1.35 vCore runs FSB 1333 just fine. I've tried up to 1.5v when going up to 1500FSB and 1600FSB. Didn't help
It has to be your ram or your board is heating up. How hot is the NB? Can you put you finger on it and leave it there? I can't believe you can't hit 3200 with a E6400. Did you buy a retail chip or OEM?
Chip was retail. Neither the RAM nor the NB is too hot to the touch. But I have tons of cooling just in case. I have an Antec Nine Hundred case. It's half wire mesh, and has 2 front, 1 rear and 1 side fan that are 12cm each, a big fan on the top (PSU is on the bottom), that's 20 cm. And I have an 8cm fan mounted close to the NB heatsink blowing right on it. There isn't a temperature problem. I honestly don't know why I'm the only person who can't overclock this damn chip, but it is very irritating. I can attest to that!
