i wanna go further!!!

ok so i got my E6600 up to 3.30ghz
and i wanna go further but as soon as i hit 3.40 it restarts during a benchmark, i upped the voltage on the cpu still no luck any ideas, temps are fine

You are hitting the limits there I think. check your temps with realtemp while running benchmark stay under 65c, it may be shutting itself off because of high temps. I had an E6550 I was only able to push it to 2.8 and keep it under 60c. be careful.

nah i dont think hes hitting the limits,ive seen on some sites even my e6300 can go up to 3.1-3.2 with good cooling and good ram.

yeah i hit 3.36 on my E6300 and 3.6 on my E6400. i think you might have hit an FSB wall or temp limit. check your core temp by using coretemp or realtemp. if not just take a jump in core clock by about 10 mhz.
