    4ghz stability problem

    Thanks for the replies people. Its perfectly stable running 21x191 @ 1.32500v core but I would ideally not like to run the 21 turbo multiplier. I tried 19x210 and had the same issue, would run LinX for about 10-30 mins and lock up or reboot itself. One thing I haven't tried yet which im...

    E8400 Overclocking

    Hi mate, yeah the striker and Q6600 is my main PC still until I go i7 soon, this E8400 is going to be a dedicated folding machine, I got given the P5K board and had an E8400 lying about so wanted to push them as hard but reliably as possible. @ 3.6ghz it seems rock solid after many hours of...

    i7 time, couple quick questions :)

    Right have decided I need to jump on the i7 train especially hearing that Intel might be pulling the lower spec i7's when the i5's come out! Im going for the 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) as its supposed to be a good overclocker. What I need now is a good motherboard for overclocking but one...

    E8400 Overclocking

    It is a C0 but I got 3.6 no problem but on 4ghz @ 1.35 vcore it will post but wont boot, I will have to have another play and try upping NB & VTT etc otherwise I will just leave it at 3.6 :)

    E8400 Overclocking

    I'm a bit of a folding Guru mate, I already have 8 Nvidia GPU's folding, a couple of quad cores and this e8400 will be in a dedicated folding machine along with 2 more 9800GT GPUs :) Just wanna get as much out of the CPU as possible without making it unreliable ;)

    E8400 Overclocking

    OK got it to run @ 3.6ghz quite happily with 400fsb, 1.3 vcore but at 445fsb and 1.35vcore plus some other tweeks it posts but bluescreens on windows boot :(

    E8400 Overclocking

    Yeah got prime 95 and memtest etc to test stability, its going to be folding 24/7 so I need it to be reliable so I will try for 3.6 first and then try for 4ghz Cheers bud, FSB wise I assume I need to run 400 for 3.6 and 450 for 4ghz? V-core wise you think 1.3v would be ok for 3.6ghz...

    Ah right fair enough :) So do you peeps think that reliable 3.6ghz on this C0 version is possible on a decent air cooler? :D

    E8400 Overclocking

    Whats a good overclock on an E8400 CPU on an Asus P5B motherboard? I don't want to go silly as its on air cooling but as its 3ghz stock would 3.6ghz be a reasonable jump? Any advice greatly appreciated as im still a noob when it comes to overclocking lol :)

    New case with good cooling!

    My old Case was a Lian-Li PC-50 and I really did like the quality of it and ive reused it for my folding rig but I fancied a change with some serious cooling power and the Antec was exactly what I was after this time around :) I need a new case for my home server soon which is another OC'd...
