q6600 bsod at 3.2ghz

bcham · 2 Dec 2010 at 17:52

my quad6600 runs fine at 333fsb, (3ghz) but when upping to 356fsb for 3.2ghz.
my temps drop lower,35-35-38-38 and all seems good,until i start a game then i get bsod.ive upped the volts from 1.25v to 1.50v but still crashes.should i try higher cpu voltage,or is 1.50v to high.

Are you running the ram at the correct rated voltage?

my ram voltage is set to auto in bios.

chipps101 · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:16

try 8 x 400 instead of 9 x 356 to get to 3.2, that will let you run your ram at 800mhz.

the board is more than capable of running 400 and higher fsb as that is what i run my q9550 at on mine

bcham · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:17

tried 8x400 pc wont boot.

chipps101 · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:19

what steppng is your cpu ?

have you set your ram speed to 800 in the bios ?

Most ddr2 will default to 1.8v on auto, though they can be rated up to 2.2v depending on manufacturer.

EDIT:Check the sticker on the side of the ram for the rated voltage.

chipps101 · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:22

yeah as setter says if it is ddr2 800 cl 4 stuff it probably needs 2.1v to run properly

bcham · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:26

i have ram set to 766 in bios.rest on auto

chipps101 · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:27

set the ram voltage to 2.0v and 800 mhz and try 8 x 400 fsb

is this your ram ?

2.0v for this stuff

or is it this stuff ?

1.9v for this stuff

setter · 2 Dec 2010 at 18:28

I had a look on the Gskill website for ddr2, the range varies in voltage requirements.

http://www.gskill.com/products.php?c1=1&c2=2&c3=4

Some at 1.9v, some at 2.1v, if you check on your particular kit the voltage requirements will be listed.

just set the ram to 2.5v in bios game crashed after arround 3 mins,
on ram box it says 2.0.~2.1v

Whoa, i hope thats 2.05?, 2.5v is way to high on ddr2, set ram voltage to 2.100, also try upping the north bridge (NB) voltage a few notches.

EDIT:Id have a read through this guide, contains a lot of info on clocking with the p5k series boards.

i set the ram v to 2.0v and 8x400 ram at 800 and it booted,then on the first part of 3mark 06 it did bsod

VaderDSL · 2 Dec 2010 at 19:03

Have you run memtest just to eliminate the possibility of isses with the ram?
