Q6600 + dominator

[JOSE T]

SO IT'S BEEN A MONTH NOW MY MOBO DYE , SO I PICKED UP A NEW ONE. THE Q66 RUNS HOTTER THAN WHAT THOUGH. I HAD A TUNER TOWER CPU COOLER THAT WASN'T WORKING. I DONT KNOW IF ITS ME, BUT I HAD IT UP TO 3.2 AND I GET 62 63 59 58. SO I GOT ME A NEW COOLER MASTER VA. WITH ATTIC SILVER 3 CPU PASTE .

I WANT TO OVERCLOCK AT LEAST 3.2gHZ, BUT MY 8GB OF RAM IS NOT LETTING ME. I HAVE A DDR2 1066 CORSAIR DOMINATOR. I GET BLUE SCREEN AFTER AN HOUR OF TESTING. IS THERE ANY GUIDE WITH MY MOBO AND RAM I CAN SET UP,,

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

First off, press that caps lock button, damn hard for me to read all capitals...

Next off, those temps ain't roo bad if that is you on full load, I generally try to stay below 70oC full load, ideally less.

If you are at 3.2 you are a FSB of 355? What VCore you using? If you set your FSB to 333 you will still get a nice overclock, and you will have a RAM memory divider that means your PC8500 RAM runs at 1066Mhz. Also make sure you are giving the RAM enough voltage, otherwise it can BSoD like mine has a tendency to do. 2.3v should do the trick.

Some motherboards do not like running 4 sticks of ram at a high speed, it puts more load on the Northbridge, which could be the issue. If you can't get it stable with 4 sticks, try 2 and see if it makes a difference.

If you're having issues with stability due to the 4 sticks of RAM, bump up the NB volts by one notch or so, that should improve stability!

Also, if those temperatures are on 100% load, there's no issue there at all. They look good to me! If you're unhappy with them, try a reseat of your CPU cooler.
