I've recently built a new system. I can't seem to get past 2.6 stable. I've been able to post into 3.0 with vCore set at 1.55 but not into Windows.

How high on vCore?
Where should the other various DRAM settings be set?
What can I do to improve this OC?

It runs stable at 2.6 with these settings:

These 6 are disabled
- CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)
- CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2)
- CPU EIST Function
-No-execute memory protect
-Limit CPUID Max to 3
-Virtualization Technology

Other settings
- Set Multiplier to 9
- Set CPU Voltage Control to 1.375
- Set CPU Host Clock Control to Enabled
- Set CPU Host Frequency (MHz) to 295
- Set PCI Express Frequency(MHz) to 100
- Set System Memory Multiplier to 2.00
- Set DRAM Timing Selectable to Manual
- Set CAS Latency Time to 4
- Set DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay to 4
- Set DRAM RAS# Precharge to 4
- Set Precharge Delay (tRAS) to 12
- Set ACT to ACT Auto
- Set Rank Write to Read Delay Auto
- Set Write to Precharge Delay Auto
- Set Refresh to ACT Delay 0
- Set Read to Precharge Delay Auto
- Set Memory Performance Enhance to Normal
- Set VDimm voltage to +.02
- Set (G)MCH to +.01
- PCI-E Normal
- FSB OverVoltage Normal

9x295@1.375=2.646
w/ FSB +.1v

TAT@Idle 48/52c
TAT@100% 59/62c

CoreTemp@Idle 34/35c
CoreTemp@100% 47/50c

SpeedFan@Idle core 0/1 34/24c
SpeedFan@100% core 0/1 47/50c

CPU-Z vCore @1.344 Idle
CPU-Z vCore @1.312 100% TAT
---------------------------------------------------

9x298@1.375=2.682

TAT@Idle 35/38c
TAT@100% 59/63c

CoreTemp@Idle 19c/21c
CoreTemp@100% 46/50c

SpeedFan@Idle core 0/1 19/21c
SpeedFan@100% core 0/1 46/48c

CPU-Z vCore @1.344 Idle
CPU-Z vCore @1.312 100% TAT

-----------------------------------

9x300@1.375 no windows
9x300@1.3825 no windows
9x300@1.3875 no windows
-------------------------------
9x300@1.39375=2.700 - this lasted @100%TAT for about 5 minutes then reboot.

TAT@Idle 35/37c
TAT@100% 60/63c

CoreTemp@Idle 21c/23c
CoreTemp@100% 48/51c

SpeedFan@Idle core 0/1 19/21c
SpeedFan@100% core 0/1 46/48c

CPU-Z vCore @1.360 Idle
CPU-Z vCore @1.328 100% TAT
-----------------------------

So it looks like FSB +.1v seems to help stablize the OC. Should the vCore be upped to improve stability?
