I've just put together a PC with a Gigabyte 965P-DS3P, an E6300 with Tuniq Tower and 2x1GB Geil PC6400C4. The problem being that the CPU won't clock at all. Even a trivial overclock of 280x7 with my RAM underclocked to 700MHz causes crashing under TAT, with temps hitting 63C.
I've tested the RAM at 900MHz in Memtest, so I'm sure that's got plenty of head-room. I've tried re-seating the Tuniq and even swapped out the Tuniq TIM for some AS2 I had lying around, but no difference. Is my CPU just duff? It seems a long way from the general feedback on OCing E6300s.
