Check/tweak my EP45-UDP3 Q6600 3.6Ghz Overclock settings

[DannyM]

I have a stable 3.6Ghz Q6600 OC.

Is there anything in there that I should change?

Also,
I'd like to get to 3.7Ghz or 3.8Ghz......
when I upped my FSB to reach 3.7Ghz my system rebooted about 3 minutes into OCCT.
Any suggestions on settings changes to reach a stable 3.7 or 3.8?

My Ram is DDR2 800 currently OC'd to 900....do I need faster ram to reach 3.7/3.8?
If so....which ram would you recommend?

You should lower that CPU Termination voltage. I only needed about 1.3v for a 450FSB and lower the PLL to 1.57v. Also have you tried lower Vcore?

[DannyM]

I'll try those CPU Term and PLL settings.

My VID is 1.3125
It pretty much needs 1.5 vcore to run stable at 3.6Ghz
I can run 3.2Ghz at stock 1.3125V (1.28 in CPUZ)....but for 3.6Ghz this chip needs 1.5V

[fatguy1992]

Ok, what cooler are you using and what are your idle/load temps like?

Thanks

BTW I forgot to mention, try running a static read value of 8 or 9.

[DannyM]

Currently running a Arctic Freezer Pro 7.
Idle temps are 37/32 and load temps are at around 67.

I ordered a Megahalem that should be here tomorrow to help lower load temps.

[DannyM]

Static Read 8 would not boot.

PLL to 1.57v and Static Read 9 seem to be working fine.
Ran quick OCCT, played some COD:WaW while ripping a blu ray and no lockups, reboots or blu screens.

[fatguy1992]

Ok, thats good. Do u need to run ICH voltage @ 1.3v? I'v never had to boost it before, even for 4.5GHz.

[DannyM]

I'll try a lower ICH core voltage later after dinner, thanks.

[fatguy1992]

No problem. Good luck.

[DannyM]

I got up to 3.7 stable. Using the same settings as my last settings post all I did was change the multi to 9x and the CPU Host Frequency to 412.

I'm going to install my Megahalem later today and let that settle in for a few days and then go for 3.8.
