Overclocking Q6600, Corsair 800mhz crash

[matt1010]

Specs:

Q6600
Corsair XMS2 CM2X2048-6400C5 800 mhz
8800 GTS
P5Q Motherboard

I've been testing pushing my Q6600, I've got it to 3.4 and 3.6, but each time my computer will spontaneously reboot when I test it ingame. I am still not sure what to set my DRAM Voltage to, it says 1.8 on the RAM, but I've been told anywhere from 1.9 to 2.1. But whenever I set that voltage it remains unchanged when I check everest. It says its still at 1.8

Was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations on what to set in BIOS because I have yet to get a stable overclock.

What frequency are you running the memory? Most likely you need more Vcore to your CPU based on what you have posted.

Before I wanted to overclock, the memory was set to auto and so was the voltage. When I was overclocking at 3.6 it was set to 801 mhz and when I had my cpu at 3.4 I think the freq was 848 or something.

In order to eliminate the whether the ram is causing the reboots.. U could try running memtest for like 12hrs and prime95 blend for 5hrs.. If either reports errors.. Most likely you need to rma the ram.. If not then i'm guess u need more voltage on that 3.6ghz oc..

Voltages either to high or to low.
