Okay, I'm familiar with the P5B Deluxe and the way it wont post until the FSB is over 400MHz, but is there a similar thing with the P5B-E? I am trying to overclock a system consisting of a P5B-E and an e6600. It is rock solid at 366 FSB, but above that it starts to get iffy. Somewhere around 380 is where is starts being weird. I know it is not the ram, it is known to run 500MHz easily in other systems. So what gives?

Thanks
 
To reply to my own post, maybe 3.3GHz on a e6600 isn't that bad? I am running stock volts right now and the thing is running insanely cool (Scythe Infinity), so maybe I could up the volts. But yeah, maybe I'm just expecting too much from this chip. 3.3 seems to be a pretty popular number (with the 6600) without doing too much work.

Thoughts?
 
Yeah, after further tinkering I achieved better results. 3.4ish without too much trouble. If it were my computer I would up the volts some more and go for something higher, but I don't have the luxury of being able to monitor the temps when summer rolls around. Right now I have it running at 3.3 (ish...I can't remember exactly right now), and it's rock solid (8 hrs orthos).

Good enough for me, considering its not mine. Thanks for the replys. (oh, and I did kick the multi down to 8 for the overclock)
