My E6600 can run 3400MHz at 1.4V under load, so I doubt I reached the chip's max - because I have once had a Rev1.0 board that ran the E6600 at 3.6GHz before I had to RMA it, in which I ended up getting this Rev3.3 board.

I'm using PC26400 Ballistix so RAM is not holding me back, and I have a HR-05 on the northbridge so that's running well. My BIOS is F12?

Any help/suggestions?


Prolly chip max. I had one top out early, did the same thing. This E6420 does over 3.7 orthos stable, had nothing to do with the board. Rev 1 overclocks better than 3.3 also...
