I am brand new to overclocking but have spent countless hours researching and reading the basics of overclocking. I have gotten to the point to where I don't know where to go from here.

Specs
6300 C2d
P5b Deluxe
Gskill pc6400 5-5-5-15
Artic cooler 7

Here are the last settings that I was able to run Orthos for 2 hrs. I have my ratio set up for 1:1 and the FSB 333 Ram 666.
vcore-1.35
vMemory-1.9
fsb term voltage-auto
vNB-auto
vSB-1.5
ICH-auto

Now as soon as i try to up the FSB 2-5 mhz I can't get orthos to run for an hour.
Any suggestions or something i am missing?
 
2.33 from what i have read if good for 2 hour i should be able to bump up the FSB. Is what i have read wrong? or do i have to let Orthos run longer ? Like i said i am new to this and trying to learn. If that doesn't answer your question I can try again.
 
Raise the memory voltage to 2.1v and give it a shot. Most DDR2 can't run at high speeds without going over 2v.
 
The Gskill i am using is the NQ and says 1.8 to 2.0. Was running fine at 1.9.....Maybe try 2.0 first?
 
Well guys i think i have things a bit more figured out now. Kept the ram voltage at 1.9 (recommended setting)
At 2.8 right now running orthos and so far so good.
Load temp at 50 and idle at 37.

Think my problem i had earlier was that I disabled one wrong setting in bios but seems to be better now.
 
Always make sure you keep track of what the last few things you did in your BIOS were (or if your like me, keep a log of EVERYTHING you do to your BIOS.) That way, if one day your system decides it hates you and doesn't work or something, then you can go back and check to see what was done to it recently. It helps debug problems faster IMO, then again I just have a really shitty memory so I would probably forget what I did with my head if it weren't attached.
