    So I have been trying to overclock a Q6700 on an ASUS Striker Extreme...and haven't been successful at all.

    First of all I have a question.

    The ASUS Striker I have runs a FSB of 1850 easily with an E6300:

    if I keep all the settings the same in the bios, should the Q6700 also run a FSB of 1850? Or do Quad cores behave differently with the same settings?

    Thanks.

    The Q6700 has a higher multiplier than the E6300 (10x versus 7x), so will run at a higher speed with 1850FSB (namely, 4.6Ghz versus 3.2Ghz). That CPU can't run anywhere near 4.6Ghz, especially on that board.
