for some reason when i overclock to 3 ghZ on my q6600, after running prime95 for about 5 minutes my pc restarts. The temps are at 40-50 C when running prime 95.I've played around with the voltages and same results for all the different ones. 1.312, 1.344, 1.325... What could be the problem.

how many sticks of ram are you running ?


at what voltage is your ram running ????


which power supply make and model are you running ????

im running 2 sticks of 2gbs ram, my ram is at 1.8 v, and my power supply is a coolmaster real power pro 650 watt.

first find out what make and model number your ram sticks are by using
cpu-z / memory tab

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php


then look up the specs for your memory sticks to make sure they can handle increased volts like up to 2.1 volts


if they can / then bump your vdimm voltage (memory voltage) to 2.0 or 2.1 volts and try the stress test again

i put it up to 2 volts and i tested for 1 hour and it had no mistakes. the highest that the core got was 51 C. tonight ill run it for like 8 hours and see the results.

you can get a lot more out of that q6600, bump the core voltage to 1.4.

what stepping does it have (e.g is it the SLACR)?
