Hi guys

I'm pretty novice at over overclocking but I've just put together a relatively old system with the intention of overclocking the cpu and just after a wee bit help from you knowledgeable people!

I have:

P5K Premium board
Q6600 G0 SLACR
3 x 2gb DDR2 800 (2 from crucial & 1 pny) - timing & voltage specs are not on the sticks

My goal was to hit 3.4ghz and I have, just! I only managed it with Vcore set to 1.5125 in bios. in cpu-z it reads at 1.488v. Intel's specs for the chip are a max Vcore of 1.5v so I'm just about at that. Is there anything I can do to get this voltage down and keep it at 3.4? Temps are fine (low 60's under load).

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Ok, first thanks for your response!

VID (idle): 1.1625v
VID (load): 1.3250v

I have removed the pny RAM and set FSB Termination Voltage to 1.3v as suggested. Unfortunately it didn't make a difference. I reduced the Vcore to 1.5v and it only lasted about 20 secs running prime.

I wasn't happy keeping the voltage that high so am now running at 8 x 400 for a clock of 3.2ghz. CPU Voltage at 1.4250v. Changed the FSB Strap to North Bridge to 400mhz.

Have left everything else as it was.

Might just have to settle for that. Still think Vcore is high for 3.2ghz though :confused:

Thanks again for your input
