ASUS P5W DH - Problems + Fixes Thread

[vMax1965]

Hi everyone,

Some help required. I have the following setup: Asus P5W DH motherboard bios 2504, Q6600 not G0, OCZ Reaper 4x2 8gb (did I really need that much memory? my excuse is it was cheap) memory running on Vista 64. I have succesfully overclocked to 3GHz but cannot go any further. I would like to get to 3.2 GHz but all my attempts have failed. System becomes unstable at anything over 3GHz, tried increasing voltages but not sure hi high I can go or would want to go. Can someone help me out?

Current Bios info
