I tried overclocking today... But first of all, for some reason, I cant exit memtest68. And if windows fails to boot, I cant selstc what I want to do for some reason though I could do it before.
Anyway, I could get my RAM to only 250 mhz 2 2 2 6, and for some reason it gets even more errors at 3 4 4 8. My voltage is 3.3 V. Any higher and I get more erors, probably because I havent set up active ram cooling yet.
I got my CPU up to around 2350 mhz stable without voltage increase, but above that even with my voltage at 1.5 volts it wasnt stable. It just kept on looping the reboot. And when it got into windows it crashed. I had to clear the CMOS a bunch of times.
Any tips? Whats a safe volatage for the CPU? Any idea's why I cant exit memtest?

firstly is 3.3v your stock vdimm for the ddr500. You should really be getting errors with ram at stock volts with loose timing like 3-4-4-8. Does your memory test ok at stock core clock

ideally you dont want to be upping you vcore much over 1.7v
