Overclocking e8400

**rony123** · 04-28-2009, 08:01 AM

Hello people! Lei OC of the famous guide to turning around the Internet, I served as a reference and to learn some things we did not know. But in practice, not everything went well because I could not take my or 3.2GHz processor, and that by testing with the SP2004 error within a few seconds.

Long you try it, that's why I do not remember well that things change and fixed values. I would have someone tell me what I do for my PC ocear, I take it from 3.6Ghz to 4Ghz.

I tell you the exact computer you have:

Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 Revision C0
Mother Asus P5K Premium

2 Dual Channel 1GB Memory (C / U) 800Mhz 5-5-5-15 1.8v-2.0v

I hope you can give me a hand!, I like to help and guide, I can go looking under the temperatures and other settings that I should.

I wanted to consult them in passing, because I have the Ninja Revision B, and they told me that if I make my micro lapping might not make good contact with the heat sink, this is possible?

Greetings and thanks in advance!

Power?

That values change?

(Multi? fsb? edited the memory timing? that error is? BSOD? Freeze?

Greetings!

No, just wanted to know is that I have to change, because I am new, I would also like to know what's cooler honing my ninja, if I run the risk mentioned. The source I have is a real Power cooler of 520W. I hope I can give a guiding hand, the error that I do not remember shooting very well, because it was quite, what I remember is that it just started an lso 3 seconds and beeps sounded cancel.

Are not reach windows? Or wave? Bios only? no truth to get your plate whether it is good to overclock, but at least with my 8400 I raised the fps a bit and get latencies of the memories, DO NOT touch voltages.

Hi,

In my opinion, the lapping is a practice that made sense in the old processors, where the processor itself was to the motherboard and the side that gave up was a ceramic coating whose thickness actually hindering the cooling core.

From the Pentium 3 and Athlon socket A, the nuclei began to put on the upper side of the process and the lapping and there began to lose meaning, because it is very risky to the processor when the sand is so core to the eye and the other part in cooling the gain is very small.

From P4, Intel began to put a metal cover to the processors, which protects the kernel from damage by placing the processor cooler ... lapping to make this cover makes little sense ... So better to just remove it.

Finally, a processor that has been subjected to lapping, lost a significant part of its price when the time comes to sell, as it erased its brands.

Anyway, my suggestion is that you do not lapping ... really not worth it ... preferable to let the process go 3 ° hotter, than to risk damage.

I think we got a lot of truth in what you say, frankly, although there were those who fell about 10 ° at the micro, is that my idea is Ocear, and in some tests I did, though not many, I saw that came to me and 70 ° seems absurd. Some people told me that if that is bad can happen is much lower, and may not; it's like to run a risk, so ask and ask advice, because there is no turning back.

Thank you very much for your replies, I hope I can help!

Greetings!

Can you make a collection of what are the problems you have?

Have you stalled (stability problems)?

Having trouble with the temperature ...

Greetings!

**rony123** · 04-28-2009, 08:11 AM

Thank you very much for your answer!, You know that I did long ago ... in fact I would try it again as soon as it becomes a bit of time, we wondered as to more or less, with the configuration I have, I advise and try to make changes like that, because when I try on my own, just started the test with the SP2004, throw an error and cancels the process for 15 seconds, sometimes less.

If I can guide you as currency values more or less like for me to have a guide and vary from there, then if it goes wrong and promise to continue asking specifying exactly what the problem was.

Thanks again!

To see when you pass a stability test and hangs the pc is because the overclock is not stable, and we need to go to fix it by increasing the processor's voltage gradually until it stabilizes with an eye on temperatures. Another option is that the reports are wrong because they are much overclocked, in this case is solved in the bios manually selecting its natural frequency.

Hello people!, I relive the post because I did the tests and I was not good ...

In the setup and set the following:

Frequencies FSB: 467 (for 4.2GHz)
PCIE Frequencies: 100
Frequencies DRAM: DDR2-910MHz
DRAM Timing Control: Manual (5-5-5-15)
CPU Voltage: 1.4500 V
DRAM Voltage: 1.90 v

With this configuration I can not boot Windows because I get a blue poster that I fail to read and reboots the PC. That's why I went up the Core voltage to initiate and bring to Windows v 1.5000, but when I start the test with the SP2004 strip core 2 error a few seconds. So I went up the voltage, and testing, but still ... throwing error, just 1.6000 v the test runs without problems, but here is the further complication ... watching temperatures, and micro-cores were almost 100 º!!!, crazy.

The truth is not to try, try it with an FSB frequency of 455 (4GHz) and 400 (3.6GHz), but none I load Windows with the voltage at 1.4500 V which is what we recommend.

Nor is it if everything else is properly set, that is why I want to guide me or can give me a solution, the better.

I remember the configuration of my PC:

Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 Revision C0 Mother Asus P5K Premium
Scythe Ninja heat sink
2 Dual Channel 1GB Memory (C / U) 800Mhz 5-5-5-15 1.8v-2.0v

Thank you for your attention! Be awaiting a response.

Greetings!

Hi.

Try relaxing memories, Make it in 667 MHz upload so do not spend too much when the 800 MHz, and also by doubts metel 2 volt.

**John Edrich** · 04-28-2009, 08:51 AM

Hello.

Put them to 2.1 V, reports, and down the frequency.

To get to 3.6 GHz should not touch the Vcore.

**rony123** · 04-28-2009, 08:52 AM

Thanks for the responses to the two! Probe but they say and do that does not work, exactly what happens today ...

I will let you buy some memos today DDR2-1066 PC2-8500 1GBx2 CL5-5-5-15 2.0v 2.1v, so I can not give me that room, or should be set now, because it also showed a lot of Settings ... and if not start windows, exit the error SP2004, sometimes in the nucleus 1, sometimes 2 or sometimes both. No longer do that, I'm about to pull the cabinet by the balcony! Can not be that there are people who can rise peacefully and I can not even put it to 3.2 because they do not pass the test of stability. 3.2 In addition I believe sincerely minimal change, my intention is to take it to the 4.2, or at least to 4GHz.

I hope I can help, because you can not be able to put your hand.

Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 Revision C0
Mother Asus P5K Premium
Scythe Ninja heat sink
Memories DDR2-1066 PC2-8500 2x1GB CL5-5-5-15 2.0v 2.1v

Thank you very much!

Make the spread spectrum and all the smart features such as fan and demases ...

only increase the fsb in increments of 5 and all the voltages and latencies leave car ...

**rony123** · 04-28-2009, 08:54 AM

Gracias capo for the reply, but tried it and no, removing the probe "Spread Spectrums and anything, car does not start the PC, I put the voltage, and probe at 1.4000 and 1.4500 but does not pass the test Stability in the SP2004, and a beep and error a few seconds. Not to do this I am going crazy!
