Overclocking the Q6600

Woot! I'm running a Q6600 at 3.01Ghz. Although it's the old B3 stepping, it seems to run smoothly at around 55°C under full load thanks to water cooling.
I didn't have to increase the core voltage, so it should remain stable and hopefully won't die on me too soon.

To monitor the temperatures I use ksysguard as shown here. It's very powerful in that it allows you to choose a multitude of ways to display system information. I'm mainly using the signal plotter because one can assign several sources to one plotter cell - in this example I'm graphing idle, nice, system and user load of a CPU core in one cell. In the second row ksysguard plots the temperatures in a scale from 0 to 100°C. I could even monitor remote systems running ksysguardd (e.g. via ssh). The latter only depends on some general purpose libraries and tools which is well suited for servers where I don't want to install the complete set of kde packages.
