Hi i have a question. Do you know how can i go up to 3.6GHZ E6600. It wont boot. It gives the BSOD after the windows logo at bootup. When i do a 400 x 9 = 3600Mhz. Could it be the memory holding me back its DDR2 667 Kingston KVR with no heat spreader at 1.9v. It works excellent at 382 x 9. The motherboard is P35 GA-P35-DS3P.
 
What volts are you using on the processor? You might have to up the voltages on your RAM and Chipset also.
 
have you upped the CPU voltage?

Loosened the ram timings? added voltage to the ram?


Have you tried 8X 400 to see if the ram will do 400?
 
The default ram volt is 1.8v. So i put to 1.9v. Also the cpu vcore is 1.4. It still dont work. The fsb vcore is .05. It still dont work either. I have not tried 400 x 8.
 
Your board should hit 400FSB without increasing any voltages other than your vcore (CPU) and your vdimm (memory). Set your vcore to 1.45 and your vdimm to 2.1. You should also set your memory timings to 5-5-5-15. Make sure your memory is running 1:1 (a setting in bios, not sure what it is called on a GB board). Depending on your batch code (CPU) you may be able to reduce your vcore some, or you may have to increase it even more. But then temps will become an issue.

Perhaps if we knew more about your set up we could give you better advice.
 
My E6600 needed 1.45v to get to 3.6GHz, so try that first. Then try upping your RAM voltage to 2.0v and lossen the timings.
 
The Setup is like this 400 x 9. The ram is DDR2 667 KVR Kingston model: KVR667D2N5/1G at 1.8 cas= 5.

Ram ratio at 2.00 1:1 so 400x 2 = 800Mhz ram frequency
ram at 1.9v
northbridge: Normal
FSB: Normal
PCi Express: 100Mhz
CPU Vcore: 1.40000
 
who manufactures the actual chips on the ram and what are the markings on the chips?

kingston makes this ram with the flavor of the month chips and some are better than others.

and i agree, youre going to need more cpu volts than 1.400v. I always do it the lazy man's way and set it to 1.5v and work my way down until i crash and then work my way up until I don't :p
 
Slot one it says 12/07, Slot 2 it says 30/07, Slot 3 it says 10/07 week/year. The markings on the chips are different one is Elpida and another two are no brand names. I also tried the 400 x 8 now. It still failed to boot to windows. So iam assuming its the Memory. I could be wrong.
 
Yeah...it is your memory. It is CAS5 for DDR2-667 which is for rigs with little to no OCing. Some modules may go higher but typically if it is advertised as CAS5 at that speed (667) then it is made for OEM rigs more than the average OCer.

Do your self a favor and order these. It wil be the best $50 you could spend for your system. Though they are also DDR2-667 they are CAS3 and have the Micron D9GMH ICs that OC like mad. Once you get those you can dial in 2.0vdimm and 4-4-4-12 timings and you will be good to go at 400FSB.
