I have Q6700 running at 3400 GHz on Maximus II Bios version 802. I am running on air with lapped TRUE and processor and 2 x 1 GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 PC8500 at 445Mhz . I would be very happy with this overclock if I can get it stable. Right now I have the Vcore set to 1.387vdc and my North Bridge set to 1.259vdc. All other settings are presently set to "Auto" The system will run stable 12 minutes under OCCT but when I run Prime95 I get the following error on Thread #3 after about 20 minutes. "FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.". To obtain stability do I need to keep increasing both the Vcore and NB? Is there a preference as to which one I should try to increase first? Are ther other settings I might be able to adjust to obtain stability at lower voltages?
