Welcome to the fun that is OC'ing a DFI board!

Here's my experience with running at that speed... I had to max every voltage and it still wasn't stable... http://virtualrain.blogspot.com/2007...-at-38ghz.html

What is GTL? I have a E66000 not a Q6600 . I am able to start booting at 4.0Ghz however it blue screens, so i though the cpu need more vcore. I have it at 1.6 atm and dont know how to make it go higher?

My settings now are 1.6vcore @ 3.84Ghz @ -10c on ideal and about 4c on load.

I would like to get a stable 4.0Ghz with this cpu at least. I would very much it it to be prime stable, but if i run prime now it will simply hang after a few mins.

Should i have to mess with any of the other volts? SB core? or whatever? PCI 100Mhz ?

any info would be great!

Also anyoe know the limits on the NB vcore? What is too much? I have noticed if i put it up too much the system will hang, however too low the system wont boot!
