    @SoLoR
    Thanks for the Bios

    I've been doing some testing with PCIE frequency and have some interesting results
    This is testing with my 3.4Ghz OC with 1.4000v in Bios (1.384 real), 50 pass LinX stable and 10hrs Small FFT's which fails UT2004+P95 Blend after 10min with PCIE at 100mhz

    And here is the HDD performance


    Now rasing the PCIE to 103Mhz with the same slightly unstable settings allows it to run UT2004+P95 for 3hrs until error
    The HDD performance is here


    As you can see it's slighty higher.

    The failures in P95+UT2004 in both cases are occuring in LargeFFT's.
    I think it an odd coincidence that both mikeyakame and myself have found benefit's by raising the PCIE Frequency and that we both run Q6600's.
    Maybe it's something to do with 65nm quads or the Q6600 itself that likes higher than normal PCIE Freq??

    This leads me to believe that it is possible to find a setting that will stabilise this OC as i know it isn't vCPU (since it is LinX and SmallFFT stable) or vNB related it has to be GTL's or Skew related (either NB CPU or DRAM)
