    hmm ok when i overclock my memory than with 2.00 multiplier

      For 333FSB 2.40B should be fine.

        You mention " PCI Express Frequency (Mhz)_______ [102] "
        I thought that should be set at 100

          While overclocking, leave on 100 is the usual advice, otherwise it will just be another complication. Play with pci after cpu/ram overclock is complete if u want.

          If u saw this in a template, it is not a recommended setting, but a leftover from an individual overclock.

                      Hello ,

                      I'm trying to OC my E8400 on this P45 UD3R motherboard.
                      I just played with the voltages and ran OCCT for 20 minutes, but I don't know if they're set correctly. Which should I lower and which should I raise?

                      Could you guys help me please?

                        You are the only one that can tell really. All look within reason. If they are stable than they are just fine.
                        What is memory max voltage specs?

                        20 minutes OCCT are not enough, run 8+ hours medium data set to be more sure.
                        IBT(IntelBurnTest) may help indicate if there's enough Vcore and/or if it can be lowered.

                        Would be better if you make your own thread, post screen capture of MemSet main(click >>) and SPD(click spd) windows.
                        Add this system spec to your signature including link to ram specs or at least model/part number.

                          They do look ok, are you failing any tests? If so, you may need to try a bit more MCH Voltage to start with

                            Continued from page 17...
                            Hi I took some time off, those late nights along with BSOD's & other instability issues drove me mad so I took a breather.
                            Anyway back now so I probably should start where I left off. With my current setting I finally got my baby to work, only this time did what
                            Salty suggested, or just say I detoxed myself from that A2.5 divider that I was hooked on. Good news it worked without the need of more juice to the CPU.
                            As it turned out or I realized I should say it was that divider keeping me back, the CPU itself is well capable of 4Ghz & reasonably
                            cool with temps of: As according to CoreTemp Idle @38~41 Load @60~62.
                            Speed Fan shows exactly the same as Real Temp idle @ 44~47 Load @62~65, Overall OC boost: CPU +34.6% _ FSB +27.6%
                            Salty thanks for all your help, Lsdmeasap superb tutorial without it I'd be still on 3.0Ghz thanks a lot.

                              Good one. You stuck with it. Nice to hear I may have managed to help too.

                              The cpu volts would be high for my E8500, but if you have temps under control ... 4.037GHz, quite good for a QX9650 as far as I kno. I'm guessing it's not hot where u compute at.

                              My only thoughts;
                              Static tRead Value : Rather than auto around 7 is good. I would suggest 7. You're after lowest number that yr PC boots stably on. Auto sets this too high/slow. Memset can show u what auto sets it to under "performance level". Only a small boost but looks good in Everest memory bench tool.

                              Static tRead Phase Adjust : as far as I know, best left on auto.

                              Loadline Calibration: Disputed setting. Up to the individual. If you have it auto or disabled with yr cpu volts shown, then enabling might allow use of lower nominal vcore. Not sure if that affects temps.

                              Keep on clockin'
