My e6600 locks up if I attempt to go past 320mhz @ 9.0x multiplier (2.8Ghz).
As far as I know a 2.8ghz overclock with the amount of money I spent on this rig is beyond ridiculous. I lapped both the SI-128 and the IHS, but do to the mounting system on the SI-128 being the most un-intuitive thing i've ever encounted, as far as hardware goes, I think the processor/HSF contact may be "inefficient."

'm running:
E6600
Thermaltake SI-128 w/ AS5
EVGA 680i
2gb of Corsair XMS2 4-4-4-12
8800GTX.

I've tried upping voltages, lowering them, and some other things but I keep locking up at that point... Any ideas?
 
Sorry about my tirade, I'm a little upset atm. I've spent somewhere around $3000 on this build and i can't get more than a .4ghz overclock. :confused:
 
Highest I tried was vCore 1.450v vFSB 1.3 vMem 2.2
FSB at stock which is 1066/800.
Mem running @ 1:1 800mhz.

I've tried various voltages in between ,etc. Temps @ stock idle were about 40c and 50c under load.
 
*full* system specs help too. what mobo are you using? Some of them just plain suck for overclocking.

you watching your temps at all? How are the load temps/voltage rails at your highest stable overclock during prime? entirely possible that you need more juice...
