Hello all,
I seem to be having an issue, new to overclocking but trying to absorb as much as possible and successfully OC my system. I'm trying to hit 3.2ghz with my Q6600 and I'm hoping my problem is caused by my inexperience. I'm currently at 3.0ghz (67 degrees at load) and from what I've read others online say I should have lower voltage than what's necessary to get 3.0ghz. I tried 400x8 but to no avail, I could get booted into windows but failed small FFt with prime95 within seconds. Here are the settings I used to achieve 3.0ghz:
