I'm trying to overlock my Striker Extreme.
I have the C2D 6850 Proc (Stock 3.0GHz), Crucial RAM and an aftermarket air cooler (who's name escapes me).
I'm running my proc at 1600FSB to bring the total speed to 3.6GHz. I've adjusted the voltage to be 1.47v. I want to run the proc at 3.6GHz to take full advantage of my RAM running at 800MHz. This would be a 1:1 ratio on the bus.
My memory is running stock. MFG suggested voltage is 2.1v, I'm running mine at 2.15v.
Coretemp reports my cores at about 18C idle and never above 35C under load. I can run Prime95 for hours with no errors, I can run Memtest86 for hours with no errors. CPUZ seems to show my cores at 1.38v most of the time, which I don't really understand but whatever.
But once every two hours or so, when playing a game, my system just locks up. Hard reboot. It does not do this at stock speed. I'm wondering if I should adjust the voltages on the north bridge but I'm lost as to the voltage ranges and I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is there somethig else I should consider?
