Ok so I finally got the contact core freezer and I must say it's working well. Now that I have this and plan to not purchase any more parts I want to get this q6600 OC to a good number.

Currently I have it at 3.21GHz. I tried to go up to 3.4ish and when running Prime95 the computer got a BSOD. I am still learning about all this so I am not sure why this is. I would hope with my setup I could get 3.4 or a little higher with no issues. Guess we will see! Do I not have enough core volts maybe?

For now I am using the lowest RAM settings and will try to move that up later. I actually just now bumped it up a little before I took the screenshots below.

Any way, here is my setup. If you don't mind looking over it and maybe give me some suggestions? Thank you!!!

This shot below is to just show you that I cannot just move the volts up to whatever I want. I am limited to these selections. So if you look at my vcore now and want me to go up keep in mind the next bump is 0.100

errrr, nvm, I read it wrong... mistaken it for command rate

I was referring to your static tRead value, it is also know as performance level, if you want you can google it for more info, but lower is better :) like other ram timings
 
how much more do you suggest? This will help me get higher right?

I just bumped it up to 3.34 but haven't ran any test yet.
 
change the multiplier to 8x and run your fsb @ 1600 for 3.2ghz - set your ram to ddr2 800, keep your 1:1 ratio 1650/825 -> 1700/850 etc..
