Hi all!!
Finally got into my hands a P5Q3 deluxe m/b and installed a c2d E7500 on it!
After several overclocking scenarios, didn't manage to pass 375fsb x 11 ratio, every attempt over this just couldn't boot into windows, either xp (bsod) or win 7 (auto restart)
Pc was switching on even at 400 x 11 showing the correct speed (ghz) into bios but wouldn't boot into windows!!
I've tried a different vga card, no luck! My psu is 550w and only devices in the pc is a dvd-r and the ssd, nothing more!!
Any ideas or maybe better people with similar setup to help??

I've also tried a little bit of overvoltage for ram and cpu with no luck again!!
Thanks!

Just got an E8400 in my hands just to test...it seems more overcloackable although it's a 1333 fsb (whereas E7500 is 1066)!
With everything on Auto in Bios except Multi (9.0) and FSB at 500 I had easily 4.5ghz enjoyable!!
Same thing as with the E7500 here with this cpu started to happen at 510 x 9.0, played a little with voltages (cpu and ram) but nothing successfull!!
Waiting for your inputs
Thanks!
