Trouble with g0 q6600 and P5Q Pro

[Tetranode]

This CPU is a g0 with a VID of 1.325, but I'm not even able to get it to 3150 even at 1.4V, so I'm thinking that I must be missing something here. I have a Scythe Ninja, so the problem isn't heat. My corsair memory allowed me to OC an e6300 to 3.325GHz, so I don't think that's the problem. I couldn't OC this CPU at all on my 965p ds3, so I just got this motherboard in the mail today and it seems the same. My bios is 0703

These are my settings:

CPU Ratio Setting: 9
FSB Frequency- 350
FSB Strap to NB - 333
DRAM Frequency - 875
DRAM Timing Control - 5-5-5-18
DRAM Static Read Control disable
DRAM Read Training disable
MEM. OC Charger disable
AI Clock Twister lighter
AI Transaction Booster [Auto]
CPU Voltage 1.4
CPU GTL Voltage .63
CPU PLL Voltage 1.5
FSB Termination Voltage 1.3
DRAM Voltage - 2.0
NB Voltage 1.28
NB GTL Reference [Auto]
SB Voltage [Auto]
PCIE SATA Voltage [Auto]
Load-Line Calibration Enable
CPU Spread spectrum disable
PCIE Spread spectrum [Disabled]
CPU Clock Skew [Auto]
NB Clock Skew [Auto]

I'd really appreciate any ideas. My goal is 3.2-3.3GHz and it seems like I should be able to do it. Prime 95 fails instantly even at 1.4V.

Thanks.

I would up the FSB termination voltage up higher to 1.45v which is the max safe volts to try first and perhaps lower if needed later to 1.4v. As well, up the NB voltage higher to 1.45v-1.50v.

Sorry, but no.

Those are far too high for a P45 board.
It's very different world going from P35 to P45; you don't need anywhere close to the same voltage unless you're trying to kill things.

Tetranode, see my template post in this thread:

I basically am answering the same thing there.

Try 1:1 man...i have no idea what RAM you have, but if it's 2x2 GB, make sure tRFC is loose.

When running 1:1, set tRD (Performance Level) to something very loose initially, like 12; then tighten later.
