Here I celebrate the opening of my new tech blog and passing the SIX SEVEN hour mark of stress test on my Q6600 processor chip.

I successfully overclocked the 2.4Ghz to 3.2Ghz and running it on stress using Prime95 utility. The temperature readings are as follow:

• Room temperature: 21.8°C
• Motherboard temperature: 35°C
• CPU temperature: 58°C max
• Core 1-4: 65°C max

My humble system’s Hardware are:

• Gigabyte EP-45T-DS3R
• Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Stepping with OCZ Vendetta 2 installed
• Sapphire ATi Radeon 4850 with Zalman VF1000 installed
• Western Digital 7400rpm 160GB Hardisk drive
• Pioneer DVD ReWritable Drive
• All assembled in NZXT Hush Casing (Black)

and my overclocked settings are:

• 400MHz x 8 = 3.2GHz
• DRAM frequency: 1333MHz
• CPU Voltage: Auto, reading 1.34~1.36v

I’m quite happy with my newly built rig. I’ll update more about my rig later. Stay tune!
