I just want to share my oc experience.
I'm having hard time to overclock my Q6600 with asus p5n32-e sli
(1203 bios) manage to get 3GHz @ stock voltage stable.
my fsb seems limiting my proc oc'bility. change to x8 multiplier,
i manage to get 353 FSB stable. I'm aware that p5n32-e sli is poor overclocker on quads. whistling.gif

Then? rolleyes.gif

The only way to increase the overclockability of your Q6600 on that P5N32-E SLi board is to do the Rev. A1 mod.
And by doing that, you'll void the warranty of your board. tongue.gif

Yes it does. However, your rig might not as stable as with an OC with disabled EIST/C1E.....

Another problem with EIST/C1E turned on, especially with high vcore, is that the vcore might transiently overshoot the safe limit when you go from load to idle.... that's one of the reason of having vdroop (you can read more about vdroop in my C2D/C2Q overclocking guide..... or you can google more about it)  smile.gif

For mild-moderate OC, with lower vcore, there shouldn't be a problem with enabled EIST/C1E.....

Thanks for the info. Just as i thought. It worked on my overclocked q6600 on p5n32-e sli.
But my problem is the vcore keep constant at 1.325V.
I aready
-vcore is set auto
-power management is set to "power saver" in windows vista
-EIST is set to enabled
-C1E is set to enabled
-TM1 & TM2 is set to auto

Did i missed something? Your suggestions would be appreciated.

Additional info
- my PC is prime95,memtest86 & OCCT stable at 2.4GHz@1.15V, 3.0GHz@1.325V
- EIST in action -- FSB 333MHz X 9 = 3.0GHz , FSB 333MHz X 6 = 2.0GHz

You mean the vcore is the same even when running at 2.0Ghz (333 x 6)? It shouldn't be.....

yup. still the same. LOL, i just realized my EIST stopped working. it stays at 2.0GHz even in full load.
