ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

[sesdave]

Finally I've got 3.2Ghz stable (400x8 | 1:1)with this config:

I've had to raise the vCore to 1'525 in Bios (1'5v in Everest). Is this too voltage? If you notice in CPU-Z the vCore is 1'238v... Why?
As you can see the core temps working hard (orthos) reached a maximum of 60C, being always between 55-60C (45 on idle).

Well, I hope that this PC remain stable with the Mac OSX86 I'm going to install before Christmas...

Thanks for all Sesdave and all those who shares his knowledge...

Good start but 1.525v seems a lot of volts to get 400x8 - a lot of the E6600's were able to achieve that on stock volts or there about. Mine did 3.6 with 1.5v on a P5W but I ran it 390x9 with 1.45v most of the time. What batch is yours - it may be that you have just been unlucky on the one you got. Its woth trying raising the multipler to 9 and Northbridge=1.55 and see if that loads. at 400x9. If not or not stable drop the FSB down in increments of 10 keeping memory 1:1 until it does then try lowering the vcore. What PSU have you got - everest is showing the 12v rail as supplying only 11v (probably not accurate) and (dumb question but--) have you connected the 4/8 pin 12v connector to the board? Have you also checked the RAM out with memtest86 - what colour slots is it in.
