Ok, here's what I have:
Intel Quad Core Q9400 2.6GHZ
Gigabyte mobo GA-P43T-ES3G
G. Skill F3-10666 ram 4 ram sticks X 4 = 16 gb
Zalman CPNS9500 AT2 CPU cooler
ATI Radeon HD 5770 video card
600 W PSU
I have gotten my CPU overclocked stable at 3.4 GHZ with:
CPU Multiplier 8.5 (.5 from fine tuning) 1.275 Vcore in Bios (1.232 in CPU-Z)
FSB 400 MHZ,PCI 100 MHZ, MCH 400, 3:5 FSB/DRAM, SPD 3.33D, stock timing 9-9-9-25 108 2T, Prime95 runs 64 degrees after 10 minutes...
anything above this and it's unstable no matter what I try. I've upped the Vcore to 1.320v, NB to 1.4 and DRAM to 1.6 with no luck. it won't even post.
I have been able to get FSB 415 MHZ to work if I turn down the DRAM speed to 333 wiht 3.2B SPD. Any ideas on how I can keep this cpu clock speed and get my ram up to 666? No matter what the CPU is, if the Ram is set above 1333then it won't post.
thanks for the help!
