Hi, well I been having toruble getting my C2D E6600 over 3.2ghz, it reaches 3.2ghz with no voltage increase over stock, but as soon as it gets any voltage increase the omputer resets, now someone said that this could be to the NB holding it back so changing the voltage form auto to 1.5 should od the job, now he did not have the same mobo as me tho, so I am just wondering, is it safe to increase it to 1.5? I have got a 60mm fan sitting on top of my cpu facing the nb and cooling the heatsink atm.
Asus P5N-E Sli NB Overclock?

I dunno whats I've done, but increasing the FSB over 1333Mhz now results in no booting after saving in bios unless I press reset or turn the computer off, and when I get into bios after resetting the CPU speed is back to 2.4ghz, got it at 1333mhz FSB atm running at 3Ghz. Before in Orthos I was getting fatal error hardware failure at 3.2ghz since upping NB voltage, since then put it back to normal, all reset, now back to 3ghz, 3Ghz runs fine in orthos and I believe 3.2Ghz will work again but I dont understand why I cant go over 1333Mhz anymore since when at 3.2Ghz the FSB was at 1420 
I thought it may be a hardware problem, but the fact its not booting when I go over 1333Mhz FSB confuses me

All Mobo's have a max FSB that can be reached, another added issue is that at a certain fsb's, the mobo changes its timings (nb i think) so with this board its best to avoid those fsb's.willhub said:
