    Re: Need help getting UD3R+E8400 to 4.0!

    Yes, try Intel Burn Test. The next step would be to try to tighten up the memory sub-timings a little to see if we can get things a little more efficient in the memory transfer department. We should be able to reduce memory latency just a bit more. Your temps look quite good, so I think the voltages are all good. Let me know how Intel Burn Test goes. If all goes well, you can take the Static tRead value down from 12 to 11. Do it for both channels. Do a benchmark again. The Static tRead makes quite a bit of difference, and your benchmark should be a few points higher. Again, test for stability. If we're lucky, we can get to a value of 11. I don't think we can go lower than 11. Don't be disappointed if things crash and you have to go back to 12. You're at 4 GHz stable!

      Alright man!!! I'll let you know. :)

      edit: Tried 11s, Intel Burn Test failed! Recieved a BSOD. Changed back to 12s now! I'm guessing this should be it? If so, then lots of thanks for all the help and patience man. :) Wouldn't have done it without you.


      all the best,

        Yep, looks like we're as far as we can go. Nice overclock!

          Ahh been out of the gigabyte forum for awhile .

          I used to run my Q8400 at 4.ghz ,I have it detuned now as i changed out its psu for my new pc and running with fewer fans.
          gskill p1 should be good for 990-1000 pl 9 with tweaking.

          Memory on a 1:1 basis ie a 2:00 multiplier allways worked the best for me,which means either underclocking your 1066,using 1000 or overclocking your 800mhz sticks.
