    Q6600 not stable at 3.2 GHz

    hi,
    I have a problem, My settings are:
    360 * 9
    1.375 volts, according to bios (in true 1.3 V under load)
    NB: 1.41 v
    VTT: 1.2 v
    Ram: 2.0 v.The problem is that the PC always freezes when Prime95 after about 20min. Located on the Ram? What can I do to the CPU to get stable? Any recommendations and suggestions are appreciated.

    Your above-mentioned values are the Temps of the individual kernels, which I think I may even order the 100 ° C warm.

    try your Multi set to 9, and like 356FSB for 3.2GHz, leave cpu voltage at auto, Set your ram dividers so the ram is within it's range and see if it will boot.Also try it with 2 sticks of ram instead of three. That might be an issue.

    hi,
    I think it is up to the Vcore, my Q6600 runs stable if I go over 1.4 V, now I have 3.2 GHz at 1375V and 2.0 at 400x8 Ram Multi. Otherwise not only the increased voltage Vcore, ok and my PCIe voltage because I take with 120MHz.

    The reason why you set your system up to always start at 2.6 during the boot process, via bios, is because if you force it to start at 3.2 everytime, then it wont post, it will litterally tell you to use the default overclock settings because 3.2 is just too high to jump at. 3.0 seems to be fine to set your bios's permanent settings, however i still recommend post booting from 2.6. and the reason why you cannot just skip right to 3.2ghz from 2.4ghz, is because your processor cant handle just a fast jump in speeds, thats why you are booting at 2.6ghz, and then once inside, you change it to 3.2ghz.
