Have a few questions about my E6600 overclock and my memory.
E6600
Crucial PC2-8000 Ballistix 2 1 Gig pair
Asus P5N32-E SLI Mobo 680i chipset
Water cooling for GFX/CPU
BFG 8800GTX
So far the most stable overclock with the E6600 has been 3.3Ghz with a 1.45 V-core (which seems high for a V-Core? Anything higher than 3.3 wouldn't boot. It sits at 35C Idle using Core-Temp and goes between 45-50 running Prime95 forever and a day. I was hoping to hit 3.5/3.6 Ghz with this (no real reason-just something to shoot for). Anybody hit these marks can post up their V-Cores/temps it'd be appreciated.
Also, my Cpu-Z has been giving me funny memory readings-firstly-it says under the SPD tab that my max memory is PC2-6400 when I know I got (read it off the package every 5 minutes to ensure I'm not going retarded) PC2-8000 that should go to at least 1000Mhz.
However I cannot set the memory clock to 1000 Mhz (Asus Bios allows you to set the actual speed-not the pre-DDR speed), highest I can hit is in the 950s without it becoming un-bootable-is this considered RMA area? I can completely unlink the FSB/Memory speeds-was hoping to get a little overclock out of the memory-but I can't even hit advertised speeds/timings jumping up the V-Core to 2.4 (2.2 is advertised for 1000Mhz at 5-5-5-15).
And lastly-in the BIOS I set my RAM's timings to 5-5-5-15 at around 950Mhz, yet Cpu-Z and Memset (both latest versions-Memset is 680i beta) both say my timings are 4-4-4-15??? I'm really confused...anybody else seen anything like this? I go back to my bios and it says...5-5-5-15...
