Hi there i need help to OC my CPU from 3.6 to 4Ghz. The problem is that i cant find stable settings, the highest stable OC is @3.6Ghz - memory@900Mhz, CPU voltage - 1.31 and everyting else on Auto. I managed to get into Windows @3.8Ghz but after 5 min i got BSOD
The settings i used to get 3.8Ghz was:
CPU : 1.42 v
CPU PLL : 1.6 v
North bridge : 1.7 v
Memory 1000Mhz 2.1 v
I know my memory isn't good enough but should reach 1000Mhz right?

first make sure your fsb will hit 500, lower the memory and cpu multiplier so that both are not likly to be factors. The give it a whirl. If it hits it, then put the memory multiplier back but leave the cpu mult lowered and try that. If that also works then you'll know it's most likely the cpu that can't handle the clock speed. If the memory simply refuses to hit 500 then you'll know they you need new mem.
