First of all what RAM do you have and why are you running it at that speed? The Q6600 is a FSB1066 CPU which at stock runs 1:1 with DDR2 533. At FSB 1333 in order to run 1:1 you would only need DDR2 667 and if your using DDR2 800 you could either underclock it and tighten the timings or run it at it's stock speed.

Take these voltages as only suggestions and not a guide line. Overclocking through bios is a trial and error process, so start with an overclock of 300mhz on the frontside bus with stock voltage and run a stress test. If you remain stable continue uping the fsb until you fail a stbility test or blue screen; then bumb the Vcore by .01 of a volt (if permited by mobo) until you are stable. Continue this process until you reach your desired overclock. I wouldnt touch your northbridge or southbridge voltages just yet; I would only touch them if you cant stay stable with a high vcore (past 1.5v on vcore is not safe for the q6600 unless you are on water or extreme cooling). Get the latest copy of prime95 beta to put your quad to real work when stress testing. |

I think the reason why is because im overclocking with not proper cooling.. I just purchased a Cooler Master 690 Case with a OCZ Vendetta 2 CPU Cooler.. My q6600 is a G0, and the ram is OCZ Sli Edition 6400 (4-4-4-1T 800MHZ 2.1V stock)

If your RAM is rated for a 1t command rate why do you have yours set to 2t? ---------------

I never had good luck when I had the Command Rate set to 2T on my previous motherboards. I just set the Command Rate to 1T, with 4-4-4-12 timings at 800MHZ ram.. And it actually booted up windows xp 64. Lemme see if this turns out successful. |

Soon as I typed that I got a blue screen saying IRQL - Not Less then - Or Equal to.... So I changed my ram settings to 4-4-4-15-1T - the way the factory made it. If I get another blue screen Im changing it to 5-5-5-15-1T. And if that fails im putten it back to 2T. |

Do you really think the ram could be the problem that the graphics glitch up when watching a avi? I mean is it possible? Or is that something to do with the Motherboard overheating or something.. I dont have a good cooling PC right now, its a cheap computer case and a Zalman Genti II cpu cooler.. That thing sucks. Im getting a cooler master 690 case and a ocz vendetta 2 cpu cooler in a couple days. Also did you want me to grab the Memtest86 or Memtest86+ Message edited by JLewis187 on 05-11-2008 at 10:21:52 PM |

Alright, I set everything back to automatic, Im waiten till I get my new case and cpu cooler before I do anything else. Could you give me a rough estimate of where my HT, NB, and SB should be though at a overclock of lets say 3.6 or 3.4 ghz |
