Can't... get.. any.. higher... suggestions?

[xyber]

Okay so I can't my Q6600 G0 to O/C any higher on my DS3R at 8x400 (3.2ghz). I've read the how to overclock gigabyte xxx thread and the how to overclock C2D/quadcore thread.
A funny thing is that I can get to 3.2 ghz at a 1.35 vcore but I can't get it to 3.3ghz at like 1.375 or higher.


Here's what I've tried:

All power saving options off.
2.00 memory multiplier.
Used a 9x356+ (3.2ghz+)
Ram timings at 5-5-5-15
Overvolted everything by +0.1V and tried a +0.2V on the memory
Used 1.375 vcore and higher vcore.

Temps:
Idle at 1.3500 vcore = 34 C on all cores
Load at " " = 54 on all cores

Specs:

Q6600 g0 with tuniq tower
P35-DS3R rev. 1
4x1gb of G.Skill DDR2 PC6400 5-5-5-15
8800 GTS 640mb
Corsair 520HX
HD raptor

Well, from my experience (e6750)

You should bump the vdimm to 2.2v, until you can find a speed you like, then tweak that later ..

I was using up to 1.58 vcore going to 3.8GHz ..

I can get to 3.2GHz stable on stock voltage .. 3.6GHz i needed allmost 1.46 vcore ..


So i would bump up the vdimm to 2.2v and the vcore to .. 1.4v - 1.45v ..

You should be able to do it then.

Now, I'm not sure if its different with a q6600 than a e6750 .. voltage wise ..

But i think you should be able too O.o

2.2v on the RAM is equivalent to +0.4v in the Gigabyte BIOS

with 4x1 gigs of ram, you may have to add some voltage to the northbridge as well.
