I've been trying to overclock my new e8400 on a gigabyte ep45 ds3l, and having trouble getting into windows. I've tried many things including turning off c1e, EIST, and thermal probe 2.
I have successfully got into windows and orthos stable at 3.3 with 9x366 with ram running 5:6 (439 mhz, 5-5-5-15 @ 2.0 volts), but cannot get into windows at 9x400 at 1:1 (400 mhz 2.0 volts 5-5-5-15). I have tried giving more voltage to the processor and MCH, using turbo and standard modes, have fiddled around quite a bit really and with no luck. I get to the windows loading bar and that's it, black screen indefinitely.
It seems to be these are not terribly aggressive settings and I dont see why they are not working. Hardware is:
E8400 with thermalright tower and 120mm vantec fan (temps are 50c load at 3.3)
G.skill 2x2gb ddr2-800
Gigabyte EP45 DS3L
700W OCZ gamestream powersupply
Radeon 4870 with Hr-03 cooler
HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card
Antec Three Hundred case (lots of cooling)
Any help here would be much obliged cus I'm really puzzled with whats going on here.
