Reached chips limit ?

Just had a go at overclocking my E6600 on my new Asus P5k Premium motherboard and got it stable @ 9 x 360 - 3.25GHz. When i try running Orthos @ 370 FSB - 3.32GHz it comes up with an error in about a minute, on full load it runs at around 55c so i dont think its a heat issue.

Here are some screenshots from the Asus P5k Premium BIOS, i think i have it set up correctly but if i dont please tell me

Thanks for reading, look forward to your replies (especially from people with same BIOS

)

Take your CPU Voltage and set it manually.

well as it was on Auto it set the CPU voltage to 1.424v according to CPU-Z, presumed that would be enough ... should i go higher?

Manually set it to 1.45v and see how CPU-Z says.

ok running Orthos at 9 x 370 with 1.45v (CPU-Z says 1.424v) on core. Also upped the CPU PLL and FSB Termination voltages as a mate said it helps

You probably won't need to touch the PLL and FSB voltages til you're over 400mhz.

getting errors in 20 mins after trying 1.425v in BIOS, currently trying 1.475v in BIOS .. but the CPU on full load gets up to 64c ... what is the highest safe voltage on air i can reach and what kind of temperate is too high for it ?
