Overclocking my Q6600 currently at 3.2GHz with a ASUS Rampage Formula X48.

forgive me for butting in....

This is my very first post here. Today was my first attempt at overclocking. I followed the recipe provided by "fitseries3".

I was surprised I booted into windows as I was sure I would make a mistake my first attempt...

After about 10 minutes my pc rebooted. then when back in windows pc rebooted again after about 5 minutes. Cpu temp on my Q6600 G0 stepping was about 40 degrees celsius or less.

I recet my cmos and went back to default settings in bios.

system details:

mobo: Asus Rampage Formula
Cpu: Q6600 G0 stepping
Ram: G.SKILL DDR2 PC2 8500 4GB kit
cpu cooler: Zalman CNPS9700 LED
Video Card: Visiontek HD 4850
Audio: Onboard
Power: Antec 850W TruePower Quattro
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit sp1

Attached is a cpuz score. I'm also attempting to attach the link. Its the score I was able to save while my pc was running. Obviously not stable.
