[Derbixrace]

well i have a problem overclocking q6600 g0, cant get it past 3.2 and i had my e6600 @ 3.5 before i bought the quad qore, i just get a blue screen before windows. i have a zalman 9500at and temps @ 3.3 dont get over 70c :S the volts im using @ 3.2 is 1.28 and theyre stable for everyday use so im very confused...

Not enough information. What is your hardware configuration, motherboard, etc.?

 

[Derbixrace]

Intel q6600 g0
Msi i975x platinum powerup edition
4gb ocz 800mhz @ 4-4-4-12 2.1v
500w nexus PSU
4870 512mb GPU
1tb sea 7200.12 hdd

Well i run the ram at 1:1 ratio (356x2 mhz with 2v and 4-4-4-12 latencies)

it wont get to 3.4 no matter what cpu voltage i use.. i have tried up to 1.5 lol

Is your memory 4 x 1 or 2 x 2?

 

[Derbixrace]

2x2

Derbixrace,

Sorry ... don't shoot the messenger, but you're about max'd out.

Intel's 975X northbridge chipset is inherently FSB limited. It doesn't scale well with 4 memory modules or with quad cores. Even with 2 x 2 GB memory and a dual core, such as the E6600 or E6850, both of which have 9x multipliers, and even with FSB modifications for nothbridge voltage and cooling, it's very difficult to reach or exceed a stable 425 FSB overclock.

Intel's P965 northbridge chipset was a huge improvement in overclock ability, often capable of exceeding 525 FSB, however, it didn't have all the excellent features of the 975X. The 975X was Intel's flagship chipset until the X38 was released.

Regardless, the most suitable quad core processor for overclocking on the 975X chipset motherboards is the Q6700, because of the 10x mutiplier, so that 3.6 Ghz is achievable with 10 x 360.
