If i set my Vcore to Auto and run the standard frequncies it shows about 1.21V in BIOS. Overclocked to 3Ghz i set the Vcore manually to 1.275V and it's really stable IF i only use 2x1gb sticks, if i use all my sticks, 4x1gb, it will freeze sooner or later. I'm going to try with 4 sticks later and then raise the volts on the memories. So, do you guys have any idea on what kind of frequency i could try with to get to about 3.6Ghz give or take? Have tried all the settings listed in this thread (QDR: 1700, 1712, 1720 and so on) with no success, therefore i would be greatful for help.


My setup:

Asus Striker Extreme BIOS 1303 Revision A2 (I think)
Q6600 2.4 Ghz G0 @ 3Ghz 9x333 1.275V
2x1gb DDR2 800 Mhz Corsair or 4x1gb

Using a well ventilated Antec P190 and a Thermalright SI-128 with a Noctua 120mm fan so the temperatures won't be a problem.


You have to excuse my bad English.

At first: @ XS!

I think a higher Northbridge voltage will help you to reach a higher frequency on the processor, but running a Quadcore with 4 gigs of RAM is stressing the Northbridge very much in any case. What is the Northbridge voltage you are running at the moment?
