im pretty sure that its your board that is holding you back.. evga mobos are not that great with quad core chips.
i take that you have the newest bios it should have better ocing potential than the earlier ones ??
and what about your voltage settings, what are they ??

is this G0 or B3 X3220?

its a b3, i go tit to 3.6 booted into windows but it was unstable 3.4 was fine, after i played with settings in bios i was able to get that high, there is something called nvida EX for nvidia drivers and card well that has to be on or you will get lock ups in games which was the main problem i was having so now im at a happy 3.2ghz i would like 3.6 but i think my bord is holding me back, i have it at 8x400= 3.2 i would like it at 9x400 but its just to unstable, im going to play with it some more but if you have any words of advisements that would be great thx guys for you intrest in helping me!
