Hello!

Ive been having trouble getting my system stable, even a stock speeds.
Heres my specs:

Q6600
p35 ds3r
ocz2g8002g 2gb x 2
500w earthwatts psu
gtx 460

Ive tried increasing q6600 voltage through to 1.6 bios 1.55 in cpuz and it stills fails prime at stock. This board has bad volt drop but im not sure if this is the problem, ive done a pencil mod and this improved the vd slightly but didnt make the system any more stable.

The ram is fine, all setting correct, memtest ok.

ive tried everything... Bad motherboard? bad cpu?

Any suggestions? If i leave the motherboard voltage settings to auto its usable (web browsing) but still fails prime almost instantly. (and auto voltage bumps the cpu to 1.54 idle :( )
 
I dont have any access to spare chips or mbs :(. Its crashing on youtube vids let alone games lol.

The pencil mod just lowers the resistivity of a resistor on the mb, lowering volt drop. (normally allows for higher overclock on lower voltage)
 
Im pretty sure the psu should cope after doing a little research. jus stress tested the 460 with furmark, with no issues. Now my system seems more stable? Can a burn in improve overall system stabilty? The auto volages are lower in speedfan now. And it seems to be running prime 95 ok..


WTF?????

Whats going on with my 12v rail?

drops even lower when at idle.
 
The ram is 100% fine. running 5-5-5-18 and is getting the correct voltage. ran memtest for 24 hours with no errors.
Thankyou i will download OCCT and try to rule out the psu being the problem.
