Sorry, you are correct denny. First off, 467x4=1868, a strange FSB... but that shouldn't matter. I think that you should bump MCH Core again, this time to 1.32v and give it another go. To be honest, you could probably drop vCore one notch ta-boot.

nate:
You said : There is too much room between your vCore and your vTerm. Furthermore, it sounds like you are trying the brute force method. However, I know next to nothing about quads or 65nm CPUs either, so I did a quick search and found this:
Stable 3.6GHz q6600 Its worth noting, though, that this is a 450x8.5 set-up, not a 400x9. So, although your vCore should be similar to his, your MCH Core can be lower than his, not much, but some. As it is, your MCH Core is too low, period. I would think that you should be able to run a 1.3 or 1.32 MCH Core; however, we know nothing about what type and how much RAM you have.

One peice of advice,
reboot,
go to BIOS,
go to MIT,
F7 for Optimum Settings
Write down your vCore
Save and Exit,
Login and run CPU-Z.
Write down what CPU-Z says your vCore is.

What ever the difference is, you should use this as a sort of rule of thumb for setting vCore and vTerm in BIOS. Not a mathematical certainty, though. I was told that one should make sure that vTerm is low enough to accomodate vdrop and vdroop, but too low and your tweak won't be stable.

I caution you, however, that being a 45nm CPU owner, I am nervous when I see voltages that high. However, according to Intel, the q6600 is rated to 1.5v nominal; which should mean that you can push it beyond that.
I take no responsibility, but encourage you to try and see what you can get.

@ Grish -thanks , I'll give it another go later this week . GG is all tucked in the way she likes it. I know I'm spoilin her. What is 467x 4= 1868 -strange FSB

Just an odd number. I am a big fan of synergy and nice, round numbers...

Synergy is like the 3.6GHz, 400x9, thats a CPU OC of 20% and a FSB OC of 20%.
There was another one the other night that had nice synergy... oh, 500x9 that was a 50/50 Overclock.
445x9 is a 34/34 OC...
489x9 is a 47/47 OC...



Nice round numbers, 1600, 2000, 2200, 1800, etc...

When you can combine the two, its gotta be special...

400x9
500x9

So basically you should set Cputerm to whatever CPU-Z shows for your voltage? CPU-Z voltage is .029 lower than the set voltage (1.325v->1.296v for 3.4ghz). I'm not raising my voltage much more...I'm near 60 on loads already . On my other mobo if I needed around 1.3v for 3.4ghz, I shouldn't need too much more for 3.6Ghz.
I'll bump up my CPUterm and see what happens.

Oh, and also, my RAM specs are in my sig...it's cheap HP ram but it clocks to 800Mhz just fine.

^^^^Looking at your bios settings and the only thing I can see holding you back is CPU Term.

When you do get new ram -be sure to get 1066 or better so you will have plenty of speed options

guys can anyone here help me?

im having a hard time on getting a stable 530FSB with this board...
the highest stable i've achieved was 482FSB thats 482x9 = 4340MHz
with vcore of 1.3975v in bios (1.376v cpu-z)
dram voltage @ 2.1
MCH voltage @ 1.18V
1:1
400fsb strap
2.00D
the rest is @ auto/normal

i want to achieve 535x8.5 = 4500MHz

can anyone pls post some settings... pls?

i bought this board because i saw in the internet that the board has a high OC capabilities.. plssssssssssssss

NoGuru

Yes but first go to the top of the page and where it say UserCP open that and go to Edit system and fill in your specs.

With 1.35 vCore, I tried 1.32 and 1.26 CPUTerm to no avail. :/

It's probably your memory holding you back. Can you get some new stuff?
