Hello I was wondering if anyone who has experience overclocking an e8400 on this certain mobo could help me get to 4.0Ghz.
My e8400 is currently at 3.8GHz stable for 2+ orthos hours (i'll do some more testing). Due to the vdroop on this mobo (less than stellar), I have my vcore set to 1.418v in bios which cpu-z reports as 1.360v in windows during idle. The current settings i have set would be:
c1e and eist turned off
Pcie frequency to 100
Frequency latch to Auto
System Memory Multiplier : 2.00D
Memory performance: Standard
Timings are set to 5 5 5 18 and 2.1Volts as reccomended by manufacturer.
I have yet to touch MCH or CPU skew. Or MCH voltage... Does any1 have suggestions for what to set these? It also seems like i cant even post at higher clocks with 2.00B system memory multiplier where 2.00D works..
Please share your findings if you have overclocked with this board before.
I have tested with rasiing vcore up to even 1.5v in Bios to try to pass ORTHOS @ 4.0 GHz however have always failed. Windows boots up with a clock of 4.0GHz @ 1.418v + however adding more vcore up to 1.5v doesnt help to stabilize it. Perhaps my Northbridge is overheating?
