Hey all,
Got myself a Q6600 on a P35C-DS3R board, with 8gb of DDR3. Using the Cooler Master 212 Evo for the CPU, and the RAM is Ripjaws X 1333Mhz (4gb x 2 ).
I've read up on the overclocking guides, but still a bit confused. If I leave my voltages on auto, I can easily handle a 3.2Ghz clock, with 356Mhz FSB - maxes at 66 degrees C under Prime95. Any attempts to handle voltages manually, or the memory multipler, result in either failure to POST, or crashes in Prime95.
Timing is as per specs; 9-9-9-24 (when set manually). It's meant to do this at 1.65V, but with manual voltage control, it's hard to tell what's failing on me (and I can only do intervals of 0.1V, i.e. 1.5, 1.6, 1.7).
Any advice?

EDIT: CPU VID is 1.2625 V as per Everest 64.
