i tried upping the vcore and the 1.2 to try and compensate, but it would not run occt.

do you think i will have a better chance of getting to 3.4 with different memory and maybe a different cooler,if so could you please suggest which memory i should buy ,and what air cooler would you suggest.

thanks for all your time and effort. i am new to all this overclocking ,but i do want to learn, i have spent over 2 weeks trying to get to the 3.4 mark, i just need some guidence from the pros.
i have tried numerous settings (other peoples templates) with no joy,the only thing different in my setup is the memory and cooler?

Do you have a B3 or a G0 stepping quad?
I believe you cannot expect great overclocking from B3 stepping quads on Striker Extreme.
