You name it I have tried it. Fsb from 300-450, multi from 6-9 vcore from 1.325 to 1.6, fsb term to 1.55, nbvcore 1.35, I have tried everything under the sun. I cannot get 1 stable oc no matter what the speed or the vcore I fail super pi 32m, occt, prime 95. I'm not sure if it is my mobo p5b deluxe/wifi-ap or my e6600 retail conroe.

Specs:
MSI 500w 20a +12v rail
Intel E6600 Retail (stepping 6 revision B2)
Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2 800 (CAS 5)
Zalman CNPS9500 LED (Artic Silver 5)
Asus P5B Deluxe/Wifi-AP (0507 BIOS)
 
Yeah I can run anything at stock settings and nothing goes wrong. But if I change anything it just gets foobared.
 
I will be running prime 95 for at least 8 hours when I go to bed just to make sure that is at least 100% stable.
 
I ran a 3800+ X2 at 2.7ghz 24/7 and had it at 2.8ghz for benching. It should be able to run this with ease. Less juice required.

*edit* socket 939 btw
 
Make sure you have the latest BIOS for the board. The current P965 boards have an issue with 4MB L2 cache chips.
 
What is the highest bootable FSB? Have you tried running memory slower than FSB? (below 1:1) I know it's not the ideal config but you need to find out what's holding your FSB first.

 
I got 428 bootable and I could run firefox with wmp and it would be fine but any stability progs would cause it to crash. Yeah I put my ram at the lowest Divider I could.
 
No matter what you say, your power supply is what's holding you back. 20A on the 12v rail isn't anywhere near enough for overclocking a Conroe. Download this: SpeedFan 4.29, and tell us what all of your rails are reading. I'm guessing that your +12v rail will be low, even at stock speed.

edit: Also, you do know that your motherboard hates running RAM at anything except 1:1, don't you? Leave the RAM at 266, then overclock from there. And also make sure that you're giving your RAM 1.9v.
 
Speedfan doesn't always give accurate readings on the P5B Deluxe (or at least, it certainly doesn't on mine). I think you might be better off trying the software Asus bundled with the board (PC Probe II, I think).
