However avg temperatures on each core is 70 :/ its a G0 Rated Q6600 using a zalman cooler , on typing this i just done the prime95 test and it crashed :/ when i got the pc it had allready been overclocked to 3.5 GHZ and ran ok.

Ideally what should i be running the machine at?

Q6600 G0
Zalman cooler
Antec P182 Case
HIS 4870 1 GB
4Gig crossair dominator
 
from the looks of it your northbridge voltage is pritty high

im useing the same board and same cpu @3.6ghz with a much lower northbridge voltage.

care to share settings? :)

try 1.40v or 1.45v or 1.55v max that should be all thats required for 3.6ghz
stick the strap on auto
and lower your cpu voltage you should only need about 1.45v for 3.6ghz max.
also with a auto strap its going to lower = DRAM Frequency: DDR2-1200, i dont think your dominators are going to quite cut the mustered at that speed as you would need lucky pc9600 stuff. like my OCZ flexII stuff it does 1200 ;P

Edit:

also disable static read control.
stick your pci frequency on 105-108 max

great thanks , can you think of any other settings that would help?

I would have to go into my bios, havent been in there in a wile lol ;P
before i do, when you change those settings, go into dos and run memtest 86+ latest version and do 10 complete passes and if no errors then we can work on your cpu stability.

no idea what memtest is and howto use it :(

do a search on google, memtest 86 it will take you to there webpage
instructions are on there to make a bootable cd or even better if you have a pendrive ect ect

its pritty easy to use, its the best memory testing program out there.
if your memory isnt stable it will soon let you know about it.

keep a close eye on tests 5-6-7-8 as those tests stress your memory the most.
 
FSB is fine, as your useing 9multi it will only go as high as your 3.6ghz cpu limit. so dont worry to much about it becuse it wont flake out with the northbridge voltage your putting though it. though i would reduce that per my instructions above.

Why does it only have a 3.6ghz limit for his cpu. I know people on here that have 3.8 and one has 4ghz with this cpu?
 
pjackson i have the same chip and mobo what speed you at and is it stable??

are your settings as above??
 
thats his problem you noobs lol he isnt stable even at 3.5ghz anymore.

also peter, change your multi to 8 and up your fsb more go as high as 3.5ghz on your cpu again and then run the memtest test 9multi is ok but that board can do a 8multi on that cpu with even higher fsb.
