Hey, I need some help ocing my q9300 on a Gigabyte ep45-ud3p mobo. I can overclock it to 3.0 ghz no problem, but then when I try to overclock to 3.2 ghz I have issues with system stability. The system will restart at random times. I ran prime95, and it will run for about 6 hrs or so, but then one of the workers will fail. I haven't changed the cpu voltage settings yet - not really sure what the added options with a quad core mean. I'm also not sure what people would recommend for the vcore. At auto it reads around 1.2V +/- .016 using cpuz. The bios says it's at 1.1625, so there's some error.
My cpu host frequency is 427, with a 7.5 multi, putting my cpu at 3.2ghz. I don't think my memory is the issue - it passes memtest fine. It's running at 1068 at stock timings - 5 5 5 15.
Here are my system specs:
Coolermaster 690
Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W
Intel q9300
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
EVGA 512-P3-N879-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler
