Just tried to overclock slightly, 300 x 7 which is nothing, increased the vcore to 1.45 and the ram +0.3 to 2.1 (i think) and things just come up not resposing in windows, whats going on?
 
Whats that called in the bios

specs are btw

DS3
E6300
Geil PC6400C4 (5-5-5-18 according to cpu-z?)
7900GS
OCZ Modstream 520w
 
no i havnt, i did try but there was more than i thought, i set them to 4 4 4 12 in order of the list, but then below the 12 was another one to set which i wasnt to sure about
 
Have you set the RAM multiplier to 2.0 and locked the PCI-E Freq to between 100 and 105?

Also have you looked at the DS3 threads in the motherboard forum to see what to disable to help overclocking (USB Legacy etc)?
 
I disabled the usb legacy thingy, the ram multiplier was at 2.5, now its at 2 and all seems ok.

But the ram now runs at 600mhz?
 
In actual fact, i will try it tomorrow when i got more time if i need to reset the cmos :D

EDIT

Thought i would try 7 x 400 and it seems ok :| 2800mhz, memory at 800mhz @ 38degrees

EDIT

Turned on my pc this morning and after a while it rebooted its self. Trying 375 x 7 now see if that works :|

Ok nothing works, it lasted at 375fsb for a while then things started not responding and it rebooted it self :(

vcore = 1.425
ddr = +0.4 (2.2)
MCH = +0.1
PCI = 100
Ram multiplier = x2
fsb = 350
ram timings = 4 4 4 12

Where am i going wrong?

Based on recent advice I received:

Slacken RAM to 5-5-5-15, drop CPU multiplier to 6, set PCI/E bus to 100MHz. Disable Legacy USB devices, Floppy drive controller and all 3 thermal settings.

Set VCore to 1.45V, DDR2 to +0.4 (for your Geil), PCI/E, G(MCH) and FSB all to +0.1V.

Try that at 350MHz and increase by 10MHz. Run Orthos for 10 mins. If it fails, drop by 5MHz and retry.

Mark your max FSB, then work with RAM timings and CPU multi's
 
i will try those settings later on tonight,

i d/l orthos sp 2004 and i did the blend one (cpu+ram) and it lastes 4 seconds with a fatal error, i then tried the cpu one it is going fine.

Is the RAM faulty? It is a geil and there are some faulty ones going about.

i'll slack off the timings to 5-5-5-15

EDIT

Narrowing it down to the stock cooling. Running the memory on its own is fine aswell, While stressing the cpu EasyTune is showing around 38degrees and Coretemps is showing 68degrees which is high, this is only at 2.3ghz aswell.
