Well i did it. Thanks to your help. I've been on these forums a lot in the past few weeks trying to get my proc to overclock more. For the past week or 2 I have been trying to get my proc over 2.9Ghz and stay stable. It wasn't happening. So then I was reading I read that I should up the Dram voltages to 1.9V. I did that, and I upped the CPU voltages to 1.36 and set my mem ratio to 1:1 and everything worked great.
By the way here are my specs:
Asus P5B Deluxe (By far the best motherboard I have owned. I didn't know it was this good.)
Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz @ 3.4GHz and stable.
Arctic Freezer Pro 7 (Excellent HSF for the money and it don't require you to take out the motherboard to install.)
EVGA 8800GTS@627/900
Corsair XMS2 DDR2 675

Nice job duder. Makes we wish I had gone with the e6600 :D

Edit:

And yes, the P5B kicks much ass :)
 
I played with it some more. I have it running at 3.6GHz but i had to change the timings to 5-5-5-15. What will give me the bigger jump? The timings that were at 4-4-4-12 or the proc at 3.6Ghz up from 3.4Ghz?

the processor at 3.6ghz
 
Do u run ur Artic Freezer Pro to max speed? is in it too loud for u ? Personaly me i cant stand such a noise! and u can mmake it run only 400rpm-800rpm-and then boom2700 rpm ,jesus! :/
 
I have Asus Q-Fan off so it's at it's max speed. Its not that loud at all surprisingly.
 
i have the same ram, just give it 2.0V and it'll do 4-4-4-12 @ 800mhz. mine was able to do 834mhz @ 4-4-4-12 and 2.1V.

These 12 Artic Fan's are realy nice.
 
Damn. Nice work Josh. By any chance, do you know what stepping your E6600 was? Also, what vcore are you using in the bios?
 
Hey thanks for the compliments. Sorry, I should of known that with the pictures, thanks for doing it for me. :)
No, unfortunately I don't know the stepping of my proc. I forgot to look. I guess I was just too excited. :( (if it helps any I bought it in late November) Vcore is at 1.36 on the proc.
I got my proc to run at 3.6Ghz with the lat at 5-5-5-15 ( I haven't tried to up the voltage to 2.0 on the dram. I have it at 1.9 now) I ran 3dmark06 and the performance was really poor at 3.6Ghz. I normally ran the intro where all the guys are in the ship preparing to get out to fight at around 65-70FPS. When i was at 3.6Ghz it was playing it at around 15FPS. Whats the deal?
Also my 3dmark03 scores are bad at 3.4Ghz. Anyone know what the problem is? I run games like Oblivion, BF2, Company of Heroes better at 3.4Ghz. Just my 3dmark03 score is bad. It's like 10K points off than normal. (06 is fine at 3.4Ghz.)
 
I think you could take that processor much higher, I had mine running at 3.8 with air and it was stable, also my temps were around 45/60 which is not bad. let me know if need help. right now I am running mine at 4.05 with memory at 4-4-4-4 1000mhz.

But then he'd be being a douchebag making this thread big and huge forcing people to scroll through a bunch of pictures just to get to the posts while annoying the crap out of us 56ker's and anyone else who wants to come back a second time to look at the new posts of the thread.
 
Yea... nice OC. I have to up my voltage to 1.45 for my E6600 to run at 3.4ghz stably. By the way, how long did you run orthos for?
 
So far only 30mins. But it has been stable for several hours of gaming. So would orthos matter?

What memory do you have?
 
I have crucial ballistix, it's some very nice memory, It's running at 4-4-4-4 1000mhz.

I think you guys are the douchebags for still using 56k in 2007 :)

with any luck I should be getting broadband in the next couple of months but the fact that I couldn't find a job makes the whole process slower.
