My Q6600 can't overclock over 2.7 GHz .
My spec:
Mobo: Msi g41p33 combo
Ram 4x2 1333 (8GB)hcl
PSU: cooler master thuder 450w
GPU :Asus gtx 750ti
I tried oc in an MSI software named oc Centre when i oc to 3.0ghz(333x9)
System or game crashing
Is that problem with my processors

Also tried in bios then won't start
Fan on- off to 4-5 times then automatically turned on in default settings

Hi, from what I can see, the Msi g41p33 combo doesn't have any heatsinks on the VRMs so overclocking on that motherboard will be limited. Overclocking generally requires higher voltages and the process creates more heat output on the VRMs. If the VRMs get too hot, they become less efficient and can start causing system crashes. One solution is to get some DIY mofset heatsinks and stick them onto your VRMs.

Also, what CPU temps are you getting at 2.7 GHz at full load?
