Im pretty satisfied with 4.05 for now. I haven't pushed much past that. Mostly due to inadiquete cooling. If I was on water I may try to push it some more. I think Im saving water cooling for the i7 line. I think Im turning into an overclocking junky/risk taker.
yeah. I just havent gone back and adjusted them yet. Just left them on auto to get the overclock, then I go back and tweak them unitl occt decides they are wrong. ;) Is that he best way?

I got inspired by nefariouscaines post on his journey to ulimate air speeds here: an E8500 on a Asus P5N-e SLI post. Without his help I could never have gotten over my 3600mhz ceiling. All HAIL nefariouscaine!
I have kept a pretty good journal of what I have tried so far and wanted to journal...
1700 @4037? u meant 1800 right?
Im running 1725@3881mhz
Im thinking about ditching the artic 7 for true or another cooler. I think thats whats holding me back from 4.0
The 2x2GB DDR2 1066 DOMINATORS came in today. Got them running stock 5-5-5-15-2T. The heatsinks get in the way of my air cooling so I had to mount the fans with brackets in funny spots. I'll post a pic later. Running occt for awhile yeilds cpu: 36 core 1: 51 core 2: 46 was the highest according...
I thought I should post my experience with the e8400 and a 650i:
My PRE 3.8 oc set up was:
ViewSonic VG2030WM 20" 5ms Widescreen LCD 300 cd/m2 800:1 1680 x 1050
XION Onyx XON-301 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower - cut out the black backing on the front panels to let air flow come through...
Yeehaa!!!
Someone give that man a cigar!!
So..here is what I tried:
1.
FSB 1750
Linked And Sync
1.36vcore
2.25v mem
1.56v nb
memory auto timings
=Booted and in windows
CPUZ:
3937.9 cpu
437.6 bus
1750.2 rate bus
Mem Timings:
5-5-5-31 2T Trc 24
Cpu Idle: 33c
core 1 idle: 44c...
Will do. I hope this is helpful to others. I have scowered the internet for months looking for solutions and just now am posting for help. I couldnt really find the exact issue. Most people are settling for 3.6 with the e8400 and not posting about it I assume if it fails past that. I'll try...
So even though the boards are the same make, doesnt mean they will act the same. :( Well, they should generally act the same, but a very good point none the less. I wonder if I could RMA it?
I'll give that a try. Good thinking. I am using the same board you are and bios version 900. Im thinking its the ram. I got some ddr2-1066 on the way so I'll know more then. Your oc the e8500 to 4.0 so i would figure I could at least get to 3.7 on the e8400.
Just tried the following:
1.
Unlinked
fsb 1650
mem 667-770
mem 5-5-5-18 2T trc 24
1.3v vcore
2.25v mem
1.56v nb
= NO BOOT
2.
Link
1:1
fsb 1650
mem to AUTO
left trc 24
=NO BOOT
3.
Same as above except
5:4 ratio
=NO BOOT
4.
Same as above except
3:2 ratio
=NO BOOT...
Thanks for the quick replies and for the correction. I've messed around with so many settings its all starting to run together.
I wanted to get to at least 3.7 first. I have all spectrum stuff off, and dont use the +100mv unless said in listing below.
1. 1.2125Vcore
2.013 mem...
