I Found This Q6600 in Thailand - Overclock to 5.6GHz

During my latest trip to Thailand I actually went back to score some potentially good legacy platform CPUs at Pantip Plaza and Palladium Plaza while I was waiting to get my room at the hotel I was staying. The situation was still the same after Covid-19, you can find some stores at Pantip Plaza on the hardware floor that have some legacy components, but the places are still relatively quiet. Palladium Plaza is like a ghost town after Covid-19 and you can find maybe just 3 or 4 stores that sell actual components.

I obviously had the CPU models and their batch numbers in my head and I bought a couple this time as well like I did on my previous trip in July. I found this Q6600 which had an interesting batch number, but surprisingly it didn't seem good at all when I tested it for the first time at home. I actually discarded it, but I was lucky when I quickly retried it during New Year's eve and saw something that really raised my instinct.

That feeling was certainly correct as I was able to break the CPU-z Core Frequency validation on first attempt with only 1 post. About 5.4GHz+ and the highest validation I was able to achieve was 5.569GHz. I saw 5.6GHz+ 2 or 3 times but I wasn't able to validate it. I am sure that over time with many attempts that frequency is doable.
