The signals at 900MHz aren't holding steady, and raising the voltage isn't helping. It looks like the main issue is with the 3 ICs close to the RAM, possibly affecting voltage control. I'm considering adjusting the voltage slightly but think it might be more about those nearby components. I'm planning to purchase some 50k ohm potentiometers and a budget digital multimeter. Do I need any other parts? Might I need thinner wire since I have some from a dead PSU. I'm thinking about buying a better board, though—it would need a more stable PSU otherwise the voltage could spike. I might keep it for testing purposes until I can get a proper DDR3 board. It wouldn't be worth the effort if it doesn't save time, but I'm willing to try. Who knows, maybe this helps me voltmod my P5Q for higher voltage, even though it's outdated. The last time I saw voltmoding was on LGA775, but I'm not sure if anyone still does it.
Make sure to provide a detailed build specification, including components like the CPU and memory type. Clarify the overclock details—such as the exact frequency you're targeting. Overclocking performance depends on many factors, not just voltage. Share more specifics so I can give you accurate advice.
Board runs on a g31m S2C CPU with an e8400 chip. This setup is similar to my previous C2D board, running at 4.05GHz with 1.28V RAM voltage, set to 2V FSR per TTL. I’m using max offset at 2V, possibly adjusting the IC if I locate one that controls this voltage. A P31 DS3L might work since it matches the board and has NB settings, though these components seem pricier than the P5Q boards. Also, my 1066 DDR2 struggles at 900MHz on this board, so NB is likely needed.
You're stuck with the NB and can't make any changes. No multi adjustments or core v tweaks are needed. Let's focus on the right path. I'm not a heavy modder—just done a few video cards and a couple of boards, so you're not alone.

The strap requires memory, and the voltage is essential. The CPU core also depends on the right voltage. I’d suggest 1.35 to 1.40 volts, and a chiller could push you to around 4.6 to 5ghz. I’ve used ice water and a pond pump before to tackle many challenges. That’s how I’ve managed.
I’m not confident with 775 unless you’re serious about overclocking—then you can boost the Nb core voltage. It’s a tough adjustment, but you can find more info on OC forums. You might not find active modders there.
Maybe OCN?
