q6600 3.0 overclock trouble

[iluvgillgill]

are you mounting the cooler with the fan blowing upward or towards the back case fan? it looks like its facing upward if im not wrong. or 1 or 2 of your push pin is not fully in. or i could be wrong!

the fan is facing the front of the comp. **** is that bad? should i reattach?

 

[iluvgillgill]

if the fan is facing the front and blowing out the back then its fine. because the cores in the CPU is stacking one another if you look at it from the side. you need heatpipes to sit on top of it which you can achieve by having it place like i said.

i really feeling sleeping now.good night!see you tomorrow!good luck!

U didnt answer me mate i asked u if i want to stress "Only" RAM,is it better to test it with memtest or with P95?

 

[nukemaster]

Memtest.

Prime will find memory errors, but does lot tell you if its memory or cpu.

Bad mem's dead give away is normally all kinds of BSOD's

to test for BAD/DEAD build memory you use memtest. but if you try to find stable OC the P95.
