I put 1.58v due to vdroop. just make sure its temps are cool and it does not throttle.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but have you got the PCI bus locked to a stable speed ?
(When not locked to 100Mhz on my [A] and [B] rigs it's all horribly unstable.)

| That seems like speedstep is enabled which will show up as a lower multi in cpu z, I would suggest putting your vcore manually at 1.3800(near as) to get 3.0Ghz(all cpu's differ,some need more), Ensure your ram is set to the lowest divider in bios. Run a program called Orthos which will test your pc for stability. warm regards

system is really unstable, running speedfan and then opened cpuz and it crashed again ;-(
will drop to stock speed for the time being so I can at least use pc
got a blue screen with nv4_ something error then it rebooted
vcore when running is very low something 1.2 but how accurate that is I do not know

I run my C2D at 1.4v Indeed, my own general recommendation would be set 1.4v and oc to 3Ghz straight away. Then check for stability with Orthos and, if stable, reduce to 1.39v then check stability again and if stable drop to 1.38v and check again.........etc., etc. until you find the lowest vcore that will sustain 3Ghz.
As long as you have Thermal Throttling set in your bios even 1.5v or 1.6v isn't going to blow a C2D cpu. It will just throttle back or shut down, so 1.4v is no problem at all.
I've yet to see any C2D that will not hit 3Ghz when given 1.4v.
