Not stable.

Ok well I recently hit 3.5Ghz on my Q6700. With the following settings

HT: 1.46v
NB: 1.46
SB: 1.56v
VCORE: 1.4v

I ran two instances of Orthos and my system crashed

I was wondering if there is anything else I should try tweaking. I tried raising the voltages slightly, but still no luck. And also since I have a quad core should I be running 1 instance of orthos or 2?

 

[just a noob]

whats your fsb speed?

1500

Instead of Orthos, I'd use Prime95, it'll stress all four cores at the same time.

You tried increasing the vCore a little?

Yup, I had it at 1.4v. Would it be safe to go higher than that? Or should I also continue to push the SB/NB?

Needs more on the VCore, anything under 1.55 is pretty much okay for 24/7 usage

with a 65nm core alteast(thats what the q6700 is) 45nm cores just don't take that kind of voltage 24/7

Oh wow 1.55 seems pretty high to me.
