Ok, I have an e6750 which I'm overclocking right now (posting this on a laptop right now). I managed to get it stable/pass with Orthos at these settings:
FSB: 421
Voltage: 1.35 (default)
CPU Clock: ended up being 3488MHz
Temps: Idle - 23, Load - 58
Ok, so I attempted to push the FSB up to 436, but I got an error in Orthos on Core#1 (my 2nd core) after 3 seconds. So I decided to go try to change the voltage up 1 notch, up to 1.35625v, but I still got the error after 3 seconds in Orthos. Also, when I upped the voltage/went to load Windows, after the loading screen Chkdisk started to run and did tests (is this normal? Not sure if it is...but I was able to boot into Windows fine after it got done running Chkdisk/restarted). So then I decided to revert back down to the last stable reading I had, and Orthos didn't yell at me this time after 3 seconds.
So here's my question: Should I try to take the FSB back up to 436, and up the voltage 1 notch at a time until I stop getting errors with Orthos? Or is that dangerous?
Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it. And also, mind you, this is my first time overclocking =).
