Good news! Keep volts below 1.45V and 60C on air. What's your HSF?

Are you using 4 ram sticks? If so, have you tried oc'ing with 2? Have you tried a higher FSB? My Q6600 does 400 stable (under water) on my DS3L.

Try 2 sticks and put a fan on top of that NB. I know it does get really hot, since it is really small in size. I added a SpotCool fan and reached 400 FSB.

WOW I never knew about that fan. I have been searching for the right fan for my northbridge but since the tuniq tower is so big I couldn't find a good one. I might just buy a couple thats if I have enough spots to connect the three pin to mobo. Thanks a TON!

Anytime. Those Antec SpotCool are great little fans. And your oc wall just might have been a NB overheating.

Well I have installed the new fans and have 2 spot cool fans over the northbridge area and no matter what I do I can't get to 400 FSB. So I tried 380 and I can boot but when I tried Orthos it goes for about 2 minutes and then the program shuts down. So I tried a memory/CPU test and it says I get an error. I have found out that my memory is most likely the problem cause I can't get the memory over 1000 mhz even with loose timings and right now it is set at 912. So system seems stable but going to try 3dmark and crysis to see If I get anything weird.
So any help? Should I try with only 2 sticks? Maybe better ram?

Try 2 sticks with loose ram timings first - what the ram you're using btw?
