A few days ago my Gigabyte motherboard GA-P35-S3G, Intel processor quad core Q6600 and 4GB G-skill ram came in from Newegg. I installed them into my old Full tower pc case, removing an MSI MS-7220 mobo, AMD 4400+ and 2 Gig corsair ram. After installation of the hardware, I turned it on and it booted to Windows perfectly fine, and I then ran the Gigabyte mobo CD drivers. I decided to try overclocking while under the stock Intel processor fan. However, any small change in the overclocking settings would not hold the save and the pc would shutdown immediately and restart by itself. After it reboots, the overclocking settings would not hold. After playing around with some settings, I found out that I needed to disable HPET support and other things. I managed to get the overclocked settings to hold and it ran at 3.0 Ghz. Couple days later my ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro came in and overclocked the Q6600 even higher to 3.33 Ghz. Though higher overclocked, CPU temp got even cooler to 33 Celcius/91 degrees F idle. It was 36-38 Celcius with stock fan and only 3.0 Ghz overclock. This is one cool cooler!
These are screenshots taken with my iPhone 3G. I had to disable ALOT of stuff on this mobo to get the settings to hold and save.
