I've always had better luck unlinking the memory and OC'ing the CPU first and then going back and doing the memory "AFTER" the CPU OC is stable, that's the great thing with Nvidia chipsets.
Same here... unlinking is best. It could be that your memory was being overclocked and you didn't realize it.

E8400 available ( combo deal )
Man, I wish I had seen this before.
Micro Center has a combo deal ( CPU and Mobo )
for 319.99.
Some cheapo board, but it has an E 8400 on it.
If I saw this I would have saved a few bucks.
I didn't see it on the online store, just locally.
But, Hey 319.99 for an E8400...why not.

I thought that E8400 were going for around $250, that is if you can find them.
Haha... NCIX has E3110s IN STOCK. It's the E8400 equivalent, and it is $250 even:

Where in the heck did you get that link? Thanks for that, I'll update our news post.

I'd really like to see some OC results on the E3110's, you would think that they OC much better due to their lower overall VID................
Wow... actually that is in Canadian dollars.
US price is $206.96 http://www.ncixus.com/products/28910/BX80570E3110/Intel/

Yup, it's an insanely great price. I'd pick one up to see how far it can be pushed, but I still believe my overall FSB cap with the E8400 held that one back as is.

Wish I had some stuff to sell so I could get something new to play around with OC'ing, my E6750 is really pretty boring with its FSB wall.

It does OK I guess, but I'm sure I could do much much better with one of the newer cores.
My E6750 will not go past 465 FSB (3.7 GHz ish) regardless of what I do.............
I've tried it on a 650i, 680i and now a P35 board, it stops clocking at exactly the same point on all 3 boards even with the multi dropped.

Thanks.............
I guess I'm just getting the bug for a new CPU with better OC'ing I guess. That happens with me at times after I've reached the end of what a chip can do,
