Thread: Overclocking E8400

Hi

I'm trying my new micro INTEL E8400, I want to know how I get to 4 MHz, now it's 3960 MHz but it will not let me, I turn on the pc, if not by memos, or source or something misconfigured. Anyway the 3960 is stable; it goes on for 8 hours and prme95 no fault with the games, Race Driver GRID Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 all in full 1280 x 960 works of 10 without failure.

My configuration

INTEL E8400 (multi x 9 / bus 440 / 3960 MHz) with DICIPADOR ZIPANG (Scythe) Cool 140 cm / TEMP REAL: CORE 1 and CORE 2 º 40 º 38 and under 50 º / 56 º
ASUS P5KC
SLI OCZ DDR 2 800 MHz (880 MHz / 5-5-5-15 / 2T / 1:1)
MSI 8800 GT (G92)
XFI EXTREME Gamers
3 SATA (120/320/400)
LG DVRW
500W COOL POWER SOURCE
GAME GABINETE SELKIS Development (Coolers 2X 120 cm / 1X 80 cm)

4MHz? Is too little? To reach 4GHz you have to start voltages both CPU and memory, which will greatly raise the temperature, so it is time to think about changing the CPU fan (which is makes contact between the heat sink and the CPU) to achieve higher oc.

Upload voltages is very risky, you must either climb down, because one can over-burn something.

Is not the issue, but wanted to ask, if that warrants an e8400 OC is perfect or that the 3.0 has? I will take a while to make it on the web. But wanted to know if the e8400 OC really deserves, or rather leave it by the way.

For the rest ... I think the same with respect to voltages. The times that I've handled, the temp shot to be fired ... I do not mean to rise incredibly, but the change is noticeable. The range in my Celeron and climbed as 4th in the average only upload it 1.2va 1.3V...

I exceed 4 GHz without any problems, leaving the voltage on auto. I have almost the same machine E8400 (but with the stock cooler) OCZ Platinum REV2 memos 800MHz, ASUS P5K mother is. To achieve the 3960 MHz?

With 3.0 GHz and is an excellent micro. But it costs nothing to upload it to 3600 for example, stock voltages, the low temp and pays more. When I get home I do some tests with and without OC. So you see the difference.

Since we handle very well remember to keep the temp monitored over everything.
Voltages were in default?

Whatever the amendment seeks not to exceed 50 º C to yield well, but if you spend, put the barrier of 60 º C which would be relatively critical.

At 60 work well to get 70 idiots slightly there, my old Pentium worked for 83 seconds and played a half-life 2 to 62, smooth, then obviously the solution, not healthy to do for long.

Well, get a CPU when you have time, I stopped to see the reports.

Memories are fine, if you do not generate the low volatility of 800MHz and 667 ready.

Try to see your work making the CPU temperatures, Everest stress test is a very good, but perhaps it is better to run a super pi, which temperatures more real.

Hello, as the operator said, to achieve stability, you should run the test "small FTT of Prime95 for at least 8 hours continuously without errors.

Those 4 GHz overclocks up to the truth I do not pass the test... Well show them a screenshot of my overclock.

If you talk to 4 GHz I did not do any kind of evidence, I direct a play (race driver grid) and played about 1 hour.

The problem I had was temp but nothing that can not be solved by changing the stock cooler.
