failed overclock questions

[Saki630]

Im new to this kind of thing and i want you feed back on my failed overclocking.

I can run my E6700 stable with a FBS from 333-335 with my ram at 2:3 2.25v 4-5-4-15 ect.

But every time i try and go for anything higher like 3.5ghz or 3.6ghz (9x400) @ 1.55v+ my system boots up and then freezes up when i open cpuz


Does this just mean my cpu is maxing out at 3.33ghz and that i am expecting too much?

in my experience i never had any luck overclocking above 3.4ghz on anything other then 1:1 (533), that should be more then plenty voltage to get to 3.5, i have the 6600 a step below that one and can hit 3.7ghz 24/7 stable on 1.55vcore 412fsb 1:1. only thing i might suggest is step up the ram voltage +0.5-+1v depending on what you have it probably wont hurt. you should be able to hit 3.8-3.9 on this chip with proper cooling. (ps... when opening CPUz it will freeze for 20-60 seconds while it scans your settings, dont confuse this with your system locking up, it wont take more then a minuit tho if it locks up for that long then yea its your computer not the program)

ya my ram is at 2.25v which is still under the warranty. Im afraid of cookin the memory

when i open cpuz my comp stops then restarts so its the OC

could my mobo be the limitting thing by the way?
