Re: Can't get 3.6Ghz with E6600/EP45-UD3P
You're still on quite conservative Vcore. Your chip can handle up to 1.5V. Try giving it 1.4V and enable Load Line Calibration.
Dual cores also seem to like lower than default MCH ref voltages. With the 1.4Vcore, set CPU Term to 1.2, then set MCH ref to 0.740V. Now increase CPU Term to 1.34V. You will see MCH Ref inrease in value. This is fine, it scales as a % of CPU term.
Also consider setting a fixed Static tRead rather than auto As auto is setting 9, and you're having problems, set both channels to a value of 10 for now. I'm 99% sure tRead isn't an isue though, and auto is setting this very conservatively. You'll likely be ok with 8 or even 7, but after you get stable.
Trying the 2.00B system memory multi may be beneficial, or it may have the opposite effect. D is intended usually for FSB of 400+, so B is still within tolerance for your settings.
One final thing to change. Please enable Thermal Monitor 2. It doesn't cause any stability issues. It's purely there to protect your CPU. It's responsible for initiating thermal throttling when your CPU reaches its TJMax. Without it your CPU may commit suicide by overheating through over zealous clocking or even simply a failed CPU fan.
