Ok, so i changed the FSB do 425 mhz to get the 3825 mhz cpu clock and the following voltages :
Vcore 1.52v
PLL : 1.90v
FSB Termination : 1.50v
NB: 1.30v
And it's not stable in prime 95(after 10 min bsod) , and it gives me that stupid error in 3dmark vantage, but except these, everything runs just fine.
Any ideas to stabilieze it ?

Memory settings?

And FSB Termination should be ok at 1.4v. And why is the PLL at 1.9v? 1.57v should work fine as well.

I run the memory at 1066 with CL5 and 2.10v there's nothing to worry here cuz it at stock speed and latency.
I'll try the PLL at 1.57 and FSB at 1.4v

My Old P5Q-PRO struggled with ANY FSB above or at 400.. would never stablise! which is why i invested in gigabytes UD3P! Perfectly easy now =)

Would the Asus Striker Extreme represent a better mobo for oc-ing the q6600 ? I have an offer to trade the P5Q PRO with a striker extreme and i don't know if it's worth it ?
I once saw a q6600 on a striker extreme at 4.0ghz at 1.44vcore:|

The only mobo worth considering is the Gigabyte UD3P imo.

But I think you haven't really finetuned your bios, or you simply need more vcore. 3.82Ghz is not a walk in the park for a Q6600.

I honestly think the P5Q pro and the deluxe versions are quite a bit different in terms of quad overclocking.

However I agree with Andy. Has your q6600 gone that high before? Work slowly up, with everything at stock, then start bumping up vcore first, when that proves to be not helping any more, then play with the others. IMHO

Well , it's at 1.52 right now and i think it's enough , and now i noticed that i get de bsod when te temperatures rise up to 85 celsius. :| Need extra cooling ? like a true or something?

i have the same problem with the exact same mobo and cpu. I cannot overclock mine to 3ghz at all, i set everything in the bios, cpu fsb, north bridge fsb, and voltage, i still can't get it to overclock.

85C is way overheating for a q6600 i think the max temp is 60-70C, you need to turn it down asap before you screw it up.

Well there is your problem. 85 is way too much, lower your OC right away. Yes, a TRUE is a good cooler for a quad.

I'd say start with everything on auto, except for your ram voltage, and your vcore. Put those at stock. (I.E.) Match your vcore to VID on coretemp, assuming you have C1E disabled.

And work up from there.

Yep, the problem is that i can't find it anywhere , at least in my country it's not in stock anywhere , but i do have a cousin in usa , and if you could give a link from where i can buy it . it'll be nice

How's the Thermalright HR-01 Plus compared to the TRUE ?

Maybe you can find the Noctua NH-U12P in Romania?

Shipping from the US would almost cost as much as the cooler itself...

So i wanted to test the motherboard's fsb overclocking capability , and now i am running 500x6 (3000) perfectly stable in prime 95.

500FSB is pretty good for a quad
