hahaha, can't say i've ever seen that ;p

i'll try FSB OCing. As you can see in my system specs my c2d does 3.2GHz just fine...but I haven't had anything stable over 400FSB. last I checked the multipliers weren't unlocked in my BIOS...but I hear the latest one is unlocked? ...I guess I should update?

though the first thing will be to make sure my previously stable OC works again once I put the new cooling in...don't know if you read back a few pages, but the increase in ambient temps in my apartment kinda killed my OC. I wanna get a new stable one now, while times at still at their annual max, so I can be sure i'll have rock solid OC 24/7/365....

What kinda ambient temps you have? My house is like 90F during the summers and my parents are airconditioning nazis which makes it a poor location for overclocking

I'd like to buy a new motherboard.
I wonder if P5N-E SLI or P5K which is better?

Mog, do you plan on going Sli or not.

edit: your ram isn't set to 1T (commands per clock) is it? it should be 2T until you get a stable OC....

I am back at 3.2Ghz 1.45V and I tested the Ram which was clocked at 1000Mhz 4-4-4-12, 2.35V and it had no errors, going to try the 3.37 overclock again. I did notice that this time I have to use 1501FSB, 1500FSB just would not boot, same for 1499fsb too, so I guess fsb hole?

I noticed that at high overclock on the ram before I upped the volts then the Windows crashed and the screen just froze, even with my 3700+ AMD when I did too high overclocks I got BSOD's too.

Yep my ram was at 2T.

I don't plan using SLI, crossfire or something like this. It is not fit my budget. I just like OC CPU.
I'm using P5N-E SLI (from my friend) it is verygood. But someone said P35 overclock better. I dont have good ram so i like Nfoce's "Unlink" feature so I dont care ram:fsb ratio . But in some review P35 got higher FSB.

[Asce]

I would say get the P5k since it oc's better but i have no clue if it has an unlink feature though.

It seems my CPU aint stable at 3.37 and 1.35V +100MV, I dunno if its the fsb or somthing, what next? try 8x Multiplyer?

[Asce]

Have you tried upping the vcore slightly

[willhub]

To how much, I mean is up to 1.5V safe? some people can get 3.4Ghz at 1.38V .
