i have my 1.133 tb going at 1379 stably but anytime i push it too 1400 its stable for only so long and then it just restarts i have a antec 400w psu that everyone talking about. Also my voltages are well above what they need to be at vcore of 2.25 and any suggestion with my spec below would be greatly appreciated
thanks:)

Did you check your temperatures? My friend got high temps and his comp restarted all the time, if it is the matter that's mostly due to high voltage you should get better cooling or drop the voltage

If ur Multiplier is @9 I don't see why you'd need such a high voltage, you should MIN the volt as much as posslbe, (that is so you can overclock but not overheat it) so I would say 1.85 would be good, don't ever go beyond 2 even though 2.30 is the theoritical max never go beyond 2. As far as your CPU... unlock the mult and set it to around 10.5 or more if you can with a voltage of 1.85, good FSB.

A couple of things - what kind of cooling are you using, and what are your idle and load temps. At 154mhz fsb, your memory may be suffering. Some 133mhz memory will not o/c to 150+mhz. Corsair, Mushkin, or Crucial memories do a great job of overclocking.
Your vcore voltage, as stated in a previous reply, is too high. Since you are only .5 above your default multiplier - bring your vcore down to 1.8 - 1.85. I/O voltage should be at about 3.5 - 3.6 to accomodate the memory overclock - granted your memory is capable of handling it.

not sure ppl know this but my nanya is actually as good as the ones mentioned above there is a review that says the taiwan made nanya will do 170+ fsb which i believe. my voltage core is that hi because i was trying toget it as stable as possible because prime 95 would stop after about 1 min into the first computation. tempurature are about 46 idle and 52 under load. but i have a sk 6 with delta 30cfm right now and will install that tonight. wasnt sure it was the temperature because i have seen it alot higher. its already unlocked. and what does the multiplier have to do with lowering the voltage? i tried to ask this before but didnt get an answer becuase it seems axia 1 gig do 1.4 with just core voltage so please explain:) and anything else would be greatly appreciated been banging my head against this for a week or so
thanks again!:)

update: it seems that with the sk6 my temps when down 6c which is really nice and my system seems to be stable now so far so good. temps were the problem from that i can tell
