I am trying to get my PC stable with my Q6600 @ 3.6 (450 x 8), and ram @ 1128mhz 5-5-5-15-2T.

I bought this cpu 2nd hand because it can do 3.6ghz (450 x 8) @ 1.3375 vcore, 100.23% special add, vdroop: disabled; in a DFI X48 UT. I have had my ram at 1175mhz @ 5-5-5-15-2T before, but I have having problems getting them stable together.

With the current settings below, it will last 1 minute on OCCT before the PC locks up. The max temperature any CPU core reached was 63C. My chipset temps are fine. The AS5 still need time to cure and my water cooling loop still needs to settle, so I think temps will reduce over time.

popped up when I updated the bios to 08/29 and I have no idea what to set them at (I never changed them) and how they effect the overclock.

Please can you help, I would love to get my PC stable at these speeds!
