Problems OC'ing E6600 on striker extreme - Page 2

Up the voltages and tweak a little bit in the BIOS:

here's what I get out of my P5N32E SLI PLUS (same as Striker), all watercooled:

I tried the 1604 MHz and the settings proposed by xtremesystems, which led to a lot of headaches. (It didn't boot quite often, but after a while it did again and so on). The board/bios is really unstable when changing settings, especially the NB & VTT voltages.

Anyway, it works now @ following settings. (See thumbnail)

I would like to go higher, since my 1920x1200 24" TFT needs all the computing power it can get to run all games @ native res and good speeds. But first I'm going to keep it at these settings for a while to test the stability.

this is a lot better already, but dont forget at high resolutions (heave graphics) the cpu isnt the bottleneck, but the videocard. I play @1680x1050 and a lower or higher oc doesnt make much difference. 1.41v is pretty high for this oc, i can do this with the same chipset @ 1.30 v you cant get higher?

So I've been running my PC on these speeds for a while.

It's 100% stable during gaming/benchmarking, no problem.

BUT: I ain't to happy with this config. As of last week, I went to a LAN-party, didn't change anything to the config and it just wouldn't boot. When I pressed the button all fans started running but no boot.

Also clearing the CMOS didn't have any effect, I had to try and boot a gazillion times (even when swapping my RAM and replacing the video card with an old PCI Voodoo3).

Eventually it started booting again (for no apparent reason). Also (almost) everytime I change a setting in the bios, the machine won't boot the first time. I have to shut it down again and reboot, then it boots most of the time.

As you understand this is very frustrating from an O/C point of view.

BTW: the revision of my striker extreme is 1.00.
