3.2 on Q6600

Having trouble hitting 3.2 on a P5Q motherboard. Using a corsair A50 with 2 corsair fans in push/pull. 3ghz is fine in 1.25v but I can't get 3.1ghz on even 1.275v

Edit; I have set DRAM Voltage to 1.8 and set the ratio so that it stays below its rated speed (800mhz)

Should I adjust the PLL voltage at all? All I have changed it FSB, Enabled LLC, CPU voltage, DRAM ratio and Voltage

What temps were you getting at that speed? I think the max volt I went to was 1.4, but that was for 3.6ghz. So, don't be afraid to push the volts a little more (try 1.3v) and keep testing. Just keep an eye on load temps

Temps are fine (60 degrees on hottest core running IBT). I didn't think I would have to increase the volts that much to go from 3.0 to 3.1?

That's with 1.25v in bios. Haven't tried any lower volts but I think it would go lower. When I say its not stable, it doesn't crash, it just locks up as you can't do anything but turn it off.
