Hi....need some help here for any1 with similar hardware or just knowing whats going on

Went over to a friends house and tried oc-ing his rig. Specs as follows

Intel C2D E4400 L2 stepping @2Ghz with stock cooler
Gigabyte 965P DS3
2x1GB Kingston DDR2 667 value ram

Just decided to try a safe oc so left everything at default, let the bios decide on voltages, raised the fsb to 266(266x10=2.66ghz) and dropped the memory multiplier so that the ram runs at around DDR700. Everything loaded fine into windows and the bios set the core voltage at a rather high 1.4v Ran orthos blend test and it failed after 35 mins. Temps were quite high though reaching around 75C. Ok, went back to bios, and this time tried going for lower, this time 2.5ghz(FSB250). Reduced voltages also to 1.36v(1.32 after vdroop). This time orthos failed after 10 mins. Temps were still around 70C. So am wondering whats the prob. Is there anything wrong with my settings? Or proc is a total dud? Or the temps are too high? Any help will be apreciated

Hmm......will try that nextime Btw anything to look out for when oc-ing on 965 chipset? Like when need to pump fsb voltage and whats the average max fsb for this chipset?

Timing auto should be ok if you use a suitable ram multiplier
