My setup:
Q6600
Abit IP-35 Pro mobo
4 GB (2x2GB) G-Skill DDR 800 RAM
My VID is, as stated in the topic, 1.325. I've got it to 3GHz without any problems, but can't seem to push past that with stable results. I've tried for 3.2 and 3.6 at voltages as high as 1.4925 and though I can boot into XP, when starting up Prime95 the 4th core instantly drops out and the system is prone to blue-screening.
I'm using auto-voltages in the BIOS for my current stable 3GHz OC, but bumping the clock up past it with auto settings still produces unstable results (this includes running it at 3.15Ghz with the ram underclocked, 3.2Ghz with 8x400fsb, and 3.6Ghz with 9x400fsb.)
Temperatures have not been an issue as of yet. I'm using a xigmatek SD-1283 (I think that's the model) cooler, and at 3Ghz my core temps idle at 20-25 degrees and hit no more than 45 degrees under prime 95 load.
My goal is to hit 3.6Ghz, but at this point, I'd just like to be able to push past the wall of 3.0Ghz I seem to be at.
Any suggestions?
Also, when manually playing with voltages, I've increased voltages on the processor only. I didn't feel I was knowledgeable enough to mess around with mobo/ram voltages.
