hi i,m new to overclocking. i am trying to reach 3.4 ghz and am currently at a stable 3.3ghz(8x412)@ 1.43 vcore(everything else set to auto) can't get stable @ 3.4 (9x400fsb) even when i increased the vcore to 1.5v.
I disabled C1E, Intel VT, Max CPUID, and CPU spread spectrum then enabled Load Line Calibration.

system -
cpu - [email protected](8x412) vcore - 1.43v
mobo-p5q deluxe (bios 1003)
memory - kingston hyperx pc 6400 @ 825mhz
cooler - thermalright ultra 120 extreme w/ noctua npf-12 fan
graphics - nvidia geforce 8600 gt-256
case - coolermaster cm 690 w/ 6x noctua npf12 fans
hdd - 2x 500gb sata
os - windows vista (32bit)
power - coolermaster real power pro 850w

how can i get to 3.4 without increasing the vcore to a level which is unsafe for 24/7 use? someones help would be greatly appreciated.

i saw there are some difference to what you have shown me. please tell me what i should change to help increase my overclock. once again thank you for your time and help.

Give these settings a try... you may need to change Vdimm depending on what the default voltage is for your RAM, and also vNB depending on the amount of RAM installed.

thanks for the reply. i will give those a try. btw -ram is 2 x 2gb. sorry . i should have stated that. i'm starting to think i got a dud chip. would those voltages given above be safe to run 24/7? (assuming all goes well) also with the pcie/sata voltage i don't want to stress the pci or sata drives, just the cpu and the ram. if set to auto will bios now not increase this voltage in relation to the fsb? and if i leave it at a low 1.5v, will that affect overclockability? thanks again for your help.

ok . itried those settings and i couldn't even post bios at either NBv settings or even when i increased the Vcore, still no post. guess i got a dud. still 3.3 ghz isn't bad i guess. guess i'll have to stick with this for now, although any further options are welcome.
