680i and E6600 OC questions

i was ocing an e6600 on an evga 680i with a 74gb raptor and 4gb of ram for my uncle's server. we had to install windows server edition 2003 which sucked.

anyway, i started ocing and had had to raise the vcore to 1.3 from 1.28 and i cruised from an fsb of 1066 to 1511 in no time. it was a walk in the park

then i tried 1600 and it didnt boot. so i raised the voltages and etc. and it still didnt boot. i highest i raised my voltage was to 1.35v even though i have read many places that people had raised it to 1.45 and stuff for the speeds i was getting.

you think raising it to 1.4 would solve the stuck at 1600fsb problem?

because it was much stabler at 1.35 and i imagine it would only continue to get stable until it worked good in the low 1.4s

1.3v to 1511 and <1.4v 1600 and higher?

could this be the problem?
 
it was a server we built today

4gb corsair ram
74gb raptor
680i evga
e6600

..a regular computer. we just put windows server 2003 as the OS, does that make it ECC? what does that mean?

could the OS be limiting the OC? or could lack of voltage be doing this?

it was 3.4Ghz so totally easy. much more if the OS is causing the problem. i wish we could put xp on it but we cant. and he has every license and cd, but it has to be a server. dang... lol

nevermind, i have read into it. you can reach 3.4 like i did on stock vcore, but really have to overvolt it from there to get higher. by overvolt i mean 1.3 stock into the 1.4-1.5 range.

gah, i have to wait 2 weeks to do this. oh well, live and learn
 
its not a server!

its a regular computer and we installed windows server 2003 on it. i dont believe that makes it ECC, ECC has to do with the mobo


but my problem is i learned this:
stock vcore(1.3) gets you to 3.4
and you really have to jack it from there (1.4-1.5) to get higher

is this assumption correct?
