2g ram kingstone value ram at 800mhz
x1950 pro 256 power color
hd 320 wd
i stated to 0c to 3.24 (360*9) at volt from bios 1.19
i tested it for 30 min with prime95 and it passed

i need u to evaluate my work and advice me to continue to 3.6

Don't boot into Windows when the overclock hasn't been stablized with memtest. Cuz doing so can corrupt your Windows to the point it no longer boots.

Push it to 3.6ghz (9 x 400). Keep vdimm at stock. You may have to up vcore & vNB/vFSB.

i pushed it to 3.6 but i got this massage

i increased core voltage to 1.29350

You want to take your load voltage readings from CPU-Z as you may have a slight vdroop causing the voltage on the CPU to be lower than that set in the BIOS.

The fail will be from slight lack off vcore, on the plus you must be close to stable to get 18 minutes stable .

cpuz reads 1.25 but the bios set it to 1.29350 so i have vdroop 0.04 is it danger to make all that happens
i have stability now on same settings but i disable dual channel and make it single channel i want some one to tell me whats happening?
