You really do not need a ton of vFSB or vNB on this board.
It's very much a finesse mobo though.
Brute forcing by using higher voltages pretty much never works...believe me, i've tried.
If you spend time with it, get your vFSB & vNB & GTL perfect (and yes, they have to be perfect or you will get nowhere), it's not bad.
How do i do this, and how will i know when i have the correct settings for this?

Anything above 3.2Ghz on my Q6600 is requiring huge Vcore increases from 1.38 to 1.42 for 3.3Ghz and to 1.48v for 3.4Ghz.

It seems if i dont raise Vcore Prime95 fails Large FFT very quickly.

Ram is set to 1000Mhz stock and 266Mhz strap, currently 400mhz FSB at 8X multi.

Trying to aim higher is not working out, and i really think the GTL's are behind my problems.

Vcore currently: 1.387
vFSBt: 1.2
PLL: 1.5
NB:1.22
GTL's: Auto
