Hmmmmm........EVGA nForce 680i SLI 775 AR Version, 4 gigs of Patriot extreme 5-5-5-5-12, Maxtor Sata 3.0gb 500gig, Dual Evga 8800GT's in SLi, XP Pro SP2. Okay, new board: FSB 1333, Multiplier 10, Vcore 1.42 volts, Q6700, CPU with Arctic Cooler Pro = 36 Celcius (a little hot in my book). Nada............I drop the FSB to 1270 = 3.197. All is good. I can't get the Q6700, regardless of vcore voltage changes etc past 3.2 ghz. It tried running the new system wiht both Vista Home Primium and XP Pro SP2. I'm thinking I got the one Q6700 that is a POS (Piece of %@#&) or am I missing something here? Could it be the Patriot memory as it was cheap? 2 x 2gigs? Very Frustrating.

try 8x400 and see if your board just has a FSB hole in it.

I'll give it a shot and let you know tomorrow. Thanks! I'm tempted to buy a E8400 and sell this Q6700. Now that would be stupid! Actually, I just found out that my Evga board will support the Wolfdale with a bios update so I am buying a new one on ebay later today. I'll use the Q6700 in my recording studio Puter in place of the Phenom 9500 which has turned out to be a dog.......really bad for AMD and very sad as I love their company support! EDIT: I just bought the E8400 retail for $219.00. Man, these CPU's are hard to find! What gives with that? Given that the Q6700 cost me $450, I'll feeling pretty good about the possibility of 4ghz on air for that price and the 45 nm @ 1333FSB stock means this thing should rock!

Well well well......come to find out that the 680i has overclocking issues wihtout the P32 bios update. I bought the E8400 and so I have to update the bios anyway. I guess if had just done the research in the first place I wouldn't have been so annoying!!!  I'm going to flash the bios tonight and I'll report what happens to the Q6700 as my E8400 won't be here till next week.

Installed P32 bios and had to reinstall XP. The suggestions from EVGA is that this increases quadcore stability with overclocking: They are right. Vcore 1.3875, Mult 10 @ 1333 = 3.33 Ghz, core. ran stable!!!!! Oc's dual 8800 gt's 675/925 and YIKES! 3Dmark06 = 17468! highest I could get before was 16,407! I'm getting the Wolfdale E8400 next week and 4 ghz should be a peice of cake. That should run me up to ove 19000 I'm thinkiing.
