Wow, one hell of a rig.. 24gb ram ?

Best ram for overclocking quaddies and duallies are the same. Just that each mobo and proc have different max fsb limit so the higher the ram can be clocked the better.

He's using Giga P35 DS3 which needs higher vcore to compensate the high vdrop and vdroop.

Try to orthos your proc, and slowly decrease the vcore if its stable.

high vcore = more heat

How can the crt be the problem if it doesnt even related to the processor overclocking capabilities ?

My guess is that maybe the psu is degrading causing the previous 3.4ghz working setting not usable.

Wah, a bit hard to understand this gtl thingy

increase the vcore more, my fsb max is around 490mhz. but to get at that speed i really need to pump a lot of vcore.

Depends on your cooling also. So get a good cooling first bro

Then should be no problem i think. Just keep it under 70c would do.

Nice oc for stock vcore, push the proc bro see how high it can do

My latest attempt with my DK P45 and Q6600 @ 3.8Ghz

Nothing wrong as long as you monitor the temperatures and i think its just for benching purposes not 24/7 so it should be ok for a short period.

Dual core would be better if you are just into games, quad core if you are going to do a lot of multitasking.

Depends on your budget too because quad core is more expensive compared to duallies.

It boils down back to your usage and cooling system, so if you wanna get the quad and run it stock dont worry unless you wanna oc.

What do you mean by 4ghz game ?

If you do multitasking get quad if not just stick to dual. Cheaper, cooler and easier to overclock.

No fireworks bah, silent killer

I think its bcoz of the wrong tjmax by the coretemp lol

Nice clock, but a bit loose for the timing.. Have you tried tweak the ram ?

Oh ya, missed that one.

Its good for a value 2gb x2 kit, what chipset those ram are using btw ?
