Initially, consider reducing the DRAM strap.
I’m not very familiar with the P5QL motherboard, but adjusting it to 400MHz from 800MHz would provide some flexibility.
Next, raise the Chipset voltage; the NorthBridge limit is between 1.25V and 1.28V, and you should allow a bit of cooling if needed (monitor temperature closely to avoid damage).
These boards aren’t optimized for high overclocking.
Around 775 MHz overclocks are reported by users with scores or frame rates unchanged in that range.
I’ve successfully run my Q6600 at 3.6GHz with 450FSB and 1066MHz RAM.
Voltage for memory can reach up to 2.1V–2.2V.
CPU voltage should stay stable, ideally between 75–80°C, as higher core clocks demand more power.
As voltage increases, so does the required supply.
TL;DR:
- Set PCIE to 100MHz
- CPU voltage: 1.45V
- For FSB strap: in CPUZ under memory settings, check FSB value
- RAM must match exactly (1:1 ratio)
- If FSB doesn’t increase, boost voltage gradually
- Follow the timing guidelines closely
- Use a temperature monitor and ensure airflow across the North Bridge.

For stability, try prime95 with 3–4 hours (small FFT) if you hit a FSB limit.
