Q6600 at 3.3. Bit more help to push it further plz

I'm new to overclocking but have managed to get my clock stable a 3.3 (9x368) Just through changing the FSB. Anything above that I start to get errors. I'm got it running at 1.45v. Seems to idle at 30 degrees, and under load its steady at 50.

I'm only using the uguru software at the moment, mainly because its easy for me being a beginner.

I just need a bit of advice of how to get to 3.6, I would like 3.6 but even 3.4 would be happy at that..

To get any higher would I have to up the northbridge and southbridge voltages? And what would be the best way to do that, increase by a notch? then test?

Do you raise both north and south at the same time?

MCH = northbridge voltage.

Whats CPU VTT and ICH then?

Thanks for the help btw..

Managed to get it stable at 3.4 (9x380) Ran Prime95 all night no errors. Was a little worried it may blow up in the middle of the night or something..Running at 50-52 degrees.

Used to get errors as soon as I ran everest stability test on anything over 368. Upping the CPU VTT and Northbridge has stopped that.

Whats a high temp for the PWM Phase? Highest temp was on one of them at about 80 degrees, is that normal? Noticed that increased when I increased the NB and VTT volts.. Uguru has got the warning set for PWM at 110 degrees..
