E2160 + P5Q PRO Overclock Help

Hi im new to overclocking and i have been reading up on the overclock guides around here at tomshardware and various other sites. to find full facts of what my ram / motherboard / cpu / graphics / psw can really do.


But im getting pretty stuck at the clock speed i have at the moment and am rather confused, So i have came to ask you guys for some help or some outline guided help to get this computer overclock stable and working nicely.

STOCK CLOCK 1.8GHZ ( I have it clocked at 3.1GHZ ) NOT STABLE

The FSB Wont go past 1449, I put it on 400MHZ FSB Strap and it doesnt post.

Well im currently running this equipment:

Mercury 500WATT ( NON railed PSW )
Asus P5Q Pro Motherboard
Intel E2160 - 800FSB
250GB MAXTOR HDD
Zalman 9700 CPU Cooler ( INTEL )
2 X 120MM Fans
2 x 80 MM Fans
3 Blowing in, 1 extracting out the front on a XSILENCER Case
ATI 4650 <-- NOT CROSSFIRED YET.
Corsair XMS 6400 800MHZ NON E.P.P Ram

Operating System : Windows Vista Ulimate

Idle temps : 32-35'c
LOAD TEMPS 50-59'c

BIOS Settings:

Modded 1104 Kentxx Bios ( FOR INCREASE RAM Performance )
A.I Tuner : Manual
FSB : 333
FSB STRAP : 333 / <-- This is my RAM Divider
CPU Multiplyier : 0.9
Ram is currently running at a 5:6 Ratio ( 400MHZ ) 5-5-5-18 ( DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 )

Voltage Settings:

Vcore 1.48652
FSB Termination 1.30
NB 1.40
SB 1.20
Rest on AUTO


I am looking for a stable 1:1 Ratio for ram with a high overclock <-- If this is possible at all. Or i am looking for a 400MHZ ram 3.0 - 3.2GHZ overclock with stable and low voltages. I have ram prime95 for 12 hours and it crashed after 4 hours on the worker thread #2
