e6600 overclock.... Help an overclocking noob

[ulater6000]

Well Ive never really done much overclocking but I really wanted to try.

So why not learn on someone elses computer before you risk doing it on your own?

So yesterday I talked my friend into letting me overclock his e6600.

I managed to get it up to 3.37ghz on stock cooling and stock voltage.

I had the fsb set at 1500. I really wanted to get it to 3.4, however if I spead the fsb up to anything beyond 1500 the system would not come back on and I would have to pull the cmos battery out and set the system back to previous clock settings.

So does anyone know what Im doing wrong?

I'm no overclock expert, but I believe you have to up the voltage to stop it from crashing. Read the stickied guide in this section, because I believe you only up the volts by very little (something like .025 volts). Can anyone follow me up on this?

well the stock voltage is 1.35v I had the voltage as high as 1.4v and it still wouldnt work.

up the fsb voltage some. What ram speed/timings you running at? If you've kept it 1:1 its gonna be something stupid.

The default ram timing is 800. I can not remember what the ram was set on... I want to say it 1100 but it could have been just 1000 or 1050. I remember I could not get it to go faster.

Also the ram has a cas latency of 3.

The voltage on the ram is 2.1v stock however I raised it to like 2.175v

What should my FSB / RAM timing ratio be?
