Got my PhenomII X6 running @ 2500MHz with an occasional problem

RAM is @2000MHz
everything seems stable except that when I leave it on overnight sometime during the night it crashes.
My voltage is 1.7
it encodes fast
it is @3.5GHz
I want to get everything working right at these speeds.
 
it crashed again while some heavy encoding.
Heat at that voltage was not a problem as the heatsink feels cool enough to the touch.
 
The heatsink being cool doesnt mean the cpu itself is cool. As that could mean the heatsink has a poor bond to the cpu, so its not pulling enough heat out. What does HWMonitor or like say the temp is? To me 1.7 seems high. *shrug*
 
1.7v is not safe for AMD 45nm tech. It'd be even more fatal on Intel 45nm.

To get your CPU stable at a particular target speed, you start with stock voltages at first, and everything else as close to stock as possible (HT, Ram, etc). If you need a little more CPU voltage, that's fine, but 1.7v is insane.
 
really, is that 1.7V on the RAM or on the CPU?

If it's the CPU voltage, it's way too high; and for such a slight overclock. Seriously, if that's 1.7V vCore @ 3.5GHz, you need to set everything to stock speeds and go read some OCing guides, 'cuz you're doing it wrong.

And how much Ram are we talking about here?

In fact, how about posting you're entire system specs.
