many thanks for any replys

What os are you running? 64-bit os it's a lot harder to get stable at higher speeds. Have you tried raising the voltage to the imc to compensate for the added stress?
 
Punctuation would make your post almost readable.

Some chips just clock better than others. It's all about finding the proper combination of cpu, board, ram, voltage... etc. Some cpu's won't have a stable overclock no matter how much voltage you put through them. It's just like some Tri-cores can have the 4th core activated and others can't.

Right now, I have 9850BE that clocks to an OCCT stable 3.375Ghz ( 225 x 15 ) at 1.36v on AIR. Supposedly, few people have gotten this clock at this low a voltage.
