Currently I have my E6400 at 3.2GHz, 1600FSB.
Ram divider is currently 1:1
VCore is 1.375v
NB Core is 1.393v
RAM is 1.93v

I'm trying to push it further but, I just get random restarts or freezes, if it's anything over 1600FSB. What do you suggest I do, to make this overclock go further? Thanks. If you need any more info, just tell me which you need.

Your voltages are good...what are your RAM timings set to?

[b1gapl]

Mine are currently set to 5-5-5-18-2T, with Trc at 22.

4-3-3-6-2T @ 2.1V/920MHz stable for 16+ hours now

Edit: I think that I can bring the voltage back down to 2.0, just had it bumped up to try other settings.

Kopi u r da shizzy.......thanx for the suggestion on the RAM

I never suggested anything on the ram lol, but thanks, I'll steal the credit !!

@ Bigapl, those are actually really loose, but you are still instable. Maybe your Ram volts are too low, is that whats specified by your manufacturer for stock volts? Try 2.1, that seems to be a good number for many. After setting that, try running memtest for a little while. You could also try going 1.4 on the CPU, just to SEE if that was the problem. You gotta take it out of the equation.

*edit* and does the 9700 fit without any problems?

Wait a sec, where are you buying from that the AC 7 is as much as a 9700???

Competing for best RAM timings now, are we?

I'll drop my vDimm and I'll stabilize 4-3-3-5. I'm not sure what vDimm I really needed to run it, but I have no problem running 2.2v 24/7 (or hell, even 2.3) so I set it there.

4-3-3-5 is game stable at the least, so making it stable if it isn't shouldn't be a problem
Gunna do what I gotta do (read: obligatory weekend girlfriend call) and then I'm gunna nab something to eat and lay down the leet.

This is what these HS look like on this board!

You could rotate the SB HS out of the way, as I know the 8800 is lengthy!
