I just got my Q6600 and scored 13886 on 3dMark06 with my OC to 2.8 Ghz. When I went to 3.0 Ghz I got 12500, I changed a some voltages back to Auto and now I get 10900.
Does anyone know what is going on?

Is it more than likely not enough voltage....or the other way around? I tried the voltages and 1.4 and 1.425 v and got BSOD. When I set it to auto I didn't get BSOD but the 3dmark scores were pathetic. I mean....my old AMD 6000+ (OC to 3.3Ghz)was almost to 12000.

Now try to disable Speedstep in your BIOS, people say that sometime makes easy overclocks unstable

Planned Rig of 2007: .. But things don't go according to plan! My Actual Rig, 2009:
I disabled the C1E (Thats what its called right??) But I couldn't find the EIST.
*edit* In PCWizard it does say that Speedstep is still enabled. The EIST at least.
I just checked my BIOS and since I had a multiplier selected instead of having it set to "AUTO" the "Intel Speedstep Technology" had disappeared for some reason. It was disabled anyway.
However, in PCWizard it still says its on.
