ok old cpu i know got my eye on a Q6600 i think,

for the moment i have a E2140 on a P5nt im only able to get 1066.8 at 1.3v

and what isnt helping i think is the 1gb of ram i have although its in dual channel i cant run linked or it wont load, ive tried 1100mhz and it wont load, surely i havent hit a fsb wall at 1100 on 1gb or is that the case, im sure its the ram but im not sure, got 4gb on the way whats your sugestions for now

What brand/speed RAM? You might be setting its frequency too high.

1.45V is too high for a safe 24/7 voltage I think. The Vdroop you're seeing is usually a result of the motherboard not being so great. Did you check if speedstep or C1E was enabled? I.e. does the CPU voltage go up when you're stressing the system with p95 or occt for example? If you're putting 1.6V through it on load, you stand a much increased chance of killing your CPU.

its only 667mhz but got it running 700mhz right now, brand is eco, not to sure.
c1e is disabled, voltage stays the same ah does the mhz

I've hit a wall at 1100 so will wait for the new ram and gpu, may even go for a q6xxx or q9xxx as i read the q9 is nearly as good as the i3 or something, not sure may have read wrong!! no doubt i have!

The ram will be your wall. I had 667mhz ram and I couldnt set the memory divider any lower so I could only get to 2.8 on my q9450. Now I got 1600 ddr3 and a new mobo and I've got to 3.7 :cool:
