Hi, I would like to know what everyone is getting with this chip. Seems like I could only go up to 3.52ghz tops. With the cpu voltage at 1.4625(cpu z says 1.424). I could get it to 3.6ghz but its not stable. Prime95 fails after 10 mins of testing. I ran prime for a few hours @ 3.52ghz, it was stable. I've seen people post 3.6 - 3.7ghz with this chip and with a lower cpu voltage :/ Im running this chip with a Ga-p35-ds3l, 2x 1gig G skills 6400-800, ZALMAN CNPS9500 HS and a 500w antec smart power supply and a Evga 512mb 8600gts. my bios settings below, please give feedbacks/advice if I have something set wrong. Thank you.

cpu EIST/C1E disable
robust - auto
cpu clock ratio x8
cpu host freq 440
pci express - 100
cia2 - disable
Performance Enhance - standard
System mem multiplier - 2.50
memory freq - 1063
Dram timing - manual
cas lat - 5
Dram Ras#to Cas#Delay - 5
Dram Ras#to Precharge - 5
Precharge delay - 15
Act to act - 11
rank Write to read delay - 5
Write to precharge - 10
refresh to act - 46 can't go lower with my cpu freq @ 440 :/
read to precharge - 5
static Tread - 7
Static Tread phase - auto
System Voltage - manual
DDR2 Overvoltage - +0.3v
PCI e overv - normal
FSB overv - Normal
(G)mch overv - +0.1v
CPU Voltage - 1.45625

I would like honest feedbacks about my settings. I'm still new to this and at the learning stage. I just want to get the most out of my chip but obviously not over do it and fry it :/ I've tried setting my dram timings to all auto but still couldnt get my cpu freq at 3.6 stable. I dont know what else to do. Maybe its not possible with the components I have?

Maybe you are stretching your RAM speed to far? Also, some chips have their limits. You have almost a 1GHz OC, maybe you should just leave it... What will another 200MHz do for you?

Although, if you want to do it, go ahead.

drop your memory down to 2:1 when you go for your max cpu oc. 3.52 at 1.4625 in bios isn't bad at all, I need 1.52 in bios to get 3.4 stable. I got it over 3.7 when I bought the cpu back in july, but the vcore required to make it stable was VERY high and it produced a LOT of heat. Set your vcore to 1.5 and get the highest oc that you can get prime stable for 24 hours. If you don't run dc or any other programs 24/7 then re-enable the power-saving features after you have your oc running properly.
