I'm having trouble OCing with my 750i, I was concerned it was either my mobo or my ram (ram is a weak spot). But some others seem to be doing okay on the board. And if I keep my ram unlinked can the ram still prevent me from getting stable OC on the processer?
Here is my system:
Q6600 GO
asus p5n-d 750i sli
2x1gb Buffalo DDR2 800
NZXT 800 watt psu
zalman cnps 9700

I've tried setting vcore to 1.35, ht 1.30, nb 1.30, sb 1.5. unlinked ram
and I can't get anything stable over 1156 fsb multiplier x9

Are my settings off? Do I need to upgrade my ram? Or is it something else?

go4life

your specs looks nice bro I dont think thats any problem I have my q6600 at 3,250ghz now, with 1.39vcore, HT 1.46, NB 1.46, SB 1.58 and the ram unlinked.. that worked for me atleast but do you have the latest bios? the 0402? DO NOT overclock without updating this because that only leads to a unstable system...
keep my updated bro and I will try to help you as mutch as I can;D

I currently have the 302 bios, I went to 402 but had even worse results (couldn't even get 1156 stable) so I went back to 302. I could try again, but I was hoping that I could find something else that could be the problem.

I wrote my old thing! xD 1.40vcore, HT 1.68, NB 1.68, SB 1.62! that should get you further

I just recently assembled my pc with the following: Q6600 G0 stepping, Asus P5N-D, 4GB of Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4, and a Arctic Freezer 7 Pro. I've been reading and still new to overclocking. But I was wondering what settings would i need to get my CPU to 3.0 GHz with the ram running at 850 MHz? Also I would want to see and 3.3 GHz setting? Right now my rig at stock speeds is at 20 degrees C. idle. Thanks for your help in advance.

go4life

congrats with your new system to get 3.2ghz stable you need to set vcore to 1.4v, HT 1.68v, NB 1.68v, SB 1.62v. your ram you can set at 2.150v and then set it to 850mhz.. this should be very stable and good! Atleast it is that for me! your temps look nice to so I dont think you should get any problems! report back to me and tell me if it works! ;D
