need help. Overclocking Failed! at startup

Retired
Not applicable
you can see my rig on my signature. firstly i'm new to overclocking. the problem is i try to overclock at bios i can only reach roughly 3.6ghz stable with around 1725mhz ram after tested prime95 for 4-5 hours. if i put higher and restart it the overclocking failed! will appear. is it due to the voltage? i put auto for all.

another question is my ram timing should be 7-8-7-24 but when i check cpu-z it is 9-8-9-24 if i'm not mistaken. why is it so? do i have to manually tweak it at bios?

by the way my bios version is 1307 i already flashed it. really need help.

there are so many variables to consider when Overclocking, RAM max speed, NB max speed cpu max speed, mem timing and all the assosiated voltages I suggest you google search for dolks phenom overclocking guide, its a very good and informative guide.
