Someone asked me today what the max safe voltage you can put through the MCH and FSB of a mobo when overclocking, mobo is an X38-DS5, the same as mine, I've got my MCH at 0.2v and the FSB at 0.15v btw.
I got exactly the same settings here. Not sure what the max is tho.

alll depends on your cooling. You will hit your heat limit before you hit the other limits. Well you could hity ther FBS limit.
Well the guy is in the same sort of boat as me, he can't get above 3.2ghz with his e6600. I had 3.4ghz for a while (377 x 9), but found I got better results generally with 400 x 8 (3.2ghz), I think this is due to the memory running at default rather than underclocking. Like me, hes tried upping the cpu volts, MCH, FSB, and nothing seems to get him, or me for that matter, any higher. Both are temps under load are fine, mine 53c load and his is 55c load, so its not that. I've tried running at 415fsb with 8 multi but that means the ram runs above default and it doesn't like that either.
Seems to me that 400 x 8 or 355 x 9 is about the most he or I can get. Really don't know what to do for meself or suggesst for him to try.
