hello,this is my first attempt on overclocking so i used my old system , a q6600 running on 2.4 Ghz at stock speed.My goal was 3.2 Ghz after some guides these are the results on cpu-z and coretemp(max temp is while stress test with prime 95) you can see the details of my system on the screenshots too.(ask me if you need any further details )i got and error on prime95 after 1 hour and 20 minutes on 3rd core

so i want to ask what do you think ?is everything fine with ram?what can i do to make it more stable?
Also, why the windows reads 3.6 Ghz? i think it reads the stock multiplier
thanks in advance

Well, I would assume your FSB is ridiculously high with that 1066 cpu, 350mhz or somewhere around there? I would try to underclock the ram from 800 to 667 or maybe even 533.
