Nightmare overclocking with GA P35 DS4

Trying to find it's max clock on my Q6600 with this board. However if I find one then it POST's and runs fine on Prime with good temps and I go to change anything it gets into a reboot loop.

For example earlier I was priming at 3.6GHz and the temps were fine. As I'd put in a high voltage I thought I'd up the FSB from 400 to 420 (nothing major, should at least POST) while keeping the memory s close to 800 @ 5-5-5-15. Wouldn't POST. After a set of annoying reboot loops it reverts to stock then I finally get in the BIOS. So I thought, this board is annoying me I'll just stick it back at 3.6GHz as that's fast enough really. No POST, annoying reboot loop again.

Finally got it to POST at 3.6Ghz now but I reckon if I reboot it'll do the same thing again.

Any ideas? VDIMM at +0.3, tried VFSB and MCH at +0.1 no diff. VCore currently set at 1.525 in BIOS, prime load it shows 1.44V in Everest and CPU-Z.

Sorry lads, RAM was at +0.3V as per the right Voltage what it requires. I'm a bit concerned about pushing it harder as it's 4 sticks packed tightly together and they produce a lot of heat.
 
Yeah just installed it and managed to hit 3.33GHz straight away, something that I'd struggle to do with the old one.

I also like how it tells you what the target CPU speed will be when you adjust the FSB.
