I'm a n00b overclocker, but have been working and living with computers for some time so I know my way around (only laptops, thus no overclicking experience). I recently purchased myself a new rig (spec below) and was keen to try out the potential of the E6700. but when I tried to push the chip AT ALL it just wouldn't post!! Eventually, I found this guide (http://www.hardmart.com/forums/showthread.php/core-2-duo-overclocking-27.html), as it is exactly my MoBo and Bios, and changed the voltage settings as suggested. However, even now I can only get it stable at 3.2, and it won't post at anything past 3.35. My personal goal was 3.66, which I know to be possible with this chip, and don't understand where I'm going wrong!
SPEC:
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (Rev 3.3)
DVD Drive Samsung SH-S183L DVD±RW/±R DL
Case - RaidMax Smilodon
Power Supply - Thermaltake TR2 500W
Ram - OCZ DDR2-800 1GB-DC Platinum rev.2
RAM fan - Thermaltake Cyclo
CPU Heatsink - Thermaltake V1
Graphics - I'm using an old GeForce 6200LE at the moment, getting a new 8600GTS in two weeks
Please help,
