Problem with E6300

I have an E6300 in a Biostar Tforce 965PT, using OCZ DDR2 1100mhz. I'm using a Prometia MachII. My problem is that when I first put the OCZ in I tried to run the E6300 around 3550, and it crashed, and ever since if I try to overclock at all straight from the bios it won't boot. I can get up to about 2450 using clockgen, then it crashes. Before I put the OCZ in and tried to go to 3550 I had some A Data PC6400 in it and could run 3300 or 3350 with no problem. Does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
 
That's pretty high for air cooling.

It might be your ram that is screwing up though.
 
A Prometia MachII is a phase change unit, not air cooling. Thanks for the thoughts though. I wondered if it was the ram too, but I put some A Data ram in it, that it had earlier done 3300 mhz with, but no go.
 
its not the core. I have the 6300 runs stable with stress testing at 3.3 butttttttttt something is holding me back. I cant stay stable above 2.8 ghz. I believe its the ram

OCZ Pc6400 2gig Platinum rev 2 .. apparently it doesnt like going above 802mhz
 
I have an E6300 that reached 3731 mhz (orthos 4 hrs +) with OCZ Platinum XTC PC2 6400 at 1066 mhz. Try loosing up RAM timing in the Northbridge, my ram is rated at 4-5-4-15 and I set it 5-6-6-18. You might have to find a setting that works with your mobo.

Congratulations, now if you can repeat that result and verify it with a screenshot, that would make you the current E6300 leader in the official Core 2 overclocking database. I encourage you to go for it. ;)

I suggest you read up on that thread and see for yourself (See page 8-9). I believe once the db is updated today, I will be on top of that list! Cheers.
