Hey, I have a Q6600 (G0 Stepping) with GA-965P-DS3 (Rev 3.3) Motherboard, 4GB of Corsair TwinX 800Mhz DDR2 RAM, OCZ StealthXtreme 600W PSU. I've tried OC'ing but it's always unstable. I'm trying to get the CPU to 3Ghz.
So either something is wrong with my config (which I hope) or my RAM is a pile of rubbish (I hope it's not this), here are the settings I used as far as I could remember.
* PCI bus/freq/whatever - locked at 100mhz.
* RAM Voltage at 2.1v (RAMS advertised voltage)
* RAM Latency set to 4-4-4-12 (which is the rams advertised latency, I also tried 5-5-5-15/18, still unstable)
* RAM Multiplier 2.0 (I think, something around 800Mhz)
* CPU VCore @ default (it shouldn't need changing for 3Ghz according to all the websites i've been to, i've started seeing people stable on 3Ghz at 1.22v and so-on though, what's going on here?)
The temps were fine and always have been so I know it was not overheating that is causing it. the BIOS is AWARD so hopefully someone who's dealt with those BIOS's before can give me advice, i'm hoping I can get this stable because 2.4Ghz just isn't fast enough for the stuff I do.
