Yeah, you're right. This is new to me, and i'm learning thanks to you guys. I'll run the memtest and confirm if my memory is the culprit or not. Thanks again guys, i'll keep you all posted if I get a good OC.

I guess I did get a dud. Bummer. :( Oh well, 2.92GHz is better than nothing. Stable at 1.5v, i'm still testing it now at 1.48 to see if I can bring the temps down a bit. :(

i was think that, but the results that I may or may not get aren't worth it.

I'm kinda scared to up the voltage more. What voltage should I stop trying at? 1.5v? I'll definately try cranking the voltage up a bit more. I'm hoping that I don't have a bad OC'ing chip.:(

The maximum I can get this thing is 367MHz FSB. I had to change the PCI E frequency from 102 to 103, and the voltage is at 1.45. This is a head scratcher. :confused: Why can I do 400x7 without any problems, but as soon as I bump the multiplier up to 8, it fails to POST. What else changes...

not 100% sure. i just loaded cpu-z and it shows the bus speed at 364MHz as well as the memory, and since i'm running the memory at a 2.0 divider, then it should come to around DDR2-728. In the BIOS, the FSB is set to 365 though.:confused:

Note: I played with the voltage at 2.91GHz, and it seems stable at 1.42V. Orthos running 30 minutes now.

I'm sorry for not being clear. I tried the Moderate Overclock using this guide here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1169366 Got to 2.64GHz fine, ran orthos over night with no problems. Let me revise, I can POST at 2.91GHz, but running orthos it reboots in about 5 minutes into the...

Got a E6420 a few weeks back, and a DS3 Rev3.3 G.Skill 4-4-4-12 PC800 RAM, and the build went really well. I let the components break in for 48hrs. Then I upped the FSB a little (300MHz), and the system continually kept rebooting itself over and over until I cleared the CMOS. Found out there is...
