    Don't know what I'm doing wrong here...trying to OC E6600 on DS3...UPDATE!! WOOT!

    OK,

    please help me out here. I am an Intel OC n00b.

    I just tried to set my FSB to 300 and memory to 900 (using EasyTune 5) and I applied it and it rebooted the computer and I couldn't get back into Windows again until I powered off my machine completely.

    Can someone please give me an idea of what I set all of my settings at?

    Let's shoot for something easy first...say 2.8Ghz.

    What do I do?

    The BIOS says the VCore is 1.325V as "Normal"

    I've got my VDIMM @ 2.1V (OCZ Plat)

    Another thing that sucks is all of my utilites (CPU-Z, EasyTune, SpeedFan etc.) all read temps and voltages differently. The BIOS says my VCore is 1.325V while Speedfan says 1.22V!

    BTW, I'm on the F3 BIOS.

    Please help.

    EDIT: Also somethin' weird... during POST, the BIOS version "F3" is listed, but when I go view the BIOS version under "System Information" or CPU-Z, it's listed as F1.

    ****UPDATE****

    Hey all, I am absolutely STUCK at 312FSB 2.8GHz stable. Here's my stuff & settings.

    DS3 F3 BIOS (shows up F3 on POST & @BIOS, F1 in CPU-Z. I've tried reflashing with floppy 3 times)
    E6600 Retail w/Ultra-120 (CPU stays VERY cool)
    Whisper NB copper fansink (stays VERY cool)
    2x1GB OCZ Plat EL PC6400 (2.1V-2.2V doesn't change a thing (4-5-4-15)
    EVGA 7900GT
    1 Raptor 740ADFD on yellow SATA 0
    1 Raptor 740ADFD on yellow SATA 1
    1 WD 250GB SATAII 16MB on yellow SATA 2
    2 SAMSUNG DVD burners on IDE
    Antec NeoPower 480

    -----

    RAM's at 2.1V (+3V)
    FSB's @ 312
    Mem Divider's @ 2.0
    PCI-E Freq's @ 100
    VMCH @ +1
    FSB @ +1
    VCore @ 1.375V - I've tried dang near everything all the way up to 1.45V

    EIST disabled
    Thermal crap disabled
    C1 disabled

    What the heck else can I do?!?!

    Things I guess I could try:

    F4c BIOS (haven't heard many good results)
    Disabled Legacy USB support

    PLEASE HELP!
