Well I finally got some overclocking underway after I found the cause of my instability - a dead stick of cherished D9GKX
Even though the memory was causing the crashes, unfortunately it wasn't the only cause of instability - my E0 just isn't a good chip, not at all:
3.6GHz needs 1.3v
3.7GHz needs 1.33v - not bad
3.8GHz needs 1.375v
4GHz is out of the question
I'm not overly keen on pumping even 1.375v into my CPU when for a teensy 100mhz decrease in frequency I can go all the way down to 1.33v.
Anybody have a nice Q9550 they want to sell?
