What kinda wall is this? All was going so so good with G0 Stepping....

What kinda wall is this? All was going so so good with G0 Stepping....

I have been upping the overclock on my g0 today and it has been going flawless up until now. Lemme show you all the problem, I am not sure it is CPU related as it comes so abruptly. All cores under 50C at load.

Q6600 G0 Stepping

2.40 @ Stock volts

2.60 @ Stock Volts

2.80 @ Stock Volts

3.00 @ Stock Volts

3.20 @ 1.275V

3.30 @ 1.30V

3.40 @ 1.325V

3.50 @ 1.350V

3.50+ is not booting no matter what Voltage I am trying. It won't post, but does something similar to the famous DS3 Cold Boot Problem.

What do you all think the problem is? My Enhance 500W PSU, My motherboard, The Bios (F12), or the G0's are binned to the extreme.

Could be motherboard, try upping the voltage for it.

Check your motherboard's other voltages.. Northbridge, RAM, VTT etc etc etc

I remember after I set my CPU VTT to 1.55 on my P5N32-E SLI, I was able to hit ANYTHING (lol least it felt like) and the only thing that held me back was temps.

Usual Motherboard settings are:

CPU Multiplier X9
FSB failing speed 400-405
RAM 2.0xmultiplier 2.0V
FSB +.1
G(MCH) +.1

I have tried upping the FSB voltage and G(MCH) voltage to +.2, but it is not making a difference. The ram is good up to DDR1050 and I have it running DDR800 so that is not a problem either.

if you aren't at 3.6ghz and you are running ddr2-800 already, you must be running more than 1:1.

have you tried running the ram 1:1 and with 400fsb? that would give you ddr2-800 and 3.6ghz.

Well I am trying 400 FSB, but it is not posting.

The 400FSB times the 2 multiplier puts it right at DDR800.
