Striker Extreme & Q6600 GO - OC'ing issues and help requested.

hmm well PLL is the Link between CPU and FSB might be called something different on your board? now I am not to sure exactly what is a "safe" voltage for PLL was told that I am ok to bench @ 1.7v but that is really the max, had mine set to 1.5v for my 4ghz prime run and hasnt blow up yet :) but did seem to help with stability issues i had at 4ghz+ clocks
 
Right then, I'm going to try these settings for a small increase to my current OC and hopefully achieve 3.20Ghz:

FSB: 1424
CPU Multi: 9

Vcore:1.45
Memory:2.05
1.2v HT:1.60
NB Core:1.45
SB Core:1.60
CPU VTT:1.40

RAM @ 5-5-5-18 / 2T

My aim is to have voltages which are clearly too high for an OC of 3.20 therefore lowering the chances that my voltages will have an affect on stability. The RAM timings are loose and I know they work at this because when everything is on Auto, those are the settings which CPU-Z reads. Hopefully this should eliminate a lot of variables so I can just alter the RAM divider and see if that helps me get stable.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what MEM DDR, Mhz settings I should try (my RAM is Corsair XMS2 6400C4)? Or should I just start at something like 600 and move up in increments?
 
i would start at 800 (divider 1:1 ). link the memory and determine how far the memory will over clock before topping out. When the memory tops loosen the timings.

By working out the head ceiling of the memory you can apply that speed in the Bios. Then unlink the memory and O/C the FSB in the normal manner.
