My goal has always been 3.6ghz with this processor but I am afraid to do 1.7volts. My 3.5ghz was reached under 1.625 in bios cpuz says 1.664, and no i dont have water cooling, I am just running on air. I live in boston,ma is not that hot summer almost over

Congrats, I could only make 3.6Ghz after going watercooling but the 7Mhz FSB difference @ 3.5Ghz is negligible. Your system already flies!

Lancelot how hot does your processor run 3.6ghz under full load and have you tried going higher with water cooling?

Currently at 42C with 22C ambient. (full load running two Folding clients)
Take note that this is with a NB and GPU block in the loop as well...

I tried going higher but I don't want to go above 1.65Vcore. At 3.64Ghz 260FSB Prime95 becomes unstable, one of the clients drops out. And if I leave it at that speed I sometimes find a black screen and locked up system overnight. 257FSB is rock solid though, I even run Partitionmagic, DriveImage etc. at that speed! What's the sense in having a great OC but having to revert back down everytime you need to work on your setup anyways?
