Hey all,
I was hoping I could get some ideal settings for OC'ing the E8500 to 4GHZ with my set up. I'd like to be able to do it out of the box after making sure all parts are good. A reviewer on newegg said he used the Easy Tune 6 software to overclock to 4 GHZ no problem (using the automatic boost feature in the software). Should I just do this and save me the trouble of messing with the BIOS? Also, after oc'ing can I just run prime95 for 24 hours to test stability? Or is there something else I should run? I've looked at all tutorials on this and other forums but this stuff is just over my head. I understand voltage and FSB are the prime factors, but this board has so many features I don't know where to begin. I believe 4ghz is an easy goal for this cpu, so I'm hoping I can run it stable for years.
