okay im still having a little trouble with overclocking my e6600 2.4Ghz. at the moment ive managed to get it up to 2.8Ghz, and it stays at around 30C while idle. However, if i try to get it up to 3.0Ghz the system suddenly becomes very unstable. the stock voltage for the CPU is 1.45V, but ive set it up to 1.5V. increasing the voltage made it more stable. the only trouble i have with increasing it further is that this guide:
Core2Duo Overclocking Guide v1.1
states that i should INCREASE the voltage of the e6600 to 1.4v. so either the guide is wrong, or i am already running a bad risk at 1.5v of frying my CPU.
so can anyone tell me if its safe to increas the voltage further? if so, by how much? and whats the highest voltage this CPU can take before it becomes dangerous? or is it even the voltage which is making my computer is unstable?
if its the memory thats causing it, the default FSB for it is 800. but whenever i change that the motherboard wont let me boot, and ive already whipped out a motherboard simply by changing the timer settings of the ram from 'Normal' to 'Aggressive'. so basically if i have to change any memory settings to make it more stable, its a no-go, and ill leave it at 2.8Ghz.
