I have tested prime95 for 1 hour and everything is stable. Max load temp is 57 degrees. But 3d games are very slow!! Any ideas why??
 
Do you have a divider on the memory? i'm not sure cause i havent worked with c2d but 377 is an awfully high reference clock..
 
To put a divider on your ram is to make it run slower to compensate for high reference clock speeds but before we get more into that.. does the e6600 have a x10 multiplier? if so bring that up to 10 and lower you reference clock speed to 320-340. Then check to see if you are running alittle faster.
 
nevermind i didnt notice your ram.. hmm.. try going back to your vid cards stock speeds and testing some games out then.
 
My bus speed is 400mhz with a multiplier of 8.... No heat issues....

Vcore of 1.344
FSB of 1600.00

A higher FSB will normally yield 'faster' results. So long as your processor speed doesn't change int he comparison.
