I am stuck at 3.47ghz on my q9450 :fou: . My multiplier is 8 with my fsb 434 and my vcore at 1.32 ( a little high i know).
Can someone help me reach 3.6ghz stable? -not that experienced with overclocking-




my specs are: p5e mobo, drr2 @ 1066, 3870x2, 800watt psu, zalman 9700 cooler.

What are your bios settings? Disable all options in bios, except loadline calibration. And try increasing vcore to 1.35 or 1.4. Did you forget to underclock ram before oc? Slightly increase nb voltages, although it shouldn't be required at that fsb.
