Ep45-ds3l o.c q6600

[ando]

hi,

i've just registered here for some help if you guys are willing to help

basically im trying to get my Q6600 (G0) at 3.6 stable on a EP45-DS3L

i've set my vcore to 1.52 to compensate for vdroop and it varies from 1.42-1.47 in windows

now im wondering what other voltages are needed for the MCH and I/O, im running my memory at 1066 not O.C at 2.1v which is required.

if anyone could help that'd be great as at the moment after testing for a hour or 2 it BSODS

cheers

Re: Ep45-ds3l o.c q6600

Well 3.6 on a Q6600 is hit or miss and can be very hard to get stable. To add to that you have a L Series board so you may have a little more work to do

*EDIT*
Sorry, forgot to ask. Do you know what BSOD Code you get (Format 0x00000000)? And is it always the same?

Can you please link us to your ram and give us your settings and we will try to help you get things going >>>

This is Just a template I use to ask people their settings, pay no attention to the numbers in it, replace with yours
