both prime and everest won't stress test at all...10 seconds from the beginning of the test, I'll get blue screen of death and a memory dump, followed by a restart

Don't follow all what is thrown to you here as a big knowledge. Your problem is not memory deviders, or FSB straps, your CPU is way too hot and can't be stable at those temperatures

As I told you, and as cuke2u confirmed, I also has the Swiftech H20-220 Apex if you look at my sig.

If you look even well, you'll see I also, like cuke2u is planning to do, invested in a PA120.3 to cool my Q6600.

The dual rad just can't deal with the heat of the Q6600 at High OC. And yes, on C2D, 3.6GHz can be moderate OC, but, hey, 50% OC on a C2Q is really high OC, not extreme, but very high.

If Coretemp reprots 80°C, you have a serious issue. Check the loop, reseat your WB on the CPU as suggested before... But, as cuke2u told you, you're at the limits of your radiator. You have to invest in a triple.

Also, remember, in a WC system, the triple rad alone won't solve all the issues. Adequate mb cooling is needed, and internal rads are less efficient by far than an external mounting
