 quad over-clocked to 3.4GHZ. Alienare doesn't sell an OC quad. Why???That Dell puppy is the one I am going to buy next week. As of today, Vista is not available on it (though Vista has been out for 2 weeks now). They claim the drivers for the 8800 are not compatible with Vista. Alienware has the 8800's with Vista. Has the world gone mad.The Dell with quad core and 4 GB ram and dual 8800 GTX's and a 24" flat panel, the cost is $5700. The Alienware is $7000You think I'll see >20 fps with the LD767 in FSX with everything maxed out? I still doubt it. Paul Gugliotta
