Help Overclocking a E6600!!

[Vapor03]

Im running into alot of problems trying to overclock my E6600. The max i can get it to is 2.7 GHZ anywere past that doesn't last longer then 2 min...

I have the CPU watercooled so the temps are not the problem. How can i get this thing to overclock more? stock ram is 667 i have it right now @720 4-4-4-15-15 2.1volts..

Anyone know what my problem might be?

Your motherboard. The pre-680i nVidia chipset Intel boards are known for having poor overclocking performance. If overclocking is important to you, you should consider getting one of the new nForce 680i chipset boards to replace your current one.
