Each mobo and CPU is going to react differently. I'm sure someone here has a similar setup, although their CPU or Mobo may perform worse or better than yours. Start low and work your way up, that's the best way to determine your max clocks.

so its better to keep some settings on auto instead of normal?

Quote:
Yes. Don't go for that high of an overclock though. You'll need better cooling for that to work. Try 1.36v for the Vcore, and make the OC to like 3.4ghz first. Baby steps are the key!!!

I'm going to be in the same boat as you tommorow when my new board comes in. It's going tone slow going but our high vid is going to be what holds us back moreso than anything else. I'd like to see 3.5 but I'd be really happy with 3.6; from what I've seen in the big thread it is possible.

Interesting

No, its because same VID. meant on VID.

Just wanted to point something out here

MCH/ICH
MCH Core……………..... 1.260v
MCH Reference….…….0.812v
MCH/DRAM Ref.…......0.900V [Auto] -> Set this to half of DRAM voltage
MCH I/O……………….....1.500V [Auto] -> Use the setting "normal" instead of auto
ICH Core…………...……1.100V [Auto] -> Use the setting "normal" instead of auto
DRAM
DRAM Voltage ……....1.900V [2.060V] -> Set to manufacturers specs
DRAM Termination .…0.950V [Auto] -> Set this to half of DRAM voltage
Channel A Reference 0.950V [Auto] -> Set this to half of DRAM voltage
Channel B Reference 0.950V [Auto] -> Set this to half of DRAM voltage

Should help with stability.

what u do in your BIOS to hit that clock?
