    Thanks to all, especially you hardcore overclocking gurus I read about all the time.

    thanks to everyone else too.

      Oh my God, bro axelrose u got nice procie Q9400 with VID 1,1volt!! i wish i had that one so it will need less vcore to overclock which is safe. Mine got
      VID 1,2875v, u should get FSB 400 with 3,2ghz easy bro.... mine had 3,2ghz with vcore 1,3-1,32v sorry cant remember then u should get 3,2ghz with all stock voltages except vcore need alittle add up into perhaps 1,2voltor 1,25v??

          Your vcore it to much i think, try this :
          -Vcore : 1.1625volt ---> it should be fine for FSB400 (3.2ghz) but if not stabil just add 1 step higher or 2 step... max 1.2-1.25volt i think.
          -Vtt : 1.2volt (default)
          -CPU PLL : 1.5volt (default)
          -MCH core : 1.1volt (default) ---> if not stabil just add 1 step or 2 step higher like 1.18v or 1.2volt, usually for 4G ram needs 1.2-1.24volt when overclocked.
          -DRAM voltage : 2.1volt (default) ---> if u use freq 1066mhz then 2.1volt is whats needed, unless u use higher frequency like 1080mhz or lower freq. like 800mhz.
          Btw mybest advice is try to look at @kick thread :) here http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/q840...igh-fsb-37179/

              I'm confused now.

              My default VCore is 1.2125 volts and you're saying mine is too high?

              You're saying 1.1625 Vcore which is lower than my default vcore.
              0.05 volts lower than my cpu's vcore default.

              Are we crossing wires?
              Mine is motherboard gigabyte ga-ep45-ud3p (rev 1.1) with Intel Core 2 Quad q9400 if I didn't mention earlier..

                mother board is the infamous UD3p Gigavyte and CPU is Q9400 if that help any..
