Yeah I'm trying to OC my q6600 to 3.4, I have a 780i mobo with 4 gigs of 1066 ram. Ive tried everything but cant seem to get it stable, it will boot fine but when i run prime 95 a core fails after about 20 min.... i went in and changed the reference clock to get it to 3.4 and upped many voltages, here they are...

CPU core= 1.5 ( high as i dare, i see other people getting 3.4 at lower Voltages so what gives?)

CPU FSB= 1.4
Memory=2.1 (OCZ dominator)
SPP= 1.45
MCP=1.525
SPP-MCP=1.25

Am i missing something or doing something stupid here??? Any help would be much appreciated.... Thank you.

What is your memory multliplier?

its not good theory.

weird I have q6600@3.4ghz with 1.4000vcore
1.9v on the memory and everything else left on auto
maybe its because i use asus p45 p5q se
they say intel chipsets r better overclockers

Hint: The Front Side Buss and Memory Speeds are Linked

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground? Or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group?

The P45 *is* an Intel Chipset. I think Scotteq and zenmaster have the right idea. You need to drop the memory multiplier because right now you're probably overclocking your memory more than it can handle.
