Hello guys, I hope someone would help me out here. I am quite new in OCing and hope I can learn more from pros here.
I recently brought a Q6600 (G0 with VID 1.2875) + P5K-E/Wifi-AP board (BIOS 1305) and hope to OC it to a stable 3.2GHz.
But it seems I can't run it stable in Prime95 Blend test. After 12-13hr, 1 of the 4 worker will fail. (Or should i use Small FFTs test?)
I tried increasing the vcore till it run at just 70'C on max load. But still 1 of the worker still fail. (Using TrueBlack with 2 fans)

Many of the setting I am not sure what they mean so I set them at auto.
Can anyone enlighten me what they mean and direct me to what setting should I set them at

I am also using 2x 1GB Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 (Old 2 sided chip that run @ 2.2v, Model-BL12864AL1065)
I am running them stable @ 4-4-4-12, 949MHz @ 2.05v passing memtest32+ for 22times without error
Do you guys think I should run them @ 2.2v at higher speed or lower the speed to 1:1 ratio or maintain just is they are now?

Below are my setting
In RED are the option that I can choose to change to

you need a lot more vcore. 70 degrees on max load is nothing

[ahcalvin]

ok will try increasing the vcore. but other setting sld i change?

[ahcalvin]

seems like after I change these 5 setting, everything is stable. guys is there any other setting I need to change?

PCIE Frequency [100]
CPU Voltage [1.35v]
CPU PLL Voltage [1.50v]
FSB Termination Voltage [1.20v]
NB Voltage [1.25v]

hi there may i know whats ur final temps? cos i tried 400X8 on another board it seems to run but not stable so dropped to 350X9 (3150) is slightly over 70C with a red scorpion. cant increase any further liao. dun dare to increase vcore any higher le for mine.
