Q6600@3.2ghz on Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R

[crazy032]

I'd like to get my Q6600 up to 3.2ghz. Can someone please give me detailed settings that they have gotten to work on this board? I got it to 3.0 using these settings:

333X9
PCI-E Frequency: 100
System Memory Multiplier: 3.2
DDR2 Overvoltage: +.4
Vcore: 1.275

2GB crucial ballistix PC8500

I'm having trouble getting the board to take any settings for 3.2Ghz. Also, with the above settings my video card and 1GB ram fried, but it could have been because they were bad, I got them used. Thanks in advance for your help.

I just checked and using those settings, changing the clock to 356X9 works. Now I'm only concerned about the ram and video card. Any ideas?

Change system memory multiplier to 2, lax timings to 5-5-5-15. Also change the voltage for the RAM around, too much = unstable.

System multiplier controlls the speed of the RAM, ie. 800mhz, vs. 1066 mhz. 3.2 memory multiplier forces it to run @ 1066mhz, correct for PC8500. Also, crucial ballistix requires 2.2v I think, and thus the .4
Anyway, I did try to reduce the voltage to the RAM, but ended up having to clear my CMOS to get my PC to boot.

What I meant was to underclock your ram so you can hit 3.2GHz. It could be your ram that's holding you back.

Oh, ok. I'm not sure what it was, but when I tried with the same settings I had for the 3Ghz OC, then changed the core clock to 356 it ran fine. I'm still concerned about that ram and vid card dying though. Should I be, or do you think it was just bad luck? (I got them used)

It could be bad luck, but without testing it in different pcs, you wouldn't know what's holding you back.

Nothing's holding me back, I got it going. Just worried about my vid card and ram frying again.

if i am right , you cant fry your pcie card if u did lock the PCie to 100mhz
